La coopération, un mode d’organisation à favoriser dans notre société | Elise Ghienne | TEDxINPENSAT


[Applause]
hello so I remember the elysée me
I come to talk to you about things that
seem important to me in the
life because life passes quickly
just heard a topic about time
life passes quickly and suddenly it’s
importing both reuse
clocks on time so the first
question that’s what is it
really important your life and that’s
a question that is kind of
leitmotiv in your life must keep it
often you rested it often then
of course there are the primary needs
you may know the pyramid of
maslow you have to be able to feed
to be able to lodge to be heated etc
and then also live in a sense of
security is that they were immediate
and then the environment whether it’s on
the workplace at school etc
but beyond its primary needs and
of security and even though sometimes the ends
months are a bit difficult and
do not eat very well for me what
seems the most important is the
relationship between beings
in fact we all seek more or less the
same thing we do not necessarily say the
same way but in fact we are looking for
all the happiness we seek to be
happy to be good in our life to
to be fully satisfied with what we
lives to blossom to move forward in life
with confidence with what we are
maybe to create things or to
imagine no matter but we want
to be good and it goes very much by the
relationship between people the relationship
between beings and by the need we have
all to be respected of power
to preserve one’s dignity is also
to be able to make your own choices
so this quality of relational nothing
I will come back to it quite often because
that it’s for me the most
important
when we are young often we always
a whole bunch of adults coming from us
say what to do
so to a whole bunch of rules it takes
to respect things that are imposed on us
so it’s always for our good
can suppose it
often it’s also because we are
in collective operations and
that for community life
works well it’s easy
pleasant
you still need a minimum of rules
but in fact we feel it and that the little ones
the center
very quickly they need to understand
they need to have the choice
they need to join and in
often growing this more and more
strong we need to accept a rule or
to refuse it or to be able to discuss
discuss to understand it discussed for
change it negotiate and that’s it
a form of power to act on our
life to be able to move forward in life
in self-respect and that’s it
which allows fulfillment
I do not know if you imagine a life
whole where you do that obey
orders you do what do you do
said to do without ever taking
of initiatives without ever proposing
things i do not know for myself it would be a
a year old minors mortals I do not know
what that would be for you but good and
when we start talking about choices we
I asked myself about our
democratic functioning because in
France good it’s been two centuries
experimenting with democracy but we have a
very particular representation of
the soul and democracy that is related
in elections we know the votes
whether national or at
national at the local level his influences
our hand our fair representation
to remind you democracy it comes
of demos the citizen the one who
is interested in the city anyway to the
collective life and kratos and kratos and the
power by force
whoever imposes himself by force
of the strongest not necessarily by the reason
it could have been another word so we
can express oneself one is in a democracy
great is not it so why
such a rate of absenteeism in elections
more or less I agree but it
goes from bad to worse anyway there is even
thinkers who said several
times in history that democracy
is not what will bring the
people to happiness that eventually people
for for him to be happy there is
other forms than the democracy of
dictatorships and the enlightened oligarchies
etc. which can make it possible to produce
happiness in people
good maybe there may be some
experiences that works but at the same
time I was born here in France and from
blow ben i’m bi too my own
representations and I continue to think
that democracy is desirable but
not necessarily for the end in itself I know
not if democracy will lead us to
happiness what I believe by cons it’s
that it allows us to decide together
what is good for us is a
form of self-determination
and above all it’s the exercise
democratic in itself does it
to exercise its democratic power which
do we adjust each other
and then that finally we have a
experience of living together and that we
can improve this experience of living
together
it is the exercise that counts more than
purpose this self-determination one can
to live it full of shales I do not know
if you are a member of an association
but it’s the same when you’re a member
from an association to an assembly
general at one point we vote on
make decisions
and then there is the there is also a
democratic exercise that can be exercised
in the workplace and that’s when
even important to think that because
in the active period that lasts then
is over 42 years old a little more now
but which in any case lasts a long time
beautiful professional life it’s a
third of your life a third of your life
happens at work
so if a third of your life you
can exercise it democratically
rather than obeying orders
well it’s still more fun I’m going
not talk to you about collaborative economics
or circular is very fashionable
I’m going to talk about economy
cooperative then often we oppose the
public property and property
private property and ownership is considered
individual it is private and the
collective property was going public
cooperatives it’s at the crossroads of
it’s collective property
but private it does not belong to the state
it belongs to a collective of individuals
we are in collective ownership
private
and in companies we often have
company representations that
belong to shareholders
so here we have kibaki shareholders them
their interest is to make
dividends
these two to have a return on
investment so make profit
and at the other end we have
employees whose interest they are
to have correct wages and
comfortable working conditions in
convertibles
cooperative societies and
participatory
we have employees who are associated or
in any case that are intended to be
it means that the company
belongs to assaults if that is to say
to employees employees are
owners of capital
the democratic principle that works
so at a general meeting of a
house and each person each associate
employees to a law can be
someone who owns a lot of shares
capital of large shareholders
is someone who has just arrived in
the cooperative is not long
that he is he has a weakness at the
capital there is not one who has a voice
more important than the other
there is a total equality of people
whose voting power
so the general assemblies are
majority of employees
who all have the same decision-making power
and that means we have to think about
once in seurre
what are these working conditions are
can think about these working conditions
as an employee but also we are
responsible for the business and
the company needs it to endure
be perennial
so every time we take a
decision you have to think about both sides
we are responsible for the consequences to
short medium and long term
so in concrete terms there are decisions
collective actions to take on the common good
what do we do with the business of
times there are things to sell
leaves and things to acquire from
investments to be made we take
decisions on the organization of work
on what is produced
what new products what new
services we will develop how we
product
and then if there are any benefits start
this is the nice part
but that’s not always the case
and these decisions ben inevitably when we
takes them around values
and we try to find values
common
so when we band of friends who has
set up a small cooperative together
these links it’s easy but 20 40 50 it
are cooperatives with several
hundreds of employees and ben there it’s
more difficult
we do not all have the same stories
all these same values ​​we do not have all
the same desires and himself even makes
from the past, you can change your point
of change and so I work
in a cooperative and when I’m
arrived I did
a kind cooperative I had met
the prince charming what was I going
not work in a company where there is
will have a boss who will tell me what to do
no I will be actor of my
business it was really great
and then the manager the manager he was him
serves that we know the employees who
choose the boss so we can
suppose that necessarily the boss he is going
pay attention to the conditions of
Work of the employees
the manager he’ll watch out for all that
otherwise he will not be re-elected the next
times be careful
so yes yes in general finally me this
that I knew those deaths from the managers who
are already people who are annuity that
are benevolent except that there is a
company to manage when we manage a
business there is really a balance to
find between several types of interest
there is a business it exists because
that there are clients of customers or
users that’s still very important
to think of his interest in him him his
customer’s interest it’s always that he
is a better service
possible for the lowest price
possible
the interest of employees is to have
good working conditions and a
correct salary
I’ve already talked about it and the interest of
the company is that it lasts is
they last a long time
perennial that it works and that whatever
share is everyone’s interest
employees also need to
the business lasts a long time and
usually the customers also have
interest that lasts a long time and what
come where it comes rub where it’s
comes rub is that the interest
collective is not the sum of
individual interests
but the cooperative society she and she
is composed of people where we come from
always with a double cap
we have our individual interest as
that employees and then we interest
collective
you always have to switch from
one to another it rubs and sometimes it
rubbed hard and prince’s costume
charming he fell 1 I took one
but suddenly and so I am
asked was it really worth the
stroke
it’s been 16 years that I’m in this
box I was originally employed I am
became a partner I was delegate of
staff this is what defends
employees I participated in the board of
monitoring the supervisory board
is the one who checks that the game
respect the instructions given
by the national assembly seem and
general and today I am a manager
a real journey of schizophrenics I
went through all stages and well
after sixteen years I’m still
convinced of the interest of cooperation
in the company then it’s sometimes
difficult
sometimes there are shouting
sometimes it’s hard but like
I said it at the beginning it’s the way
that counts because we evolve we debate
we try it again sometimes there are
who leave we leave
and then and then in fact all along
experiment with things we try to
new things and that this exciting of
see his own thinking evolve his own
notice evolved
it’s pleasant it’s rewarding too
not stay like that all the time on
its positions
from beginning to end no one
does the business she’s alive like
we what and then we have an experience too
beautiful things have crossed
obstacles we have beautiful experiences on
is driven by common practices and that
it’s pleasant it’s rewarding
solidarity also because we are a
team where we can count on each
others and finally it was a lot to me
asked about what is a democracy
because at the beginning simply
hassles when the cooperative has been
created we reproduced what we knew
democratic practices so we have
votes
we made boots the boxes you
you’re in the habit of actually going
not count maybe but when we do
a vote in an election makes a vote
in fact binary one chooses yes or no
for referendums or have chosen a
candidate for failing others c 1 0 and in
does there are other voting systems on
do not know them well because they are
not really used there are plenty of them
others I will introduce you 3
you will see that according to the system of
vote chosen and we do not have the same
result
the ranking vote is just saying
here are four choices what are we
will eat this noon there are four choices
which comes first which comes in
second the Kenyan third decline and
not necessarily the one with the most
times the first result that wins that
can be the one who has the most
second for example the vote by
point distribution is when we have
10 points each one is distributed as
we want there it’s the same as people who
will put ten points all their points
on one side and the others who go
sent away because by order of
preference
again we have a different result on
value vote is to say among the
choices that are offered to me
what I really do not want to do but
minus two points what I want
a lot I like and more points and
then the rest is divided again with
this system there we still have another
result
you will find you find it is
easy to find
it’s interesting to see that finally
the the decision process makes that good
we get different results
so it’s important to choose your mode
of decision and actually in when we
works on processes
yes what did I mean by that again
Once there I introduced you that
voting methods
it means that there are also others
tools that exist to come to this
that we call consensus where
finally we come to a solution
acceptable for everyone it’s
even more laborious it takes more than
time but it’s also interesting
that to tell you that it’s important to
think about how we organize
everywhere we are everywhere we live in our
family in our families at the place of
job
include people with what they are
whatever their origin their kind
their sexual orientation if they are
disabled or not really handicapped from
to consider that people are
actors and that they can contribute to
the added value of the company
that’s important I do not think the
society needs sheep that
don’ts and who do yes yes I think
that society needs strong forces
of people with intelligences who pro
who make proposals
so I invite you to develop your
critical thinking because it allows you
to really question your
prejudices your representations to
develop your ability
of empathy because that allows
to welcome everyone and then ask
often you this question what’s
serves
I do what I produce what
what makes sense to you that’s a
business model canvas this is what we
does when we create a business for
know what product is produced
has for some clients etc in
the social and solidarity economy the most
important is what is below
finally what I produce what it
serves is there going to be a profit
environmental social to society
that’s it and that it can really help
to rest the important center between
between people exercise your free
referee ask questions go
look for alternatives confront
you to differences to divergences
that’s how it’s growing
your curiosity and the difference and years
and confronting your views that
you will be an actor of your life after
all tomorrow can belong to you
you just have to take it here
thank you
