Successo

Recentemente mi è capitato di guardare un documentario su Freddy Mercury e, spinti dall’interesse, la stessa sera abbiamo guardato anche il film su di lui: “Bohemian Rapsody”. Il suo genio e il suo talento hanno attraversato e unito generazioni, le sue canzoni intramontabili e la sua energia sul palco lo hanno reso fra i migliori…

Butterfly effect

We all have a moral duty, especially if we belong to that group of fortunate people who have studied and realized their lives, to support other women who have simply had the misfortune of being born in the wrong place.

Effetto farfalla

Ma noi donne non possiamo dimenticare altre donne che non hanno la nostra stessa fortuna. E se l’effetto farfalla è vero allora forse un piccolo gesto, un’azione o un’iniziativa che sembra nulla rispetto all’entità del problema oggi, genererà un effetto nel futuro.

Resilience

The official definition of resilience in psychology is: “The ability to face life difficulties and overcome them by becoming strengthened and positively transformed. ”
But the principle of resilience is very hard to implement because it implies suffering.

Resilienza

La resilienza oggi più che mai è fondamentale per mantenere i nervi saldi. E come descriverlo meglio di così: “La definizione ufficiale in psicologia di resilienza è: “La capacità di affrontare le avversità della vita, di superarle uscendone rinforzati e trasformati positivamente.” Ma il principio della resilienza è molto difficile da attuare perché contiene della…

Superare la paura

Era il 2014 quando pubblicai il libro “La Strategia della Farfalla”. Ai tempi eravamo tutti un po’ scossi dalle ripercussioni della crisi economica e sentivo un forte bisogno di parlare dell’importanza di reinvetarsi e di non mollare mai.

Overcome fear

It’s already 7 years that I published the book “The Butterfly Strategy”. At the time we were all shaken by the economic crisis and I felt a strong need to talk about the importance of reinventing ourselves and never give up.

Neue Strategien kann man nur entwickeln, wenn man seinen Spielraum kennt

From paper to digital

Each time I approach my letterbox and I find tons of useless promotional flyers, that I throw directly into the dustbin, I get sad and also nervous. Many are still very fond of paper, some likes to receive them regularly. But is that really bringing more sales? Or more value to the Brands? Is that…

Strategies and their execution

We discussed several time about the big change affecting the B2B companies from a marketing point of view. The way consumers are interacting is changing and moving forward to a new way to position the business is one of the major duty of marketers. this means to move from a pure product, traditional approach to…

Round Table “B2B Marketing Online”

Today during the event B2B Marketing Hotline, organized by Marconomy, we had the chance to discuss and share about the challenges that companies are facing in this period, with a special focus on marketing and sales. The major topics were related to the role of marketing professionals, now and in future, and what kind of…

Philip Kotler – speech from Italian Marketing Foundation.

I like Philip Kotler, I studied everything he wrote and I met him in person once in Milano some years ago. He always has something interesting to share and aligned with the time. Here he shows us again that nowadays we cannot separate marketing activities to company purpose and values anymore. Every single action needs…

“B2B next normal”: from passive to strategic marketing

The evolution of the marketing approach is not a due and automatic process from passive to strategic. Of course many trends push more and more companies to be attractive in understanding their markets. However, the ability to move forward to the next stage is really depending on the situation of that specific sector in a…

Key learnings

Preparing the return and the phase 2, I feel an odd sense of anxiety. The same I was feeling in the beginning of the lock-down. At that time, the surprise and the concern was made by seeing the life we were used to have and to know as so granted and due, being disrupted by…

Brands and their “raison d’être”

I’ve been asked to explain what has been my approach during this crisis time regarding the Brand strategy. So, since sharing is caring, let us summarise some thoughts and directions that I am taking now. The crisis exist and will exist for next months, this is now clear and not less scaring for everyone. An…

Virtual leadership. Why many were so sceptic?

One of the opportunity created by this huge crisis is the use of smart-working on large scale. It is nothing new. Since years we envision a new way of working thanks to digital technology, but many companies and managers were still very sceptic about this new way of managing the professional daily life. The home-office…

“Next Normal” could be a better world

It is my eight week of quarantine, sitting in my apartment close to Milan, one of the most affected areas of Covid19; I am working the whole day to push further the narrative of the company in this very strange time. Ethic and Empathy are part of our daily life now as never before. Staying…

The Brand can be the real game changer

One of my major challenge of the last years has been to move the Brand positioning of the company from a pure B2B “technical” approach to a “consumer insights” approach. The Brand has been crucial in this process in order to push the organization to define in a new way its own “reason why”. In…

C’era una volta Esselunga …

Era un caldo pomeriggio di inizio agosto quando fui contattata in urgenza dalla Direzione del Personale di Esselunga. Lavorare per un’azienda così prestigiosa era considerata allora una fortuna inestimabile! Il direttore del personale organizzò nel giro di due giorni un secondo colloquio con il Dottor Giuseppe Caprotti e, all’inizio di settembre, entrai negli uffici di…
