THE CONFERENCE
NOVA has historically been a messenger of a way of doing business based on meritocracy, innovation, top class education and values, as learned in the best Business School campuses. The yearly NOVA Conference has always been a moment to meet and reflect on the status of the Italian system. The conferences always bring together top statesmen & CEOs with MBA students and alumni.
THE TOPIC
Leading with Courage in Unprecedented Times
We are living in a world of rapid transformation where challenges are constantly becoming more complex and new forces can transform the competitive paradigm at impressive speed, accelerating technological, social and political changes.
In this scenario, political systems, countries, companies but also each and everyone of us as professionals and business leaders need to manage carefully the balance between knowledge based decision making and openness to innovation. Decision making for policy makers and business leaders need to be constantly fed by on one side a solid base of experience, competence, education, know-how and – on the other side – by a drive for disruption and the courage of innovation. Managing this balance that sometimes can be seen as a dilemma or trade off but is actually a responsibility to ensure that value is maximized in a sustainable way for all stakeholders, is the cornerstone of any competitive challenge both in the short and in the long run.
The conference intends to propose a reflection and a discussion on this theme through the experiences and the real life stories of speakers and contributors.
