Damart Sébastien - CV

Biography

Sébastien Damart's research has largely focused on topics related to instrumentation used to facilitate group work in organizations. He participated in the development of several research questions, within this thematic framework, whose final ambition was to devise approaches and tools that would allow a better integration of the logics and points of view of the members of a collective (a group, an organization, any territory).

The starting point of this development was devoted to decision support tools and the facilitation of the debate in the field of public decisions (transport or related to energy in particular, through several PREDIT or ANR projects). In particular, he worked with Bernard Roy on the support of group decision and negotiation based on some multi-criteria decision aiding methodologies.

Sébastien Damart has devoted part of his research to a historical and conceptual detour by the concept of integration. He was interested in the ideas and contributions of Mary Parker Follett, pioneering author of management at the beginning of the 20th century but to other contributors of the same period, Oliver Sheldon for example. He is one of the translators of M.P. Follett's works in French and he contributed to the spreading of Follett's thought.

Sébastien Damart has also worked extensively on organizations in which the issue of integrating multiple logics is crucial: health organizations. He has participated in several research projects involving hospitals and medico-social institutions.

In 2018, he started a research program with several co-authors on the links between science fiction and management research.
