ITAS has over 200 years of history and a unique mutual approach (only two companies in Italy are mutual). ITAS realised that it needed to refocus and align the activities activity with Group objectives and priorities at the same time as encouraging the emergence of talent and facilitating an evolution in management culture based on specific desired competencies.

The “Strategic Execution” program was designed for the company based on the 4A Framework methodology that we developed with top American universities.   During the program, four themes were addressed (Alignment, Ability, Architecture and Agility). The participants, through highly engaging and team oriented role-playing sessions, (in-depth studies, exercises and business simulations) created an action plan fully in line with company objectives and priorities.

ITAS, appreciating the tailor-made approach and effectiveness of the programme, decided to involve all the key officers in a second substantial and more complex project, called “x-Teams: ITAS a New Generation for a Digital World”.

In the x-Teams project, the 236 people were encouraged to stimulate different competencies through the use of business simulations, presentations by selected university professors (subject matter experts) and competitive scenario tests on platforms tailor-made for the company.
