Webmeeting series on VUCA made up of 4 independent sessions
#2 Complexity to Clarity

In collaboration with our member

Elisabeth Weingraber-Pircher

Following the very positive feedback from the previous seminars for Sustaining Members on Resilience, Elisabeth.Weingraber-Pircher, learning consultant and coach, accompanies Chamber members into the world of VUCA.

Metamorphosis: A profound change from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism, as from the caterpillar to the pupa and from the pupa to the adult butterfly.

Metamorphosis is antidote to stagnation, antidote to a fixed mindset.

The purpose of this series on metamorphosis is to use the energy infused into our system by an outside disruption like CoViD19 to create a growth mindset that allows us to thrive in a VUCA world. It’s not about the strategies it is about the

mindset that allows the formulation of such strategies.

A mindset that focuses on better understanding who we are as a human being.

How we redefine our essence and how we want to emerge into the new uncertain world. We decide the form and substance of our goodness.

Our metamorphosis mindset will allow us to constantly redefine ourselves, opening constantly new possibilities in a VUCA world to stay true to ourselves in infinite shapes and forms.

Digital space #2: Complexity to Clarity

Interdependence has increased not only in our supply chains, decision making lines but also in our personal lives. It is unclear who moves first, what the impact of my words and actions have and how we are seen from further away.
It is figuring out not so much where we end and begin but what we need and what we can offer in order to increase our impact and showing up with our core goodness where it counts.

MIND – Milan Innovation District reboot plan for Italy

with Filippo Addarii & Paule Ansoleaga Abascal

In our 1st BCCI Inclusive Finance webinar, we explored the fiscal and monetary resources needed to keep the system afloat during this pandemic crisis. On our 2nd virtual gathering, we discussed how to use those resources to build back better. We highlighted the role ofsustainable finance as a powerful force-for-good, an essential tool to support the real economy, foster innovation and bring about social, environmental and economic progress.

This time, we would like to discuss a real case on how to pursue private interests along with public value by leveraging on open innovation. We will host Filippo Addarii, Founding Partner and CEO of PlusValue Advisory ltd., strategic consultancy firm based in London and specialised in designing innovation ecosystems to drive value creation together with social impact. PlusValue’s flagship project is MIND – Milan Innovation District, the €2bn regeneration of the 1m sqm site where EXPO2015 took place. This is a strategic project for Italy combining a brand new neighbourhood of Milan with an innovation district specialised in life science and sustainable smart city solutions. Together with Filippo we will explore how to build an innovation ecosystem like MIND and the potential of impact investing to catalyse the potential of the ecosystem for people and society. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that we need to reimagine our cities and invest to make them resilient to the challenges of our  time.

Digital space #3: Uncertainty to Understanding

Where will we end up? Old truths are no longer valid. Statistics will not provide guidance, last months practices have become obsolete. What is emerging? How can we combat anxiety and worry about our future?
Working through a complex case we will define for ourselves a way to focus our efforts on what is within our control and close to our core goodness. Defining questions and data points that allow us to create focus and understanding.

Digital space #4: Volatility to Vision

Everything is constantly changing. Recently with a suddenness that caught us by surprise promising an even more uncertain and volatile future.
What can we hold on to? What will give us stability? Do we need stability?
We will work on initial stimuli to start answering these questions for ourselves moving towards a clear vision that will serve us as a guiding light in volatile circumstances.
