Public leadership and the culture of safety: beyond emergency management
The world around us is, by definition, more complex than any model we use to make sense of it. […] In this systemic context, public leadership is called to radical transformation. It is no longer enough to be skilled administrators or efficient decision-makers. What is needed is the ability to interpret and steer change, to be architects of meaning, weavers of trust and relationships. This is a ...
Social Return On Investment: Measuring the Impact of ESG Initiatives
The last five years have seen a tenfold upsurge in the efforts of companies to undertake sustainability pathways, in keeping with the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda. These initiatives range from interventions to encourage greater respect for the environment and/or discourage polluting behaviors, to paying more attention to people, ...
Sustainability under attack: the green challenge between data and disinformation
For years, science has shown that climate change is real and driven by human activity. Recent news confirms that we have already crossed seven out of nine planetary boundaries that keep our planet in balance. Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, warns that we are jeopardizing the stability of Earth’s entire life-support system – vital for our prosperity ...
Managing nature’s portfolio: why natural capital really matters
Whether as farmers or fishers, foresters or miners, households or companies, governments or communities, we manage the assets to which we have access, in line with our motivations as best as we can. But the best each of us can achieve with our individual portfolios may nevertheless result in a massive collective failure to manage the global portfolio of all our assets. We are like a crowd of people, ...
A New Approach to Sustainable Supply Chain Management
In recent years, growing regulatory pressures and stakeholder expectations have heightened the need for transparency and accountability across entire production chains, driving companies to adopt new management models. On September 10th, Italy officially adopted Directive 2022/2464/EU – known as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) – through Legislative Decree 125/2024, published ...
Why Sustainability is Worth It (Even if Showing It Off is No Longer in Vogue)
“You’re good, and they throw stones at you. You’re bad, and they throw stones at you,” sang Gian Pieretti and Antoine at the Sanremo Festival in 1967. Fifty-eight years later, the sentiment described in the Italian song risks silencing the conversation on sustainability. The term 'greenhushing' refers to companies minimizing or completely avoiding communication about their environmental goals ...
Why SMEs are the new front line of cybersecurity
In today’s digital ecosystem, the perception that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are “too small to be a target” is a dangerous and obsolete anachronism. The strategic reality is diametrically opposed: SMEs are not only a primary target, but are often regarded by malicious actors as the “weak point” of the entire economic value chain. Their interconnectedness with large corporations, ...
The “nervous system” of cybersecurity: data, automation, and response to reduce risk
Today’s companies face a paradox: a greater number of security tools has led to greater complexity, data overload, and critical visibility gaps, effectively increasing the risk of breaches. The average Security Operations Center (SOC) is flooded with more than 10,000 alerts per day, with an estimated 30% not even reviewed due to volume and a high false-positive rate. This phenomenon, known as alert ...
Public Administration and Meritocracy between Myth and Reality
For years the public administration has evoked the mantra of meritocracy, with great difficulty in concretely introducing it. This makes the public sector less attractive for more qualified people on the labor market, and produces a gradual demotivation of public employees. The attempt to introduce more meritocracy in the public administration has been reduced to the often distorted use of monetary ...
New Leadership for the Italian PA
An analysis of the resumes of Italian public managers shows that they are very old (54.8 years of age, total average), their origin (and education) is from the Center and South of the country, with legal education and limited experience internationally and outside of the public administration. More than one-third of top managers are women: on this point, the central public administration has a better ...
