Exploring new concepts, trends and uses. Like crossing ideas to create new ones.

Hello! I work for the Orange-ftgroup in France. My job is to imagine new products and services and find new business fields for the Strategic Marketing Division in the "explocentre" (for exploration center). So I'm an "Explorer" of new concepts and ideas :).
Put together marketing guys, design talents, sociologists, ingenieers... Put trends studies and creativity sessions in the shaker, put a lot (lot!) of customers feedbacks, and then shake it... You get a very smart project and 12 months to achieve it !
