Impact Factories is a blog about product management, innovation and how organisations change. I write it on my own.
Who writes here
David Leblanc. I have spent fifteen years building products. First in defence R&D, on autonomous systems. Then running a B2B startup. Today as Head of Product at Dassault Systèmes. This blog is the notebook of what I learn while doing the work.
I have published two books, Smart World and Usines à Impact, both in French. The full bibliography is here.
What I do with others
Writing alone does not mean working alone.
I am active at Alsace Digitale, the association that brings together the digital ecosystem of the Alsace region. I meet the people who build things there, which beats any market study.
I co-run the Strasbourg chapter of French Product, the community of product professionals in France. We host meetups between practitioners: product managers, designers, engineers, founders.
The events I take part in or organise are announced in the Community section.
