The program will give you an insight into how Italian companies, which have a keen understanding of the relationship between people, complexity, tradition, design and aesthetic, approach innovation. Your Italia Innovation mentors will guide you through methods to discover new ways of leveraging opportunities within the cultural framework of a leading Italian business and you will team up with peers to develop a user-centered vision for the future of those companies and their industries.
Elizabeth Segran from Fast Company will guide you in the dialogue with Italian managers and entrepreneurs and will lend her expertise gleaning relevant information from the companies. Her understanding of today‘s innovation trends will give you an extensive introduction to the circumstances Italian brands face before you get an insight on the companies’ value creation by visiting their HQ and production facilities.You will then be guided on how to identify opportunities for value creation and creative intervention in order for these companies to be relevant for future consumers.
