About strategy
“Strategy is the way in which organizations adapt to change in their environment”. In this statement we find change, the evolution of society and environment as key factors.
Chiave per il cambiamento
Ripetere i messaggi instancabilmente, ricordare i punti chiave migliaia di volte… Quando si iniziano a sentire gli stessi concetti circolare di bocca in bocca, allora si può esser certi che la montagna sta cominciando a muoversi.
key to change
Tirelessly repeating messages, remembering key points thousands of times… When you start to hear the same concepts circulating from person to person and on everyone’s lips, then you can be sure that the mountain is beginning to move.
About leadership
Without making peace with your inner self and your values, you will not be able to understand the expectations of the people around you, nor will you be able to structure goals, and you will end up simulating dissonant behaviour that will generate contradictions and unconscious bias.
Sulla leadership
Senza fare pace con la propria interiorità e con i propri valori, non si può essere in grado di capire le aspettative delle persone intorno e nemmeno di strutturare degli obiettivi, e si finirà per simulare comportamenti dissonanti che genereranno contraddizioni e bias inconsci.
Change management tips
The key to change is to empower staff so that they can capitalize on their knowledge of the current organization and the value of their different experiences for the benefit of the new objectives.
Pray for Kiev
But my friend this morning instead woke up much earlier than usual and with only one thought, “Please stop him somehow!”
Pray for Kiev
la mia amica stamattina invece si è svegliata molto prima del solito e con un solo pensiero: “Vi prego fatelo smettere!”
Interculturalità
L’home office full time e le restrizioni hanno portato le persone a vivere sempre più la propria realtà locale perdendo l’abitudine all’uso dell’inglese e spesso perdendo la propensione a comprendere diverse opinioni e diversi approcci culturali.
Intercultural
Acceptance of what is different happens through personal knowledge and experience. If people live and interact in their everyday lives, they are more likely to understand each other.
Footprint
And what about us? What will be our footprint? This is a question we should never forget to ask ourselves.
Moving The Mountain
“Every possible effort,” in a managerial and corporate context, means being able to create an environment of involvement whereby everyone feels part of the same project and goal.
Moving The Mountain
In un contesto aziendale e manageriale i migliori risultati si ottengono quando il livello di coinvolgimento delle persone è tale che ognuno possa sentirsi parte di uno stesso progetto, quando ogni sforzo è orientato verso un obiettivo comune: un processo spesso arduo, in cui una buona guida manageriale può fare la differenza.
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.
“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…
