Molto interessante su come opera OpenAI - pieno di perle. Sto ragionando per capire cosa è utile per organizzazioni più piccole/crescita meno esplosiva. (link in commento) Perle: Teams at OpenAI are much more fluid than they might be elsewhere. When launching Codex, we needed some help from a few experienced ChatGPT engineers to hit our launch date. We met with some of the ChatGPT EMs to make the request. The next day we had two badass folks ready to dive in and help. There was no "waiting for quarterly planning" or "re-shuffling headcount". It moved really quickly. There's a strong bias to action (you can just do things). It wasn't unusual for similar teams but unrelated teams to converge on various ideas. I started out working on a parallel (but internal) effort similar to ChatGPT Connectors. There must've been ~3-4 different Codex prototypes floating around before we decided to push for a launch. These efforts are usually taken by a small handful of individuals without asking permission. Teams tend to quickly form around them as they show promise Vale la pena leggerlo tutto

Thrilled to see my perspective on emerging customer behavior making headlines on Italy's #1 business newspaper (Il Sole 24 Ore) Giampaolo Colletti and Fabio Grattagliano perfectly synthesized what I've been observing: the lines between gaming, commerce, and brand engagement are dissolving before our eyes. The article highlights three game-changing trends that every marketer should understand: ☝️ Virtual worlds as marketing frontiers: Platforms like Fortnite, Roblox, and Minecraft aren't just games anymore, but act like immersive marketing ecosystems where brands can create authentic experiences that resonate with Gen Alpha and Gen Z. ✌️ The rise of new forms of "advergame": We're witnessing the emergence of advertising that doesn't interrupt the experience but enhances it. Brands are becoming part of the gameplay itself (aka creating value rather than disrupting it). 🫶 Community-driven commerce: These platforms are proving that the future of retail isn't selling products, it's building COMMUNITIES WHERE COMMERCE HAPPENS NATURALLY. What fascinates me most is how these gaming environments are teaching us new rules for customer engagement: 1. authenticity over promotion, 2. experience over transaction, 3. community over audience. The implications for traditional retail and marketing are profound and they apply beyond Fortnite, Roblox and Minecraft. 😉 -gs

🌐 In today’s hyperconnected world, inertia is a greater risk than disruption.   📗 In “Market Strategies in a Hyper-Connected World” (EgeaEditore, 2025), Alessandro Arbore argues that strategy must become a living process—constantly evolving, rarely fixed. The core lesson? Success lies in dynamic adaptation, not static plans.   What does this mean in practice?   👉​ Leaders must decide when to initiate change, when to join existing movements, and when to co-evolve, aligning boldness with defensibility. (Egea Online)   👉​ Marketing must reclaim its place as a strategic engine, not a downstream function. It’s no longer enough to execute plans—you must lead experiments, interpret signals, and shift course when data and intuition demand.   👉​ AI is a powerful ally—but one that must be steered. In marketing, generative AI should augment human insight, not replace it; success depends on preserving judgment, reputation, and tacit knowledge.   Arbore calls for new mindsets in leadership, marketing, and innovation. The environments we compete in are no longer linear or predictable.   📌 Only organizations that embed learning, agility, and “abductive” thinking (a way of reasoning that starts from incomplete or ambiguous information and generates the most plausible hypothesis to explain it) into their core will thrive.   👉 For those who lead, market, or design strategy in any capacity, this book can be a strategic guide to staying relevant when change is the only constant.   Discover more on SDA Bocconi insight: https://lnkd.in/dS53QqG3

👓 What the eyewear industry teaches us about successful #growth and bold and impeccable #corporate #strategy #ideation and #execution? Based on my recent SDA Bocconi #Insight contribution, here are five key lessons: 1️⃣ Vertical integration is a launchpad for innovation, not just control. 2️⃣ Proprietary brands strengthen portfolios beyond licensing logic. 3️⃣ Global listening matters, growth requires local insight, not just distribution. 4️⃣ Italy (and Veneto) is more than a supply chain: it’s an R&D lab in motion. 5️⃣ Eyewear is an important gateway to Made in Italy, cultural and emotional. Eyewear proves that heritage sectors can be reimagined, with the right balance of craft, scale, and vision. ➡️ Full article here (Italian version available): https://lnkd.in/d6M-WsRN #Eyewear #LuxuryStrategy #MadeInItaly #B2B #Innovation #SDAInsight #GrowthStrategy #Symbolicindustries

Just read Alberto Dalmasso's take on unlimited PTO at Satispay. It got me thinking... 🚨𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐓𝐎 (𝐚𝐤𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬) 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 Here's what we learned the hard way at Coverflex: When you remove PTO limits, you don't remove constraints, you remove clarity. -> High performers see time off as weakness signalling -> Managers give mixed messages about coverage -> People take fewer days than with traditional policies -> Humans hate ambiguity more than strict rules. "Take as much as you need" becomes "how little can I get away with?" At Coverflex, we stopped asking "How do we give maximum flexibility?" and started asking "What makes people actually feel safe to disconnect?" ✅ 25-day minimum (not maximum) ✅ Manager training on coverage planning ✅ Milestone sabbaticals every 5 years 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤, 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞. We're David fighting Goliath with limited resources and unlimited ambition. But intensity without recovery isn't sustainable. It's just burnout with better marketing. The best teams I know work hard and rest hard. They understand that peak performance requires both gas and brakes. 👉 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 "𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞" 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞? Similar to unlimited PTO. Maybe flexible hours without clear communication norms. Maybe "results-only" cultures that still reward visible busy work. The pattern is the same: we announce progressive policies, then wonder why the outcomes don't match our intentions.
