They dive into the intricacies of ABT's performances, the innovations under Jaffe's leadership, and the exciting future of ballet.Reflections on the Spring SeasonSusan Jaffe begins by reflecting on the challenges and triumphs of ABT's spring season. Originally set for mid-April at the Metropolitan Opera House, a shift pushed performances into summer, prompting concerns about audience engagement. Despite these challenges, ABT exceeded attendance expectations, experiencing what Susan coined as “Timothée Chalamet moments” – standing ovations each night. With the support of Executive Director Barry Hughson, the company navigated these changes with finesse, focusing on enriching its artistic offerings while maintaining strong ticket sales.Previewing the Met Season: New Approaches and Old FavoritesAs the discussion shifts to upcoming performances at the Metropolitan Opera House, Susan announces a packed lineup featuring two weeks of "Swan Lake", George Cranko's emotionally rich "Onegin", and a refreshed "Don Quixote" (Don Q). The conversation reveals how adjustments to the season were strategically planned to cater to both New York residents and the influx of summer tourists.Don Quixote Gets a RefreshThe process behind updating "Don Quixote" was intricate, with Susan focusing on tightening storytelling, enhancing choreography, and making selective cuts to maintain audience engagement. Her collaboration with renowned figures such as Susan Jones and forthcoming music director David LaMarche highlights a commitment to retaining the piece's essence while injecting fresh energy.Conclusion: An Invitation to Experience the MagicThe episode closes with an invitation from Susan Jaffe for audiences to experience the magic of ABT's upcoming performances. With refreshed classics and bold new directions, each ballet is crafted to captivate and inspire. Whether a longtime fan or a newcomer, ABT's vibrant season promises unforgettable experiences for all.Join the ConversationListen to the full episode for a detailed exploration of ABT's artistic journey.

In this episode of the Dean's Chat Learning Series, Dr. Johanna Richey welcomes podiatric dermatology expert Dr. Leland Jaffe for an in-depth discussion on diagnostic miscues, biopsy decision-making, and the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis in podiatric medicine. Drawing from his experience teaching dermatology and working extensively in wound care, Dr. Jaffe shares how his threshold for performing biopsies has significantly lowered over the years as he recognized how many serious conditions can masquerade as common foot and ankle pathology.The conversation explores how chronic wounds, nail disorders, inflammatory skin conditions, and even routine “ingrown toenails” can occasionally hide malignancies or autoimmune disease. Dr. Jaffe emphasizes that when a patient fails to improve with appropriate standard-of-care treatment, clinicians must pause and ask, “What am I missing?” rather than simply repeating unsuccessful therapies. Through several compelling clinical examples, including wounds later diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and autoimmune-mediated lesions, he highlights how biopsy can completely alter a patient's treatment trajectory and, in some cases, save lives.Dr. Jaffe also provides practical insight into biopsy technique selection, discussing when he prefers punch biopsies, shave biopsies, or excisional biopsies depending on the suspected diagnosis. He explains why inflammatory conditions often require full-thickness punch biopsies, while suspected melanomas may warrant more nuanced excisional approaches to ensure accurate staging. Importantly, he reassures clinicians that “some biopsy is better than no biopsy,” encouraging providers not to let uncertainty or fear prevent them from obtaining tissue when something feels atypical.A major theme throughout the episode is collaboration. Dr. Jaffe and Dr. Richey discuss the value of working closely with dermatopathologists, oncologists, dermatologists, and wound care specialists to optimize patient outcomes. They stress that diagnosing a concerning lesion is not the end of the clinician's role, but rather the beginning of a team-based process that benefits both patients and providers.#podiatry #podiatricmedicine #podiatricdermatology#skincancerawarenessmonth #skincancerawareness #skincancer #melanoma #melanomaawareness#PICA #BakoDx
Alain Goudey est directeur de l’innovation numérique à Neoma Business School et co-auteur d’une étude académique à comité de lecture sur l’IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur. Cette enquête porte sur la façon dont les étudiants, les enseignants et les doyens perçoivent la légitimité de l’IA générative dans les établissements français de formation au management. Ses conclusions sont à la fois rassurantes et dérangeantes. Enseignement supérieur et IA générative : légitimité, paresse intellectuelle et la fin de l’examen traditionnel Le portrait qui se dégage d’une étude sur l’IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur évoque ces attractions foraines qu’on appelle palais des glaces, où chaque partie prenante voit un problème différent et cherche une solution qui lui est propre. Toutes les illustrations de cet article ont été réalisées avec Midjourney. Lorsqu’Alain Goudey et ses collègues ont commencé à enquêter sur l’enseignement supérieur français début 2024, ils ne cherchaient pas à trancher le débat sur l’IA générative bonne ou mauvaise. Ils voulaient comprendre quelque chose de plus précis : comment le même outil pouvait être simultanément valorisé, redouté, accepté et dénoncé, parfois par la même personne. Leur étude, publiée dans Communications of the Association for Information Systems (CAIS), s’appuie sur des enquêtes menées auprès de 668 étudiants, 204 enseignants et 29 directeurs d’établissement (les « deans » du système anglo-saxon), complétées par 22 entretiens approfondis avec des enseignants ayant adopté l’IA en avance de phase. Ce qui en ressort évoque ces attractions foraines qu’on appelle palais des glaces : chaque partie prenante voit un problème différent et cherche une solution qui lui est propre. Le point de départ est un chiffre qui aurait dû clore le débat. Entre 80 et 92 % des étudiants, selon l’établissement, utilisent déjà des outils d’IA générative dans leur travail universitaire. Ce chiffre a été atteint en à peine dix-huit mois après le lancement public de ChatGPT. L’outil n’a pas attendu l’autorisation des institutions. Il s’est déployé de lui-même. Et dans bien des cas, l’enseignement supérieur est encore en train de rédiger sa note de cadrage. Le piège de la productivité Alain met le doigt sur le fond du sujet d’emblée. Les étudiants apprécient l’IA générative pour sa rapidité, sa capacité à générer des idées et son rôle d’appui à l’apprentissage. Mais ils craignent aussi, et leurs établissements avec eux, ce que les chercheurs appellent la « paresse métacognitive » : l’érosion progressive de l’effort cognitif qui produit un apprentissage réel. Pour lui, ce n’est pas une contradiction à résoudre, c’est un défi de conception pédagogique. « La résolution de ce problème passe par la conception des cours, où il faut réintroduire délibérément l’effort cognitif et la réflexion dans l’usage de l’IA générative en tant qu’outil, et non en tant que substitut à la cognition humaine ». Un problème de posture Le problème n’est pas la technologie, mais la posture que l’utilisateur adopte face à elle. Celui qui formule ce qu’Alain appelle une « requête naïve » obtient une réponse naïve : bien mise en forme, parfaitement médiocre. L’outil est capable de bien davantage, à condition que l’utilisateur apporte suffisamment de connaissances métier et d’esprit critique à l’échange. « Il faut cultiver sa propre réflexion plutôt que de déléguer l’ensemble du processus à la machine ». C’est, je l’ai souligné durant notre entretien, moins une question de prompt engineering que de discipline intellectuelle de base : savoir interroger la question avant de la poser. Les départements de philosophie enseignent cela depuis des siècles, sans se soucier de la mode. IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur : les enseignants doivent former les étudiants aux outils d’IA générative et à leurs limites. Ils enseignent aussi l’Odyssée d’Homère et Frankenstein de Shelley dans le cadre du cursus de management. Image réalisée avec Midjourney. Une autre vision de la culture numérique Cette observation a conduit Alain à formuler une vision de la culture numérique qui tranche avec ce qu’on entend généralement. Le débat ne porte pas seulement sur la maîtrise technique des outils, il porte autant sur la connaissance suffisante du sujet pour juger si le résultat produit a une quelconque valeur. L’IA générative ne remplace pas l’expertise : elle amplifie celle que l’utilisateur porte déjà en lui. Ce qui soulève une question dérangeante pour les établissements qui forment des diplômés sans leur donner l’occasion de développer cette expertise. À Neoma, la réponse est délibérément double. Les enseignants forment les étudiants aux outils d’IA générative et à leurs limites. Ils enseignent aussi l’Odyssée d’Homère et Frankenstein de Shelley dans le cadre du cursus de management. L’objectif n’est pas l’enrichissement culturel pour lui-même : il s’agit de donner aux étudiants des modèles mentaux pour se représenter ce que peut être le leadership, ou ce qui arrive quand une création échappe aux intentions de son créateur. Alain appelle cela « construire une infrastructure cognitive » : « Nous devons permettre aux étudiants d’appréhender le monde à travers différents modèles, différents types de processus et cadres théoriques, afin de développer une véritable pensée critique sur ce que produit l’IA ». Une école de management qui fait l’impasse sur ces fondements produit des diplômés capables de manier l’outil, mais incapables d’en évaluer les résultats. Des examens qui mesuraient la mauvaise chose C’est dans le domaine de l’évaluation que le problème apparaît le plus clairement. Un enseignant capable de produire un examen de deux heures en trois minutes fait face à des étudiants qui peuvent y répondre en un temps tout aussi court. La valeur de diagnostic de l’exercice s’est ainsi évaporée. « Si ChatGPT ou n’importe quel outil d’IA générative peut réussir un examen, il faut repenser cet examen ». La réponse d’Alain n’est pas un retour au papier-crayon, même s’il reconnaît que l’évaluation écrite en présentiel reste la solution la plus simple à portée de main. Si un outil d’IA générative peut réussir un examen, il faut repenser cet examen. La valeur diagnostique de l’exercice traditionnel a disparu. Image réalisée avec Midjourney. Sa réponse est structurelle : évaluer les compétences tout au long du cours plutôt que de mesurer l’acquisition de contenus en fin de parcours, via des évaluations plus fréquentes et à moindres enjeux. Une solution ? La résolution de problèmes en situation réelle, l’évaluation par le processus et les examens oraux en présentiel préservent une partie de ce que l’examen traditionnel était censé mesurer. Mais Alain est honnête sur les limites : aucun format n’est totalement à l’abri. Les modèles d’IA évoluent trop vite pour qu’une solution unique reste valable durablement. La bonne réponse n’est pas de trouver une formule définitive, mais de considérer la refonte des évaluations comme un travail permanent. La conclusion de l’article va plus loin : ce que l’enseignement supérieur vend réellement devra peut-être changer. Si des contenus peuvent être récupérés, synthétisés et restitués à coût quasi nul par un outil accessible à quiconque dispose d’un navigateur, un diplôme qui certifie la maîtrise de ces contenus certifie quelque chose dont la valeur s’érode. Ce qui résiste à cette érosion, ce sont les compétences que l’IA ne peut pas encore reproduire de façon crédible : le jugement contextuel, le raisonnement éthique, la capacité à construire des cadres d’analyse et à les confronter à la réalité. C’est aussi, en substance, la manière dont j’aborde l’enseignement de l’IA, que ce soit avec des étudiants d’écoles d’ingénieurs ou de commerce, notamment dans le cadre de mon cours à Omnes Education (qui en est désormais à sa quatrième année consécutive). IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur : une institution fragmentée La réponse institutionnelle de l’enseignement supérieur à l’IA générative a été, pour le dire avec ménagement, inégale. Sciences Po a interdit ChatGPT en janvier 2023, avant de changer d’avis. Trente-cinq universités publiques françaises se sont associées à Mistral AI. Les établissements élaborent une charte nationale. Neoma, où Alain est directeur de l’innovation numérique, a été l’une des premières écoles de commerce françaises à formaliser son approche, en lançant un programme de formation des enseignants, du personnel et des étudiants autour d’un socle commun initial, avant de passer à des ateliers spécialisés sur la conception des cursus, l’évaluation et la refonte des expériences d’apprentissage. Ce que la recherche révèle, c’est que cette activité institutionnelle ne résout pas un problème unique. Trois groupes de parties prenantes tentent chacun de résoudre leur propre version du problème sous le même intitulé. Les étudiants veulent des règles et une formation à la culture de l’IA. De leur côté, les enseignants développent leurs propres approches pédagogiques via des ateliers entre pairs. Les doyens définissent les politiques et négocient les infrastructures souveraines. Les préoccupations s’échelonnent dans une direction prévisible : la performance académique individuelle pour les étudiants, l’intégrité des évaluations pour les enseignants, la réputation institutionnelle pour les doyens. Ces trois groupes ne sont pas toujours en dialogue. L’objectif, tel que Neoma l’a mis en pratique, est de réunir les trois publics autour de la technologie sous un cadrage partagé, suffisamment tôt pour qu’aucun groupe ne puisse s’enfermer dans une position rendant toute coordination ultérieure impossible. La question de l’équité La question de l’équité traverse ces trois niveaux. L’accès aux modèles d’IA haut de gamme n’est pas gratuit. Lorsque j’ai soulevé la question de l’écart entre les abonnements de base et les offres professionnelles, la réponse d’Alain est révélatrice : le problème d’infrastructure est réel, mais secondaire. « La plus grande inégalité ne porte pas sur l’accès à l’outil, mais sur la capacité à l’utiliser correctement ». À Neoma, le partenariat institutionnel avec Mistral donne à tous les étudiants accès à un outil de niveau professionnel. Ce que montrent les données, même à accès égal, c’est un fossé important entre les étudiants qui utilisent l’IA générative pour obtenir la réponse la plus rapide possible et ceux qui s’en servent pour approfondir leur réflexion. Ce fossé ne se comble pas par l’égalisation des abonnements. Même si je partage l’essentiel de ce qu’Alain avance, je pense que la hausse des prix des modèles haut de gamme est prévisible. Elle tient à l’écart entre les investissements consentis et les retours commerciaux obtenus. Cela conduira quasi inévitablement à une fracture économique entre ceux qui ont les moyens et ceux qui ne les ont pas. Il suffit de regarder la grille tarifaire de Claude d’Anthropic pour s’en convaincre. Au-delà du modèle Pro, très limité en termes d’usage de tokens, notamment si l’on utilise le modèle Opus 4.6 plus sophistiqué, les tarifs atteignent déjà 1 200 € par an. Ce n’est pas une somme négligeable, d’autant plus préoccupante à l’heure où Claude s’impose rapidement comme la référence pour les utilisateurs soucieux de qualité. Quel sera l’impact des prix vertigineux de l’IA générative sur l’enseignement supérieur ? Le problème des « héros de l’IA » L’une des formulations les plus frappantes qui ressort des travaux d’Alain est ce qu’il appelle le phénomène des « héros de l’IA ». Dans les établissements d’enseignement supérieur français, certains enseignants font un travail pédagogique excellent et innovant avec l’IA générative : ils conçoivent de nouveaux formats d’évaluation, animent des ateliers, repensent des modules entiers autour de l’apprentissage augmenté par l’IA. Ils produisent des résultats. Et ils le font en grande partie seuls, sans reconnaissance institutionnelle, sans incitations de carrière, sans aucun mécanisme pour partager ce qu’ils ont appris. Les incitations sont mal calibrées. Dans l’enseignement supérieur, c’est la production de recherche qui est récompensée, pas la conception pédagogique, du moins pas de la même façon. Un enseignant pionnier qui repense entièrement un programme autour des compétences liées à l’IA générative recevra peut-être moins de reconnaissance professionnelle qu’un collègue qui publie un seul article dans une revue. « Nous devons aider tous ces héros de l’IA à obtenir davantage de considération pour l’innovation pédagogique, ce qui n’est pas nécessairement le cas par défaut dans l’enseignement supérieur ». Le risque, si rien n’est fait, est l’émergence d’un système à deux vitesses : une minorité d’enseignants à l’aise avec le numérique qui tirent leurs étudiants vers l’avant, tandis que la majorité reste à la traîne, ni formée ni encouragée à s’engager. L’innovation de terrain est réelle et précieuse. Sans structures institutionnelles pour la reconnaître, la valoriser et la reproduire, elle reste une exception plutôt qu’un modèle. IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur : quand la légitimité s’effrite L’armature théorique de l’étude repose sur le modèle triadique de légitimité de Suchman, qui distingue la légitimité pragmatique (l’outil sert-il mes intérêts ?), la légitimité morale (est-il conforme à mes valeurs ?) et la légitimité cognitive (est-il tenu pour acquis dans la façon dont les choses fonctionnent ?). Ce modèle a été conçu pour des technologies adoptées progressivement. L’IA générative l’a mis à l’épreuve dans des conditions d’adoption massive quasi instantanée. Alain et ses co-auteurs n’y voient pas une raison de rejeter le cadre, mais une occasion de l’enrichir : ils introduisent un continuum légitimité-illégitimité plutôt qu’une simple alternative binaire. Ce que révèlent les étudiants Le résultat qu’Alain décrit comme l’asymétrie la plus notable dans les données concerne la dimension morale chez les étudiants. Les plus grands utilisateurs d’IA générative n’accordent aucune légitimité morale à ces outils dans un contexte académique. Ils les associent, avec une forte fréquence, à la triche, au plagiat, à la dévaluation des diplômes et à l’injustice. Ils utilisent un outil qu’ils considèrent comme éthiquement compromis. Ce n’est manifestement pas tenable. Sur ce point, Alain a une opinion très différente. « Utiliser l’IA générative ne constitue pas nécessairement de la triche. Cela dépend entièrement de la façon dont on l’utilise et à quelle fin ». L’échec institutionnel, selon lui, tient au fait que les établissements n’ont pas fait suffisamment pour modifier la perception que les étudiants ont de la technologie. Ce que révèlent les enseignants Les enseignants offrent un tableau plus complet. Les six dimensions de légitimité et d’illégitimité sont présentes dans leurs réponses. Ils reconnaissent l’utilité de ces outils tout en mettant en doute leur fiabilité, les jugent professionnellement nécessaires tout en trouvant leur architecture opaque, et invoquent leur potentiel inclusif tout en signalant la paresse intellectuelle et l’érosion de la pensée critique comme leur préoccupation la plus fréquemment citée : 58 occurrences dans le corpus qualitatif. Ce que révèlent les directions pédagogiques Pour les directions de ces institutions, le thème dominant est stratégique. La pression concurrentielle, la crainte de se laisser distancer et les gains d’efficacité dans les flux administratifs génèrent une légitimité pragmatique et cognitive. Ce qui introduit de l’illégitimité, ce sont les risques liés à la gouvernance : protection des données, surconfiance dans les résultats produits par l’IA, menace pour l’intégrité des évaluations à l’échelle institutionnelle. Le mouvement théorique le plus significatif de l’article consiste à traiter l’illégitimité comme une catégorie analytique à part entière, et non comme la simple absence de légitimité. L’argument, emprunté à la théorie du changement, est que les signaux d’illégitimité doivent être lus comme des signaux d’alerte qui appellent une réaction rapide. Un établissement qui interprète le malaise moral des étudiants vis-à-vis de l’IA générative comme un simple problème de communication passe à côté du signal. Ce malaise dit quelque chose sur ce que le cursus enseigne réellement, et sur ce que l’évaluation mesure effectivement. Lorsque les étudiants associent l’IA générative à la triche, à l’injustice et à la dévaluation des diplômes, ils ne sont pas irrationnels. Ils se trouvent dans les phases de déni et de résistance du modèle de changement de Scott et Jaffe. Les établissements ne peuvent pas se contenter d’étouffer ce signal : ils doivent traiter ce qu’il révèle. Source : adapté de Scott & Jaffe, « Survive and Thrive in Times of Change », tracé avec Claude. Voir : expertprogrammanagement.com/2018/05/scott-and-jaffe-change-model/ France, souveraineté et course mondiale Le contexte français ajoute une couche de complexité que la recherche saisit avec précision statistique et nuance qualitative. Sur le plan quantitatif, l’analyse n’a révélé aucune différence statistiquement significative dans la dynamique d’adoption de l’IA générative entre les universités publiques et les écoles de commerce. Sur le plan qualitatif, les choses diffèrent. Les écoles de commerce évoluant dans un marché très concurrentiel, ont avancé plus vite. Les universités publiques se sont mobilisées de façon plus systématique autour de la gouvernance, de la souveraineté et des infrastructures collectives, comme en témoigne l’alliance de 35 établissements avec Mistral AI et EdTech France. Alain n’y voit pas une contradiction, mais une division du travail qui, bien gérée, pourrait constituer un véritable atout. « Nous devons jouer collectif, parce que la compétition est mondiale ». La question de l’infrastructure d’IA souveraine, notamment la fédération ILaaS et le partenariat du ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur avec Mistral, déployé dans 26 universités pilotes depuis septembre 2025, n’est pas simplement symbolique. Il s’agit de permettre aux établissements français d’exploiter, de gouverner et d’adapter leurs outils d’IA sans dépendance envers des fournisseurs dont la tarification, les conditions et les capacités peuvent évoluer à tout moment. Encore faut-il que l’effet d’entraînement vers tel ou tel outil ne devienne pas trop fort. En ce moment, il est difficile de résister à l’envie d’utiliser Claude d’Anthropic quand tout le monde loue la qualité de son code et de ses résultats. Et le reste du monde ? La comparaison internationale est difficile à ignorer. Singapour, la Corée du Sud et les Émirats arabes unis intègrent la maîtrise de l’IA comme compétence nationale fondamentale dès le secondaire. Le regard d’Alain est direct : les décideurs publics français ne sont pas encore suffisamment préparés à l’ampleur de ce qui vient. « Avoir moins de personnes compétentes en IA que dans d’autres parties du monde est très dangereux pour notre économie et pour l’ensemble de nos organisations ». Le réflexe réglementaire, profondément ancré dans la culture politique européenne, n’est pas sans fondement. Prendre le temps de réguler de façon responsable a de la valeur. Mais cela ne peut pas se substituer à la rapidité d’adoption au niveau des compétences et des cursus. La question qui encadre la recherche L’entretien se termine, comme il se doit, par la méta-question : qu’est-ce que cela signifie d’étudier la légitimité de l’IA générative en utilisant l’IA générative ? L’équipe d’Alain a utilisé ChatGPT, Perplexity, NotebookLM et OpenAI O3 dans le processus de recherche, et l’a indiqué explicitement dans la déclaration d’utilisation de l’article. Sa réponse à la question des biais est prudente. Chaque étape de l’analyse a impliqué un codeur humain. L’équipe a confronté le codage assisté par IA à une analyse indépendante préalable des mêmes données, réalisée pour un rapport institutionnel français, puis comparé les deux séries. « Il faut être transparent sur l’usage que l’on fait de ces outils, pour quel objectif, à chaque étape ». Cette déclaration était un choix délibéré, précisément parce que le sujet de l’article rendait toute autre approche intenable. Utiliser l’IA pour améliorer la qualité d’un texte et l’utiliser pour en générer un que l’on présente ensuite comme le sien sont deux choses différentes. Techniquement, c’est une question de degré. Dans les faits, c’est la différence entre un travail assumé et une abdication. L’équipe d’Alain a su naviguer entre les deux pour publier. La plupart des étudiants de son corpus cherchent encore à tracer cette ligne, dans un environnement où personne ne l’a clairement expliquée et où les outils d’évaluation n’ont pas encore été reconstruits pour lui donner du sens. Trois recommandations, une par partie prenante Lorsqu’on lui a demandé une recommandation concrète par groupe de parties prenantes, les réponses d’Alain ont été sans ambiguïté. Pour les étudiants : associer la culture technique de l’IA, comprendre le fonctionnement des outils et connaître leurs modes de défaillance, à une réflexion critique et éthique authentique sur les résultats produits. Ni l’une ni l’autre de ces dimensions ne suffit seule. Un étudiant capable de formuler des requêtes avec fluidité mais incapable d’évaluer le résultat n’a rien appris d’utile. Pour les enseignants : ces enseignants pionniers, que lui-même appelle les « héros de l’IA », ne peuvent pas être laissés à opérer seuls. Les établissements doivent créer les conditions du partage des bonnes pratiques au sein de la communauté enseignante, et accorder à l’innovation pédagogique la reconnaissance professionnelle qui lui fait actuellement défaut. Un enseignant qui repense de fond en comble son dispositif d’évaluation mérite au moins autant de crédit institutionnel qu’un collègue qui soumet une communication à un colloque. Pour les dirigeants institutionnels : un cadre politique à plusieurs niveaux n’est pas une option. Les étudiants, les enseignants et le personnel administratif n’abordent pas l’IA générative depuis le même angle, et une politique unique imposée de haut en bas ne satisfera aucun d’eux. La direction doit gérer ces trois dimensions en même temps, et ouvrir un dialogue véritable entre les groupes avant qu’une crise ne force la main. « Les doyens doivent penser à toutes ces dimensions en même temps, et c’est là la partie difficile de l’histoire autour de l’intelligence artificielle ». Des trois niveaux, Alain identifie le niveau institutionnel comme le plus urgent. Les étudiants et les enseignants s’adaptent déjà, imparfaitement, en temps réel. Les cadres institutionnels qui permettraient de donner un sens et une direction à ces adaptations restent, dans la plupart des cas, à construire. L’urgence n’est pas exagérée. La complexité non plus. Le défi d’intégrer l’IA générative de façon responsable dans l’enseignement supérieur est un défi qu’aucun établissement ne peut se permettre d’ignorer, ni de relever seul. LIRE LE DOCUMENT DE RECHERCHE SUR LE SITE CAIS Alain Goudey est professeur et directeur de l’innovation numérique à Neoma Business School. Il est co-auteur de « Legitimacy and Illegitimacy of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: Perceptions from the French Management Context », publié dans les Communications of the Association for Information Systems. The post IA générative dans l’enseignement supérieur, état des lieux appeared first on Marketing and Innovation.
Alain Goudey is Associate Dean for Digital Innovation at Neoma Business School and co-author of a peer-reviewed study on GenAI in Higher Education. The survey focused on how students, faculty, and deans perceive the legitimacy of generative AI in French management education. His findings are both reassuring and unsettling. GenAI in Higher Education, Legitimacy and Laziness, and the Exam That No Longer Makes Sense The picture that emerges from a study on GenAI in Higher Education is less a battlefield than a hall of mirrors, where every stakeholder sees a different problem and reaches for a different solution. All illustrations in text made with Midjourney When Alain Goudey and his colleagues began surveying French higher education in early 2024, they were not trying to settle the question of whether generative AI was good or bad. They were trying to understand something more precise: why the same tool could be simultaneously valued, feared, accepted, and denounced, sometimes by the same person in the same breath. Their study sits at the heart of what makes GenAI in higher education such a contested terrain. The resulting study, published in the Communications of the Association for Information Systems (CAIS), drew on surveys of 668 students, 204 faculty members, and 29 deans, completed by 22 in-depth interviews with early-adopter professors. The picture that emerges is less a battlefield than a hall of mirrors, where every stakeholder sees a different problem and reaches for a different solution. The starting point is a number that should have settled the debate. Between 80 and 92 per cent of students, depending on the institution surveyed, are already using GenAI tools in their academic work. ChatGPT's public release produced that figure within roughly 18 months. The tool did not wait for institutional permission. It deployed itself. And higher education is still, in many places, writing the policy. The productivity trap Alain identifies the central tension plainly. Students value GenAI for speed, idea generation, and study support. They also fear, and their institutions fear with them, what the research calls “metacognitive laziness”: the gradual erosion of the cognitive effort that produces real learning. He believes this is not a contradiction to resolve but a course architecture challenge. “The resolution of this problem lies in course design, where we need to deliberately reintroduce cognitive effort and reflection into GenAI as a tool, not as a replacement for human cognition.” The issue, as he puts it, is not the technology but the posture the user brings to it. Someone who submits what he calls a “naive prompt” receives a naive answer, smoothly formatted and perfectly mediocre. The tool is capable of something far more useful, if the user brings enough domain knowledge and critical intent to the conversation. “You have to nurture your own thinking process instead of delegating the whole process to the machine.” This is, as I noted during our conversation, less a matter of prompt engineering than of basic intellectual discipline: the capacity to question the question before asking it, something philosophy departments have been teaching for centuries under less fashionable names. GenAI in Higher Education: faculty should train students in GenAI tools and their limitations. They also teach Homer's Odyssey and Shelley's Frankenstein as part of the management curriculum. Image made with Midjourney That observation prompted Alain to make a point about AI literacy that differs from what is generally proffered. The debate is not simply about knowing how the tools work technically. It is, equally, about knowing enough about the subject matter to judge whether the output is any good. The observation that AI is most powerful in the hands of people who already know the business resonates here. GenAI does not replace expertise. It amplifies whatever expertise the user already brings. Which raises an uncomfortable question for institutions producing graduates who may never have had the chance to develop that expertise in the first place. At Neoma, the response has been deliberately dual. Faculty train students in GenAI tools and their limitations. They also teach Homer's Odyssey and Shelley's Frankenstein as part of the management curriculum. The goal is not cultural enrichment for its own sake. It is to give students mental models for envisioning what leadership looks like, or what happens when creation escapes the intentions of its creator. Alain describes this as “building cognitive infrastructure”: “We need students to be able to envision the world through different models, different kinds of processes and theoretical frameworks, in order to develop genuine critical thinking about what AI generates.” A degree in management that skips that foundation produces graduates who can operate the tool but cannot judge its output. Exams that assessed the wrong thing The structural challenge shows up most sharply when it comes to assessments. A professor who can produce a two-hour exam in three minutes is facing students who can answer that exam in equally little time. The diagnostic value of the exercise has vanished. “If ChatGPT or any GenAI tool can pass an exam, you need to redesign the exam.” Alain's prescription is not a retreat to pen and paper, though he acknowledges that supervised handwritten assessment is the simplest available defence. The structural challenge shows up most sharply when it comes to assessments. A professor in Higher Education who can produce a two-hour exam in three minutes with GenAI is facing students who can answer that exam in equally little time. The diagnostic value of the exercise has vanished. Image made with Midjourney His more substantive response is a structural shift. He believes one should refrain from just assessing content acquisition at the end of a course, favouring the assessment of competencies as the course progresses. This implies more frequent, lower-stakes evaluations embedded in the process itself. Live problem-solving, process-based assessment, and in-person oral examinations all preserve some of what the traditional exam was supposed to measure. The caveat he adds is honest: no format is fully immune. AI models are evolving too quickly for any single solution to remain adequate for any length of time. The appropriate response is not to find a permanent answer but to treat redesign as an ongoing practice. The deeper implication, which runs through the paper's conclusion, is that what higher education is actually selling may need to change. If content can be retrieved, synthesised, and presented at negligible cost by a tool available to anyone with a browser, the degree that certifies mastery of content is certifying something of diminishing value. What retains value are the competencies that AI cannot yet credibly replicate: contextual judgement, ethical reasoning, the ability to construct and test frameworks against reality. This, in essence, is also how I tend to approach AI teaching, be it with engineering or business school students, especially within the framework of my course at Omnes Education (now in its fourth consecutive year). GenAI in Higher Education: The Fragmented Institution Higher education's institutional response to GenAI in higher education has been, to put it gently, uneven. Sciences Po banned ChatGPT in January 2023, then changed its mind. Thirty-five French public universities have partnered with Mistral AI. Institutions are drafting a national charter. Neoma, where Alain is Associate Dean for Digital Innovation, was among the first French business schools to formalise its approach, launching a programme to train faculty, staff, and students with a shared initial curriculum before moving to dedicated workshops on curriculum design, assessment, and the redesign of learning experiences. What the research reveals is that this institutional activity is not solving a single problem. There are three different stakeholder groups each attempting to solve their own version of the problem under the same label. Students want rules and AI literacy training. Faculty are developing their own teaching approaches through peer-led workshops. Deans are setting policy and negotiating sovereign infrastructure. The concerns escalate in a predictable direction: individual academic performance for students, assessment integrity for faculty, institutional reputation for deans. They are not always in conversation with each other. Alain's framework for addressing this fragmentation involves working simultaneously at three levels: infrastructure, course design, and governance. What he advocates for, and what he argues Neoma attempted, is to bring all three audiences into contact with the technology under a shared framing, early enough that no single group can entrench itself in a position that makes later coordination impossible. The equity question The question of equity cuts across all three levels. Access to premium AI models is not free. When I raised the issue about the gap between basic and professional subscription tiers, Alain's response was characteristic: the infrastructure problem is real but secondary. “The biggest inequity is not about accessing the tool, but being able to use it in the right way.” At Neoma, the institutional partnership with Mistral provides all students with access to a professional-grade tool. What the data shows, even with equal access, is a large gap between students who use GenAI to get the fastest possible answer and those who use it to deepen their thinking, and that gap is not closed by equalising subscriptions. Even if I tend to agree with most of what Alain is stating, I do think that the rise of prices for premium models is predictable. This is due to the gap between investments and business returns. This will almost inevitably lead to an economic divide between the haves and the have-nots. Looking at Anthropic's Claude pricing structure is indeed revealing in that sense. Beyond the Pro model, which is very limited in token usage, especially if you use the more sophisticated Opus 4.6 model, prices already amount to €1,200 per annum. That is not a negligible sum, which is especially worrying at a time when Claude is rapidly becoming the norm for users who care about quality. What will be the impact of towering prices of GenAI on Higher Education? God only knows… The “AI heroes” problem One of the most striking formulations to emerge from Alain’s research is what he calls the “AI hero” phenomenon. Across French higher education institutions, there are faculty members doing excellent, innovative instructional work with GenAI, designing new assessment formats, running workshops, rethinking entire modules around AI-augmented learning. They produce results. And they do it largely alone, without institutional recognition, without career incentives, and without any mechanism for sharing what they have learned. The incentives are wrong. In higher education, research output is rewarded. Course design is not, or at least not in the same way. An “AI hero” who redesigns an entire programme around GenAI competencies may receive less professional recognition than a colleague who publishes a single journal article. “We need to help all these AI heroes to gain more consideration for educational innovation, which is not necessarily by design the case within higher education.” The risk, if this is not addressed, is a two-tier system: a minority of digitally confident faculty pulling their students forward, while the majority are left behind, neither trained nor incentivised to engage. The grassroots innovation is real and valuable. Without institutional structures to recognise, reward, and replicate it, it remains an exception rather than a model. GenAI in Higher Education, Where legitimacy breaks down The theoretical backbone of the study is Suchman's triadic model of legitimacy, which distinguishes between pragmatic legitimacy (does the tool serve my interests?), moral legitimacy (does it align with values I hold?), and cognitive legitimacy (is it taken for granted as part of how things work?). The model was built for technologies adopted gradually. GenAI tested it under conditions of near-instantaneous mass adoption, which Alain and his co-authors treat not as a reason to discard the framework but as an opportunity to extend it, introducing a legitimacy-illegitimacy continuum rather than treating it as a simple either/or. What students reveal The finding he describes as the most noticeable asymmetry in the dataset concerns the moral dimension among students. Students who are among the heaviest users of GenAI express no moral legitimacy for those tools in academic contexts. They associate them, at high frequency, with cheating, plagiarism, degree devaluation, and unfairness. They are using a tool they consider ethically compromised. This is plainly not sustainable. However, Alain's opinion diverges greatly. “Using GenAI is not necessarily cheating. It depends entirely on how it is used and for what purpose.” The institutional failure, in his view, is that institutions have not done enough to reframe how the technology is perceived by students. What faculty reveal Faculty present a more complete picture. All six dimensions of legitimacy and illegitimacy are present in their responses. Faculty recognise these tools as useful yet question their reliability, consider them professionally necessary while finding their black box architecture suspicious at best, and invoke their inclusive potential even as they flag intellectual laziness and the erosion of critical thinking as their highest-coded concern, at 58 occurrences in the qualitative dataset. What deans reveal For deans, the dominant theme is strategic. Competitive pressure, the fear of falling behind, and practical efficiency gains in administrative workflow all generate pragmatic and cognitive legitimacy. What introduces illegitimacy is governance risk: data protection, overconfidence in AI-generated results, and the threat to assessment integrity at institutional scale. The paper's most significant theoretical move is the treatment of illegitimacy as an analytic category in its own right, rather than simply the absence of legitimacy. The argument, borrowed from change management theory, is that illegitimacy signals should be read as early warnings requiring proactive response. An institution that treats student moral unease about GenAI as a communication failure misses the signal entirely. That unease is telling something about what its curriculum actually teaches, and what its assessment actually measures. When students associate GenAI with cheating, unfairness, and degree devaluation, they are not being irrational. They are in the Denial and Resistance phases of the Scott and Jaffe change model. These are illegitimacy signals in Suchman's sense: early warnings that the technology lacks moral legitimacy. Institutions must act on them, not suppress the signal, but address what it reveals. Source: adapted from Scott & Jaffe, “Survive and Thrive in Times of Change”, plotted with Claude. See: expertprogrammanagement.com/2018/05/scott-and-jaffe-change-model/ France, sovereignty, and the global race The French context adds a layer of complexity that the research captures with statistical precision and qualitative nuance. Quantitatively, the analysis found no statistically significant differences in GenAI adoption patterns between public universities and business schools. Qualitatively, the dynamic differs. Business schools, operating in a highly competitive market, have moved faster. Public universities have engaged more systematically around governance, sovereignty, and collective infrastructure, reflected in the alliance of 35 institutions with Mistral AI and EdTech France. Alain reads this not as a contradiction but as a division of labour that, if managed well, could represent a genuine asset. “We need to play collectively, because the competition is worldwide.” The sovereign AI infrastructure question, including the ILaaS federation and the French Ministry of Higher Education's partnership with Mistral rolling out across 26 pilot universities from September 2025, is not merely symbolic. It is an attempt to ensure that French institutions can operate, govern, and adapt their AI tools without dependency on providers whose pricing, terms, and capabilities are subject to change. This is only sustainable, however, as long as the peer pressure to use this or that tool, based on model performance, is not too strong. At the moment, it is hard to resist the urge to use Anthropic's Claude when everybody else is praising the quality of its code and results. The global comparison is difficult to ignore. Singapore, South Korea, and the UAE are embedding AI fluency as a core national competency from secondary education upward. Alain's view is direct: French public decision-makers are not yet adequately prepared for the scale of what is coming. “Having less AI-competent people than in other parts of the world is very dangerous for our economy and for all our organisations.” The regulatory instinct, which runs deep in European policy culture, is not wrong. Taking time to regulate responsibly has value. But it cannot be a substitute for speed of adoption at the level of skills and curriculum. The question that frames the research The interview ends, as it probably should, with the meta-question: what does it mean to study the legitimacy of GenAI using GenAI? Alain's team used ChatGPT, Perplexity, NotebookLM, and OpenAI O3 in the research process, and said so explicitly in the paper's disclosure statement. His answer to the bias question is careful. Every step of the analysis involved a human coder. Alain's team checked the AI-assisted coding against a prior independent analysis of the same data, conducted for a French institutional report. The team compared the two rounds. “You have to be transparent about your use of these tools, for what purpose, at each step.” The disclosure was a deliberate choice, precisely because the paper's subject made any other approach untenable. The line between using AI to improve the quality of writing and using it to generate writing you then present as your own is, technically, a matter of degree. In practice, it is the difference between a craft and an abdication. Alain's team navigated it carefully enough to publish. Most of the students in his dataset are still trying to locate that line, in an environment where nobody has explained it clearly and assessment instruments have not yet been rebuilt to make it matter. Three recommendations: one for each stakeholder When pressed for a concrete policy recommendation per stakeholder group, Alain’s answers were unambiguous. For students: combine technical AI literacy, understanding how the tools work and knowing their failure modes, with genuine critical and ethical thinking about the outputs they produce. Neither dimension alone is sufficient. A student who can prompt fluently but cannot evaluate the result has learned nothing useful. For faculty: the “AI heroes” cannot be left to operate alone. Institutions need to create the conditions for sharing best practices across the teaching community, and to give educational innovation the professional recognition it currently lacks. A faculty member redesigning assessment from the ground up deserves at least as much institutional credit as a colleague submitting a conference paper. For institutional leaders: a multi-level policy framework is not optional. Students, faculty, and administrative staff are not thinking about GenAI from the same vantage point, and a single top-down policy will satisfy none of them adequately. The task of leadership is to hold all three dimensions simultaneously, and to open genuine dialogue between groups before a crisis forces the issue. “Deans have to think about all these dimensions at the same time, and that’s the hard part of the story around artificial intelligence.” Of the three, Alain singles out the institutional level as the most urgent. Students and faculty are already adapting, imperfectly, in real time. The institutional frameworks that would give those adaptations coherence and direction are still, in most places, a work in progress. The urgency is not overstated. Neither is the complexity. The challenge of integrating GenAI in higher education responsibly is one that no institution can afford to ignore, or to solve alone.

From the author of Work Won't Love You Back, a stirring examination of how collective grief can ignite powerful change. Our era is one of significant and substantial loss, yet we barely have time to acknowledge it. The losses range from the personal grief of a single COVID death to the planetary disaster wrought by climate change, in an age of unraveling hopes and expectations, of dreams curtailed, of aspirations desiccated. This is capitalism's death phase. It has become clear that the cost of wealth creation for a few is enormous destruction for others, for the marginalized and the vulnerable but increasingly for all of us. At the same time, we are denied the means of mourning those futures that are being so brutally curtailed. At such a moment, taking the time to grieve is a political act. Sarah Jaffe shows how the act of public memorialization has become a radical statement, a vibrant response to loss, and a path to imagining a better world. When we are able to grieve well the ones we have lost, the causes they fought for, or the examples they bequeathed us, we are better prepared to fight for a transformed future. Sarah Jaffe is a journalist and labor reporter who writes about work, inequality, and social movements. Her work has appeared in major publications such as The Nation, The Washington Post, and The Guardian. Jaffe has long reported on labor struggles and worker organizing, including movements like Occupy Wall Street and the Fight for $15 campaign. She is also the author of Necessary Trouble and Work Won't Love you Back. She is co-host of the labor podcast Belabored.

What if inflammation and autoimmune conditions aren't problems to suppress, but signals that the body is struggling to repair? In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with Dr. J. Russell Jaffe, a pioneer in integrative medicine, to explore a fundamentally different lens on chronic illness. Drawing from decades of experience in molecular biology and clinical diagnostics, Dr. Jaffe explains why inflammation reflects a “repair deficit,” how chronic stress and elevated cortisol disrupt immune function, and why modern medicine often misses the deeper drivers of disease. The conversation also dives into environmental toxins, emotional trauma, and lifestyle patterns that quietly overwhelm the body, and how returning to simplicity, nature, and mindful living can restore resilience, vitality, and long-term health.Dr. J. Russell Jaffe, MD, PhD, CCN, is a pioneer in integrative medicine with over 40 years of experience in molecular biology and clinical diagnostics. After serving on the senior staff of the NIH and becoming board-certified in Clinical and Chemical Pathology, he shifted his focus toward root-cause, patient-centered care. As the founder of PERQUE Integrative Health and ELISA/ACT Biotechnologies, Dr. Jaffe has authored nearly 100 scientific articles and developed predictive biomarkers to identify underlying contributors to chronic illness. He is widely recognized for his philosophy of “Nature's pHarmacy,” emphasizing alkaline nutrition, immune repair, and sustainable wellness.Website: https://www.drrusselljaffe.comPERQUE Integrative Health: https://www.perque.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrRussellJaffeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrRussellJaffePODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

Send us Fan MailHi Everyone, Hope this finds you grounded and doing well in this chaotic time.In this episode, I speak with Vancouver lawyer, Paul Jaffe. Paul has been in practice for decades and offers great insight into the justice system in Canada. During Covid, he went up against BC Medical Officer, Bonnie Henry, when pubs could be open but not churches. He isn't afraid to speak his mind on a variety of other subjects such as the horrific ostrich cull or Jim Heller's defamation lawsuit for simply saying potential mass graves.Paul has been the head commissioner at the NCI, the National Citizen's Inquiry, several times now, asking pertinent questions to our well-being. I encourage you to check out this most extraordinary group, a citizen-led and citizen-funded effort that began first by examining Canada's response to COVID-19, and has gone on to other important topics that deeply affect us personally and as Canadians. Kelowna was the last city to hold this ongoing, multi-city event asking "Are Farmers Safe in Canada?" I spoke as an expert witness Edmonton with the theme "Are Children Safe in Canada?" on The Flexner Report of 1910 when it was in Edmonton. It is a great eyeopener of how people have experienced the traumas of Covid, the ostrich cull, human trafficking, farmer's injustices and so on.Their website is nationalcitizensinquiry.org. MY I:I WORK: (individual)I am now accepting new patients. I have a fifteen minute complimentary consultation to see if we are a match. I charge $150 per half hour. If you are wanting Classical Homeopathy that would take 3- half hours if you are a new patient. Previous patients, we can discuss time and a discount.WORKSHOP FOR ADDICTS and/or TRAUMA SURVIVORS:This group workshop will begin online soon.

In March 2025, the U.S. Department of Education began investigating dozens of colleges - including Harvard and Columbia - for possible violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act for their alleged failure to protect Jewish students from harassment and discrimination on campus. The administration threatened to withhold federal funding and many colleges struck deals to preserve their funding. Critics charged the administration with heavy-handed enforcement tactics that burdened academic freedom and free speech on campus. Join our panel of experts as they explore how these enforcement efforts have played out after one year and what we may expect in the future. Featuring: Prof. David D. Cole, Hon. George J.

Vladimir Jaffe is owner of Palace Imports and a board member of Israel Justice Organization. Vladimir Jaffe is a former Soviet citizen with a master's degree in chemical engineering. In the USSR, he was active in Jewish circles, dissident movements, and international media—at significant personal risk—and was interrogated at KGB headquarters in 1985. He emigrated to the United States in 1988 at the age of 29 and is now a successful American entrepreneur. Over the years, a new generation of Americans are favoring socialism with an awe of communism over capitalism. According to a published report: A recent Cato/YouGov survey conducted in March asked 2,000 American adults a range of questions about U.S. fiscal policy. The survey found that 62 percent of adults under age 30 expressed a favorable view of socialism, while just 38 percent held an unfavorable view. When asked, “Do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of Communism?”, 34 percent of respondents aged 18–29 answered “favorable,” with 66 percent answering “unfavorable.” Only 14 percent of total respondents held a favorable view of communism. Vladimir Jaffe is the owner of Palace Imports, a company specializing in solid wood furniture sourced from Africa, Europe, South America, and Mexico, sold online through retailers such as Macy's, Wayfair, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond and Overstock and others. Since becoming a U.S. citizen in 1993, Vladimir has remained politically active and is deeply involved in supporting Jewish organizations and initiatives. He is a board member of the Israel Justice Organization and a dedicated supporter of America's conservative movement and the vision articulated by President Donald Trump in advancing freedom and reforms based on the rule of law.

In Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone (Bold Type Books, 2021), Sarah Jaffe argues that modern culture encourages workers to see their jobs as a “labor of love.” This idea tells people that passion and dedication should motivate them more than pay or working conditions. Jaffe shows that this belief often allows employers to justify low wages, long hours, and poor treatment. Through stories of workers across many fields, such as teachers, domestic workers, nonprofit employees, artists, athletes, and tech workers, the book demonstrates how devotion to work is used to normalize exploitation. Jaffe calls for a reevaluation of the relationship between work, identity, and personal fulfillment, suggesting that workers should organize collectively and demand fair compensation and conditions instead of relying on passion alone. Sarah Jaffe is a journalist and labor reporter who writes about work, inequality, and social movements. Her work has appeared in major publications such as The Nation, The Washington Post, and The Guardian. Jaffe has long reported on labor struggles and worker organizing, including movements like Occupy Wall Street and the Fight for $15 campaign. She is also the author of Necessary Trouble and most recently From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in A World on Fire. She is co-host of the labor podcast Belabored. Her writing focuses on how economic systems shape everyday life and workers' experiences.

Send us Fan MailWhat does recovery actually mean? If you've ever measured your sobriety by days and wondered if there was more to it than that, this episode is for you.Matt sits down with Dr. Adi Jaffe — psychologist, neuroscientist, UCLA researcher, and author of The Abstinence Myth and Unhooked — for one of the most honest and wide-ranging conversations Sober Friends has ever had. Dr. Jaffe went from meth-addicted drug dealer with nine felonies to earning his PhD and building one of the most forward-thinking recovery programs available today. He knows what it feels like to be on both sides of this.This episode challenges some assumptions — including a few of Matt's own. They dig into why black-and-white thinking keeps people stuck, why shame is more dangerous than the substance itself, why the label "alcoholic" helps some people and hurts others, and why stopping drinking is not the same thing as getting better. They also find more common ground between Dr. Jaffe's approach and AA than you might expect.Whether you're in AA, tried AA and it didn't stick, or are just trying to figure out what recovery looks like for you — this one is worth your time.Find Dr. Adi Jaffe: Website: https://www.adijaffe.com The Abstinence Myth: http://www.theabstinencemyth.com Unhooked: https://www.readunhooked.com IGNTD Recovery Program: https://www.igntd.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dradijaffe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dradijaffe LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dradijaffeFind Sober Friends: Website: https://www.soberfriendspod.com Email: matt@soberfriendspod.comSupport the show

No, that's not a typo — and it's not slowing down.Brett sits down with Steve Jaffe, marketing veteran and author of The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery, to talk about what most career books completely skip: the emotional and psychological toll of losing a job — and why processing that first is the key to what comes next.Steve was laid off four times over a 30-year career. His first layoff took him years to recover from. His last one in 2023? Water off a duck's back. The difference? He finally understood what he was actually experiencing: grief.This one is for anyone who's been laid off, is worried about being laid off, or is watching colleagues get cut and wondering when it's their turn.In this episode:Why January 2026 had the highest single-month layoffs since 2009 — and why the job market isn't bouncing backHow layoffs became a business strategy instead of a last resort (and what that means for your career security)The stages of grief that apply to job loss — and why skipping them is costing people months of their job searchWhy the "myth of meritocracy" is one of the most dangerous things to believe in corporateThe identity crisis that hits when your job title is your identity — and how to separate the twoWhat Gen Z is getting right about corporate that older generations sacrificedSteve's pivot from laid-off marketing exec to published author — without a Plan B in place firstWhy having a side hustle isn't just a trend — it's now a survival strategyAbout Steve JaffeSteve spent 30 years in marketing and advertising — from West Coast ad agencies to in-house brand roles, including work on the iconic What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas campaign. After being laid off four times, he channeled those 10,000 hours of experience into his book, The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery — a practical, grief-informed guide to navigating job loss without losing yourself in the process.Resources mentioned:
Layoffs are back in the headlines. Job postings are down. Hiring cycles are longer. What does that mean for MBA students and other professionals navigating today's market? In this episode, I speak with Steve Jaffe, author of The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery. Drawing on his experience of four layoffs across a 25-year marketing career, Steve maps job loss—and prolonged job search—to the seven stages of grief. This conversation is both practical and deeply human. You'll learn: Why career disruptions are emotional, not just logistical — and how naming the grief process reduces shame. How to separate your identity from your job title before you're forced to. Why networking before you need it is the ultimate resilience strategy in a market shaped by AI screening and hidden job opportunities. How hope and small daily wins compound over time, especially during a long job search.

Varian told the jury she was “disfigured for life.” Now 22, Varian detransitioned and “no longer thinks of herself as a male” but suffers from permanent effects of the irreversible surgery that was performed by physicians “failing to follow proper standards.” Her case is the first detrans lawsuit to go to trial and win in the United States – one of dozens of other cases being fought nationwide.

In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, psychologist and addiction expert Dr. Adi Jaffe reframes addiction, compulsive behavior, and self-sabotage as intelligent coping strategies rather than personal failures. He explains why labeling people as "addicts" creates shame and traps identity, how early childhood and even preverbal experiences shape adult behavior, and why most habits don't change through awareness alone. Dr. Jaffe introduces his SPARROW Behavioral Loop—stimulus, perception, activation, response, outcome—to show how emotions and bodily sensations, not events themselves, drive behavior. Together, they explore identity, responsibility without blame, growth mindset, emotional regulation, stoicism, belief systems, and why sustainable change comes from reshaping perception and nervous system responses rather than fighting behaviors directly. This conversation offers a compassionate, practical framework for breaking patterns and moving forward—without shame.
