Since 2023, we have been proud to continue our partnership with Sciences Po and Le Monde as part of the 2026 “Thinking About Work” Prize, an award that highlights books that help us better understand the transformations reshaping work and their implications for organizations, leaders, and society as a whole.
This partnership is part of a broader collaboration between Turningpoint and Sciences Po focused on leadership, organizational transformation, and the future of work. For several years, our teams have worked closely with Sciences Po researchers, particularly through the Chair for Organizational and Work Transformation, helping to fuel the reflections of the Turningpoint Lab and foster dialogue between academic research and real-world practice.
This year, the jury of the “Thinking About Work” Prize has shortlisted three books, each offering a unique perspective on the contemporary shifts shaping the workplace. The winner will be announced on 14 October:
- Le monde des start-up by Marion Flécher
- Les nouveaux contremaîtres : Enquête sur la surveillance au travail à l’heure de l’IA by Clément Pouré
- (In)volontaires aux JO : récit d’un conflit du travail gratuit by Maud Simonet
Stay tuned as we take a closer look at each of these thought-provoking books in the coming weeks!
We would also like to warmly thank the students whose outstanding work made the selection of these books possible, as well as our clients and jury members, Jessica Frank, Human Resources Director at Maison Margiela, and Frédéric Thoral, Human Resources Director at BNP Paribas Personal Finance, who will be responsible for selecting the 2026 winner.
Our sincere thanks also go to our partners Henri Bergeron, Patrick Castel and Corinne Dequecker from Sciences Po, as well as Anne Rodier and Jules Thomas, journalists at Le Monde, for their continued support and commitment to this initiative.
