Help your teams absorb shocks, navigate crises, and bounce back faster
Resilience: the Skill of the Century
Transformation, restructuring, resource constraints, critical incidents, media crises, or climate hazards: in moments like these, the organization doesn’t have one problem. Issues stack up, weak signals get missed, and the organization fragments precisely when it needs to hold together.
The Sphere of Resilience isn’t an ordinary talk—it’s a “wake-up” experience where resilience becomes visible and tangible. In 60 minutes, managers and teams experience from the inside what stabilizes or destabilizes a system: direction, coordination, information flow, collective energy.
Equipped with illuminated wristbands and guided by inspiring narratives, participants act in real time on a sphere projected on screen: links form, imbalances appear, then get corrected.
We observe, we test, we adjust—together.
The goal: establish shared reference points to stay united when things shake, and regain momentum faster—with confidence.
Inspiration
True stories and striking visuals tailored to your managers and teams to understand how groups hold up (or break down) under uncertainty. We put words on what’s invisible: mental load, biases, tunnel vision—and on the levers that change everything: direction, roles, rituals, priorities, recovery.
Experimentation
The wristbands light up by role: each person activates theirs by raising an arm. The Sphere responds instantly on screen and shows what the group is producing: cohesion, fragmentation, acceleration, bottlenecks… A constraint-based cooperation scenario that makes the group’s balance tangible and felt.
CentraleSupélec engineer and startup executive, Dorian learned resilience where it is measured in decisions and execution. As a founder and CTO, he led R&D, product, operations, and management, with international rollout, patents, and multiple awards. He understands the realities of business leaders and the expectations of large enterprises: hold a course, make fast calls, deliver—without throwing the team out of alignment.
Climate risk specialist, he works on shocks that put a system under strain (floods, wildfires, droughts, coastal flooding, heatwaves, cascading impacts). And when pressure rises, he focuses on the decisive factor: the human side—cognitive overload, biases, coordination, trust, prioritization, fatigue—which he supports to build an embodied, clear-eyed, collective resilience.
Pioneer of immersive experiences and international keynote speaker, Dorian designs formats that don’t just inform: they let people live, feel, and understand in order to turn awareness into momentum for action. More than 30,000 people have experienced his work, from the G7 to CAC40 companies.

How the conference unfolds
Prologue
Let’s start with a step to the side. An image, a story, a tipping point… and one simple question: what allows a system to hold when the unexpected hits? The Sphere lights up, the wristbands enter the stage: here, we don’t just “talk” about resilience—we set it in motion.
Feel it to understand it
The keynote moves forward in short sequences: a striking story → an interaction → a quick debrief. The wristbands assign roles, the Sphere responds live, and the group sees its own dynamics emerge: balance, diversity, direction, cohesion, shock, rebuilding. Each interaction isn’t a “vote”—it’s hands-on practice in adjusting without splitting apart.
Turn the wake-up call into shared reference points
We close the experience by making sense of what just emerged. The conclusion puts simple words on what matters most: what weakens a group under pressure, what strengthens it, and the actionable takeaways to bring back with you. The goal: leave with a shared grammar to act starting tomorrow—stay together, correct fast, protect your energy, bounce back.
Who is this resilience conference for?
For executive leadership, the executive committee, managers—and, depending on the context, mixed teams. The experience is especially valuable when the organization is going through a transformation, restructuring, a period of heightened risk, or a chain of surprises—when unity, coordination, and initiative make all the difference.
What actually happens during the session?
As soon as they arrive, each participant receives a light-up wristband. The conference then unfolds in plenary through a series of short, dynamic sequences: a brief story to set a reference point, a simple wristband interaction, then a quick debrief to turn what was just experienced into the right reflexes. The Sphere is a virtual animation that reacts live on screen to the group’s balance: you see the impact of choices, you adjust, and the team leaves with a shared language.
What technical setup is required?
A standard AV setup is enough: a projector or a screen, plus sound. We bring the rest: wristbands, a sensor, and a control computer. We can connect to your system based on your constraints (HDMI, VGA, mini-jack, USB-C).
Is it a “participatory” conference or an activity?
It’s an immersive conference: the pace stays controlled, the setting is comfortable, but the audience isn’t just watching. Participation is simple (a gesture) and guided. The goal isn’t to “play a game,” but to spark a collective wake-up call and make visible dynamics that are usually invisible.
What topics are covered, specifically?
We put words on what teams experience when things get rough: mental load, biases, tunnel vision, escalations, silos, fatigue, loss of direction. And above all on what changes the trajectory: clear direction, useful roles, priorities, coordination rituals, recovery, relationship quality, and reading weak signals.
Can the content be adapted to our context (transformation, risk, crisis…)?
Yes. The core thread stays the same, but the examples and framing can be tailored to your reality: industry, type of transformation, risk challenges, management culture. The goal is for participants to recognize themselves—without turning it into an audit or a “therapy session.” As a conclusion, you can also put questions to participants to capture how things look at that moment.
How many participants can you accommodate?
From 30 to 1,000+ participants—the only limit is the room size. The setup is designed to keep the experience clear and engaging even at large scale, while staying smooth to run for the organization.
What do managers and teams take away “the next day”?
A shared language and simple reference points for staying aligned under pressure: clarify direction, distribute roles, avoid escalations, protect collective energy, and adjust quickly without splitting apart. The most visible benefit is smoother execution when constraints rise.
