Acing the regulatory exam
Integrated telcos undergoing separation/asset reconfiguration must carefully balance several factors, not least of which is regulation. The regulatory benefits from asset reconfiguration strongly depend on: (1) the type of separation model being adopted, (2) strategic resolutions spelled out in the master service agreement (MSA) between separated entities, and (3) local regulations. Consequently, there must be a careful assessment at all decision-making levels to “ace” the regulatory exam.
Postal retail networks
The digitalization of the economy is profoundly changing trade. Traditional retailers must transform to survive reduced foot traffic and sales. Postal operators that have not yet outsourced their branches face the same problems as retailers, amplified by the progressive disappearance of mail, the growth of virtual banking, and the digitalization of a substantial proportion of counter operations. A deep transformation is necessary.
Eyes in the sky: Opportunities from earth observation
Earth observation (EO) — combined with developments in cloud infrastructure, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI) — enables data-driven decision-making to address societal challenges like city development planning, land management, and climate issues. Higher data resolution fostered by technology enhancement, increased access to free low-/medium-resolution images, easily accessible computing power, and accelerating data-driven organizational transformation have enabled steady growth in EO market.
Smart regulation: The gateway to frontier innovation
Interview: Using innovation to create sustainable growth
An interview with Alessandro Profumo, CEO, Leonardo S.p.A.(formerly Finmeccanica Group S.p.A.)
Francesco Marsella, Giancarlo Agresti, Andrea Visentin
Alessandro Profumo is the chief executive officer of Leonardo S.p.A., a role he has held since May 16, 2017. He has also been the honorary chairman of AIAD (the Italian Industries Federation for Aerospace, Defense and Security) since July 2017 and chairman of the Fondazione Ricerca & Imprenditorialità since February 2018.
Planning strategic competences of the future
Different companies from different industries have been linking HR planning with corporate strategy, but how could HR become an enabler of success?
While most often, HR planning is focused on workload management and the short term (or at least the medium term, according to the strategic planning horizon), over the next 5 to 10 years many relevant emerging trends could affect the business: technology switch, multi-channel sales, the customer of the future, industry convergence, open innovation.
