METHODOLOGY
As Head-Hunters, we are always constant observers of the dynamics of the
market and its latest trends. We have gathered our considerations and this short
presentation wants to be food for thought on the 4th Industrial Revolution we are
currentlyundergoing.
It has been possible thanks to the experience of our Consultants acquired on the
manyDigitalTransformationprojectswehavebeenworkingon,whichhasallowed
ustoalwaysremainuptodateandaheadofthecurveintheDigitalspace.
We have also integrated our point of view with the ones of Clients and Friends
who are CIOs, HRDs and Heads of Digital of important companies and expert in
this field, who have offered us their interpretation and knowledge through in-
depthinterviews. Wewouldliketothankthemfortheirprecioustimeandadvise.

5. 5 WE FIND&GROW YOUR LEADERS
It’s a transformation of culture and processes: digital technologies are the enabling
factors, but the real activators are the people, who remain at the centre of every
processandexperience.
The key is to adopt an agile methodology which, in an ever leaner and more fluid
organization, brings working together heterogeneous teams that lessen the
demarcationlinebetweenBusinessandIT.
In this way, decisions are taken in a shared and conjunct way. It’s the so-called
“democratization” of digital technology: thanks to it the concept of hierarchy loses
importance in favour of agile teams, able to take decisions autonomously and to
reachresultsmuchquicker.
6. 6 WE FIND&GROW YOUR LEADERS
We are seeing the rise of a new generation
company, based on Smart Working, Digital
Workplace and Knowledge Management,
and whose traits are not stiff and rigid, but
on the contrary, are being continuously
redefined as (according to the concept of
Business Agility) the journey matters more
than the destination and the new options
offered every day give us the opportunity to
inventtodaywhatwasnotthereyesterday.
