U+ZINE #2 - Do Corporations have a future? - Plurality University

FICTIONALIZING
FUTURES
In 2019, along with the Plurality
University Network, Leonard, Vinci
Group’s innovation lab, gathered a
diverse group of employees to imagine
what work will look like in 2040, in an
around the company. Using fictional
and artistic content as raw material,
the groups came up with stories
where positive endeavors, such as
reinventing the company’s business
models around car- and ride-sharing,
are mixed with renewed exploitation
of precarious workers. Although some
stories paint the company under a
somewhat dark light, it decided to
publish them (with the help of illustrator
Louise Plantin) without any alteration,
adding: « It is now up to Vinci Group to
build its own desirable future. »

souhaités», Leonard, 2020
