Professionisti e aziende, prove di avvicinamento

Create an effective moment of meeting between consultants, like myself, and business is always a complex thing to manage. Because those that arise spontaneously (at a fair or a conference) are often characterized by a lack of time and opportunity to investigate certain things, because in fact, you have to do. Those who are organizing volunteers, meetings, and meetings often have the disadvantage of being focused on the specific needs of the moment, without providing for those wide-ranging discussions that generate very interesting ideas. Last night I wanted to experience a new way to "live" these moments of meeting . The Corriere della Sera, CNA Modena and the site Trovolavoro.it have in fact organized an evening that offered a limited number of companies the opportunity to meet with experienced professionals in business and marketing . A dinner, preceded by a presentation of Dario Di Vico Cristina Mariani and (a friend, as well as a colleague), who saw with tables, side by side, contractors and consultants. Some would call it "an exchange of curriculum" but the idea intrigued me. How did it go?

The initiative itself was, in my opinion, a good balance between the advantages and things to improve . Let's start with the pros. Forty companies and sixty professionals, all gathered for a simple reason, ie know each other. It is not a trivial thing. Non capita spesso di avere la possibilità di parlare, confrontarsi e discutere con tanti colleghi e responsabili aziendali, ognuno con le rispettive esperienze e competenze. In più, si è avuto modo di parlare di marketing con chi non è un "addetto ai lavori" . Mi capita spesso di partecipare a eventi e conferenze con esperti con cui condivido, oltre a idee e progetti, anche lo stesso gergo, lo stesso modo di pensare, gli stessi obiettivi. Ma il mondo, là fuori, non comunica così e spesso ce ne dimentichiamo . Per questo, avere di fronte un responsabile di un'azienda di elettronica o di meccanica a una cena ti offre l'opportunità di capire il suo punto di vista in modo professionale ma con la sufficiente quiet, often generating some very interesting thoughts. Now we come to

things to improve. The "who sits where" it was decided by the organizers: to me it hit a table with five consultants and one company representative. Certainly a very favorable situation for the enterprise (beyond the very real risk of being the trophy for the "pull jacket"), much less for us. The discussion was very nice but only for the fact that people have made it such. Why not predict a change in the provisions under these real? Or why not organize a buffet and also provide a "round tables" of consultants? The tavoli erano, di fatto, aree isolate le une dalle altre, ognuno con le sue specifiche battute di caccia. Un altro punto "migliorabile" è la partecipazione attiva dei responsabili delle aziende . Durante le presentazioni iniziali, è stato chiesto ai presenti di esprimere i propri punti di vista sui temi toccati: sono intervenuti esclusivamente i professionisti, mai i responsabili aziendali (con un'unica eccezione). Come mai? Sono venuti a un evento con finalità chiare ed evidenti, avendo la possibilità di esprimere giudizi, pareri, critiche o altro. Poteva essere un momento molto interessante, non lo hanno fatto diventare tale.

Comunque, tornerei a un evento del genere. Perché qualcosa ti lascia, positive or negative, contacts and knowledge . They are always useful things. In addition, we see many people doing the work, more or less, your work, not often. Surely, the "spin doctors" is a category always represented . And this penalizes us a lot. We all have different skills, experiences, specificity, why not exploit them instead of developing systems that show a maximum quibble, after five seconds, they did not know (starting with reckless climbing on the glass)? We can never be good at everything, but doing so proved to be good at anything. There is really convenient? Yes, I know, all we family but to sell smoke will not give us any guarantee. To get perspective, there are other philosophies much more effective. As someone said, to each his job.
