E, se ci fosse bisogno di una qualche prova, un recente sondaggio svolto da SITE ha riscontrato che il 76% dei provider e dei buyer di esperienze motivazionali in tutto il mondo hanno riscontrato una diminuzione nella loro attività. &lt;br /&gt;Ma… sembra che finalmente tutto stia tornando alla normalità!&lt;br /&gt;Personalmente, abbiamo già ricevuto diverse richieste e confermato diversi lavori per il 2010 e il 2011, e speriamo che sia lo stesso (o che lo sarà) per i nostri colleghi in tutto il settore!&lt;br /&gt;Quindi, cerchiamo di guardare al futuro con un po’ più d’ottimismo…  può darsi che vi (e ci) porti buona fortuna!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Addio, 2009!&lt;br /&gt;Benvenuto, 2010!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2009 finally ended. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a difficult year, as both the motivation and communication industries strongly suffered for the current recession. If you needed some proof, a recent SITE survey declared that 76% of motivational experience providers and buyers worldwide have experienced a decrease in their activity.&lt;br /&gt;But… it seems that finally everything is changing back to normal! &lt;br /&gt;Personally, we are already seeing a lot of RFP activity and new bookings for 2010 and 2011, and we hope the same is or will be for our comrades in the industry!&lt;br /&gt;So, let’s look at the future with a little more optimism… may be it will bring you good luck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goodbye, 2009!&lt;br /&gt;Welcome, 2010!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-7398495502798826027?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/7398495502798826027/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=7398495502798826027&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/7398495502798826027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/7398495502798826027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-new-year.html' title='HAPPY NEW YEAR!'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-3639705859739307786</id><published>2010-01-04T09:52:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-04T09:52:00.122+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Creatività e Comunicazione'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>Originality</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Più originale una scoperta, più ovvio sembra subito dopo" &lt;/span&gt;(A.

Scott Jeffrey dell’Università di Waterloo ha scritto in un interessante studio che la cosa è giustificata da 4 cause: evaluability, separability, justifiability, e social reinforcement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVALUABILITY:  poichè dare un valore monetario a un incentive non monetario non è affatto facile, le reazioni “istintive” e “affettive” al premio si sostituiscono al suo reale valore. Inoltre, le valutazioni affettive tendono a incrementare il valore ben oltre quello reale!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEPARABILITY: un premio in denaro viene cognitivamente aggregato al salario. Così, un premio in denaro quasi non si nota e viene facilmente dimenticato. Sull’altro fronte, un incentive non monetario è unico e viene istintivamente separato dal salario. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JUSTIFIABILITY: molti incentivi non monetari sono lussi dei quali i partecipanti normalmente non giustificherebbero l’acquisto. Se i partecipanti lo valutano in maniera elevata, sebbene non lo acquisterebbero personalmente, allora l’opportunità di riceverlo come premio per il proprio duro lavoro non viola i principi morali dei partecipanti. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SOCIAL REINFORCEMENT: il riconoscimento delle proprie capacità e meriti da parte di colleghi e amici è un dei più importanti motivatori per la maggior parte delle persone. D’altra parte, le persone non trovano socialmente accettabile vantarsi dei propri guadagni, ma nel contempo ritengono socialmente accettabile parlare di un viaggio o un premio vinto!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Often, I’m asked by my corporate clients what I think about pure cash versus non-monetary incentive.&lt;br /&gt;And each time, my answer is the same: several principles of social and cognitive psychology suggest that winners perceive non-monetary incentive more valuable than the same value of that prize in cash. &lt;br /&gt;Dr Scott Jeffrey of University of Waterloo wrote in one essay  that there are 4 motives for this: evaluability, separability, justifiability, and social reinforcement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVALUABILITY: as giving a monetary value to non-monetary incentive is not easy, the “instinctive” and “affective” reaction to the award substitutes for its real value. Moreover, affective evaluations tend to increase value beyond the actual!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEPARABILITY: a cash prize is cognitively aggregated with salary. Thus, a cash prize does not stand out and is easily forgotten. On the other hand, a non-cash incentive is unique and really stand out from salary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JUSTIFIABILITY: many non-cash incentives are luxuries that participants normally would not justify purchasing. If participants value it highly, but probably would not purchase it, than the opportunity to earn it as a reward for hard work does not violate the participants’ principles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SOCIAL REINFORCEMENT : acknowledgement from colleagues and friends is one of the most important motivators for most people.

Avevo promesso di aggiornare questo blog ogni settimana, e non l’ho fatto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La verità è che è stato un periodo molto impegnativo. Ma anche molto felice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tutto si muove nella giusta direzione, e recentemente abbiamo avuto molte buone notizie e recensioni: &lt;br /&gt;uno dei nostri format è stato inserito in un libro tra le “101 cose da fare in Sicilia” (potete leggere il mio post sull’argomento &lt;a href="http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/11/le-citta-invisibili-tra-le-101-cose-da.html"&gt;QUI&lt;/a&gt;); &lt;br /&gt;ci è stato dedicato un articolo su Incentivare (una delle più importanti riviste di settore Italiane) nel numero di Settembre, e parlano di noi ancora nel numero dicembrino;&lt;br /&gt;e ora, non possiamo essere più orgogliosi di annunciare di essere stati selezionati come Finalisti per l’&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;edizione 2010 degli Spotlight Awards di Event Solutions&lt;/span&gt;, nella categoria “&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Società d’intrattenimento dell’anno&lt;/span&gt;”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E, a renderci ancora più orgogliosi, il fatto di essere l’unica società Europea tra gli 8 finalisti della nostra categoria!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gli Spotlight Awards, nati nel 1997, sono infatti unop dei più antichi e prestigiosi premi nella Event Industry, valorizzando i migliori professionisti, società e risultati.

And also an happy one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything is going fine, and we also have had a lot of good news and reviews: &lt;br /&gt;one of our format was inserted in a book as one of the “101 things to do in Sicily” (you can read my post about it &lt;a href="http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/11/le-citta-invisibili-tra-le-101-cose-da.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;); &lt;br /&gt;an article about us was published in the September issue of Incentivare (one of Italy’s most important trade magazine), and another one has just been published in the December issue; &lt;br /&gt;and now, we can’t be more proud to announce that we have been selected as a Finalist for the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2010 Event Solutions Spotlight Award&lt;/span&gt; in the category &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Entertainment company of the year&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;To make us more proud, we are the only European company among the 8 finalists in our category!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Spotlight Awards, first presented in 1997, are one of the event industry’s premier, most comprehensive awards, recognizing the best individuals, companies and achievements.

“Oltre il team building – come coltivare intelligenze e diversità” è il volume giusto per voi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dall’outdoor-training ai role-playing, dalle attività artistiche a quelle a sfondo sociali, gli autori sviscerano (ovviamente non in maniera onnicomprensiva, ma comunque molto funzionale) più o meno tutto ciò che c’è da sapere nel campo, e schematizzano il tutto in una pratica tabella alla fine del libro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma la cosa più interessante per un professionista è probabilmente il concetto di attività A.L.F.A. (Attività Ludico Formativa Aggregativa). Come gli autori hanno giustamente scritto: “non è corretto definire team building qualsiasi attività organizzata all’interno di una manifestazione”. Le A.L.F.A. includono infatti non solo attività che hanno come obiettivo la formazione di un team, ma che magari concentrano la loro attenzione su altre skills, come il problem-solving o il time-management. &lt;br /&gt;Come qualcuno sicuramente ricorderà, ho parlato dello stesso argomento in più di una occasione, come nel seminario che ho tenuto ad Aprile per la facoltà di Economia dell’Università di Catania (potete leggere il mio post sul seminario &lt;a href="http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/04/motivation-teambuilding-and.html"&gt;QUI&lt;/a&gt;), ma penso che nessuno ha espresso questo concetto in una maniera più chiara o migliore degli autori del libro, e io stesso da oggi utilizzerò la sigla A.L.F.A. (dandogliene ovviamente credito).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chiara Abbate e  Simone Bandini buti sono ottimi professionisti, e lo dimostrano attraverso queste pagine.&lt;br /&gt;Altamente consigliato!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are looking for a good book that could guide you through the state-of-the-art in team-building, look no more! “Oltre il team building – come coltivare intelligenze e diversità” is the right volume for you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From “outdoor training” to “role-playing-games”, from “artistic” to “social” activities, the authors illustrate (obviously not in a complete way, but in a pleasant one) about everything in the field, and schematically present them all in a chart at the end of the book. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, the most interesting thing for a professional is the A.L.F.A. (Attività Ludico Formative Aggregative – Gaming, Training and Social Activities) concept. As the authors rightly wrote: “it’s not correct to call team-building any social activity that is carried out during an event”.  A.L.F.A. includes even the activities that do not have team building as their main goal, but perhaps other skills like problem solving, time-management, etc.&lt;br /&gt;As someone may remember, I have talked about the same argument in more than one occasion, as in the seminar I ran in April for the Faculty of Economics of Catania University  (you can read my post about the seminar &lt;a href="http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/04/motivation-teambuilding-and.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;), but I do think that no one have expressed this same concept in a clearer and better way, and I will use the A.L.F.A. concept myself (giving credits to the authors, of course).   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chiara Abbate and Simone Bandini Buti are great professionals, and it shows through these pages.&lt;br /&gt;Highly recommended!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;(NOTE: the book is actually available only in Italian language)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-1207834975562568042?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/1207834975562568042/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=1207834975562568042&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/1207834975562568042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/1207834975562568042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/11/review-oltre-il-team-building-come.html' title='Review: &quot;Oltre il team building – come coltivare intelligenze e diversità&quot;, di Chiara Abbate e Simone Bandini Buti (Convegni editore, 2009)'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SwANof2oomI/AAAAAAAAATY/U0R5xT_WDu4/s72-c/pubblicazioni.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-5793540338557702922</id><published>2009-11-23T13:19:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-23T13:19:00.324+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>build the Ark!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Non abbiate paura di fare qualcosa di nuovo.

Cercai di capire di cosa avesse bisogno e mi spiegò che stava organizzando una fiera (aperta al pubblico), e che semplicemente aveva dimenticato di programmare un qualsiasi tipo di intrattenimento. Per dirla tutta, aveva addirittura dimenticato di noleggiare un adeguato sistema audio!&lt;br /&gt;Quando chiesi quando la fiera dovesse iniziare, aggiunse: “E’ già iniziata stamattina, e sto ricevendo molte lamentele da tutti gli standisti! Qualcuno mi ha anche minacciato di andare via se non fossi riuscito a risolvere il problema entro breve!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lascio a voi tirare le vostre conclusioni su questo specifico evento, ma sono sempre sconvolto da quante volte noto che il valore dell’intrattenimento è sottovalutato pure dagli addetti al settore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Essendo un potente mezzo di comunicazione, ciascun evento deve essere coerente in ciascuna delle sue parti. Quindi, l’intrattenimento, se appropriato, dovrebbe essere una parte integrante della progettazione sin dalle primissime battute. &lt;br /&gt;In particolare, gli eventi aziendali sono estremamente importanti per curare i rapporti con dipendenti e clienti.  E molte persone temono che questi eventi li costringano per ore in sale dedicate ai meeting, facendogli sprecare il proprio tempo con persone di cui non gli interessa nulla. Creare eventi motivazionali e d’ispirazione non è facile, e un evento noioso è di sicuro l’ultima cosa che volete per i vostri ospiti. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo so: scegliere l’intrattenimento giusto per il vostro evento non è un compito facile.&lt;br /&gt;Volete che sia memorabile.&lt;br /&gt;Volete che rispetti il vostro budget.&lt;br /&gt;E non volete che vi causi nessuna preoccupazione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miei suggerimenti?&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Siate coerenti&lt;/span&gt;: la forma d’intrattenimento prescelta  deve essere adatta al tema dell’evento  o anche semplicemente al tema della serata. Qualsiasi cosa che contrasti con il tema dell’evento sarà percepita come inappropriata e, inoltre, potrebbe deviare l’attenzione dal tema principale.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Scegliete forme d’intrattenimento appropriate ai vostri convenuti&lt;/span&gt;: non ogni tipo d’intrattenimento è adatto a ogni pubblico. Qualcosa che potrebbe essere adatto a un piccolo gruppo di anziani manager non andrebbe bene per i vostri 100 migliori dipendenti. L’età, il sesso, lo status, il lavoro, il numero di partecipanti e il numero di ore a disposizione inevitabilmente dovrà influire nella vostra scelta.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Siate unici&lt;/span&gt;: non siate ovvi e sorprendete I vostri ospiti! In questo caso, l’opzione migliore è quella di rivolgervi a società specializzate che potranno proporvi qualcosa di unico e appropriato. Vi offriranno proposte personalizzate alle quali probabilmente non avreste mai pensato.&lt;br /&gt;Come disse Ferran Adrià (chef dell’El Bulli, il più famoso ristorante al mondo, già completamento prenotato per i prossimi 3 anni): “Se ascolti i clienti, quello che ti diranno di volere sarà basato su ciò che già conoscono. Se mi piace una buona bistecca, tu potrai servirmela, e sicuramente mi piacerà. Ma non sarà mai una esperienza da una-volta-nella-vita. Per creare queste esperienze, non si può quasi mai ascoltare il cliente”.&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt; Pianificate in anticipo&lt;/span&gt;: non parliamo soltanto di una questione di costi, ma anche di disponibilità. Prima saprete di cosa avete bisogno, più sarà facile trovare la scelta perfetta!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days ago, I was on a beach enjoying  an ice-cream with a friend, when an event-planner phoned me and asked to give him some help. I asked what he needed and he explained that he was organizing a trade-fair (open to the public), and that he simply forgot to plan any kind of entertainment. In fact, he also forgot all the sound services!&lt;br /&gt;When I asked when the fair was meant to start, he simply stated: “It already started this morning, and I’m receiving a lot of complaints from all the exhibitors! Someone also said me he’s gonna leaving if I don’t fix this!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ll leave you draw your own conclusions on this specific happening, but I’m always astonished by how many times I see that the value of entertainment is underestimated even by professionals!    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a strong communication tool, any event  has to be consistent in every and each of his parts. As such, entertainment, if appropriate, should be an integral part of your event planning.&lt;br /&gt;In particular, corporate events are extremely important to hold onto current employees and customers.  However, many people feel they may be stuck in meeting rooms all day, wasting their time with people they don’t care of.  Creating events that are inspiring and motivational is not easy, and a boring event is the last thing you want for your guests. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know: booking the right entertainment for your event is an hard job.&lt;br /&gt;You want it to really be memorable. &lt;br /&gt;You want it on a tight budget.&lt;br /&gt;And you don’t want to get worried by it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My suggestions?&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Be consistent&lt;/span&gt;: the chosen entertainment have to be fitting with the main theme of the event or simply with the theme of the night. Anything that clashes with the theme will instead be perceived as inappropriate and, moreover, may drive the attention away from your main topic.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Choose audience-appropriate entertainment&lt;/span&gt;: not every entertainment fits any audience. Something that would be appropriate for a little group of old-aged managers will not fit your best 100 employees. Age, sex, status, job, number of participants and hours available will strongly affect your choices!     &lt;br /&gt;     &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Be unique&lt;/span&gt;: don’t be obvious and surprise your guests! Your best options is to ask professional companies to help you getting something unique yet appropriate.  They will offer you custom-made proposal you would have never thought of!&lt;br /&gt;As  Ferran Adrià (chef at El Bulli, the most famous restaurant in the world, already fully reserved for the next 3 years) said: “If you listen to customers, what they tell you they want will be based on something they already know. If I like a good steak, you can serve that to me, and I’ll enjoy it. But it will never be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Ma, inaspettatamente, è anche un mese molto impegnativo nel nostro ufficio: abbiamo già 3 eventi programmati per i prossimi giorni, e stiamo ricevendo una caterva di richieste per i prossimi mesi. &lt;br /&gt;In queste condizioni stressanti, e contando solo gli ultimi giorni, ho visto musicisti provare i loro nuovi, pesantissimi costumi barocchi (parrucche bianche incluse) per la nostra prossima Festa Barocca, danzatori percorrere oltre 50 km al giorno per fare le prove, i miei colleghi restare in ufficio molto oltre l’orario d’ufficio, scenografi lavorare duramente sotto un sole cocente, e tutto il nostro staff part-time supportarci in ogni modo possibile. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E tutti senza perdere mai il loro sorriso. Mai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ora, che finalmente mi trovo sdraiato nel mio letto, stanco ma soddisfatto, improvvisamente mi rendo conto che il mio è proprio il tipo di team che ho sempre sognato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grazie, ragazzi. Sono orgoglioso di essere una parte della vostra squadra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I’m proud.&lt;br /&gt;It’s August, and, in Sicily, we are experiencing a very hot summer. But, incredibly, it’s also a busy month in our office: we have already 3 events planned in the next few days, and we are also receiving a lot of requests for events to be held in the next months.&lt;br /&gt;Under this stressing conditions, in the last few days, I’ve seen musicians trying on their new, heavy baroque costumes (white wigs included!) for our next baroque party, dancers traveling over 50 km per day to have their rehearsals, my colleagues staying in the office well out of their business hours, set-designers working hard under a burning sun, and all of our part-time staff supporting us in a lot of different ways. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And all of them never loosed their smiles. Never.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, finally lying down on my bed, tired but satisfied, I abruptly realized that mine is the kind of team I always dreamed of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks, guys.

Da “La divisa” a “il contratto”, da “il briefing” a un pratico “glossario dei termini congressuali più in uso”, ogni aspetto di questo lavoro è stato brillantemente sviscerato in appena 65 pagine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un grande libro per hostess e Stewart. Ma anche un pratico promemoria per ogni meeting professional che si rispetti.&lt;br /&gt;Altamente raccomandato!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ivana Termine, Ceo of Finivest Congressi, is one the most well-known and successful  professional congress organizer in Italy, with over 20 years of experience in the meeting planning field.&lt;br /&gt;I recently had the pleasure to have a close look at her way of working, and I have to say I was really impressed by her extraordinary attention to detail and thorough overall planning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I couldn’t be more curious about her book “Manuale per Assistenti congressuali”!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book was written with hostesses (and stewarts) in mind, as a practical and precious guide for their work. From “the uniform” to “the contract”, and from “the briefing” to a practical “meetings and events glossary”, every and each aspect of this job is fully covered in just 65 pages. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A great book for hostesses and stewarts. And a practical reminder for any meeting professionals.&lt;br /&gt;Highly recommended!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-6483897334144123845?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/6483897334144123845/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=6483897334144123845&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/6483897334144123845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/6483897334144123845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/07/review-manuale-per-assistenti.html' title='Review: “Manuale per Assistenti congressuali”, di Ivana Termine (Marcello Clausi Editore, 2008)'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SltmUy9hwfI/AAAAAAAAASo/aqU435WRlJY/s72-c/mac.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-7698204879205376084</id><published>2009-07-13T17:32:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-07-13T17:34:52.758+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>Experience and mistakes</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"L'esperienza è quella cosa meravigliosa che ti permette di riconoscere un errore quando lo farai di nuovo"&lt;/span&gt; (Franklin P.

A volte, addirittura, soprattutto nel caso di grandi aziende, è praticamente inevitabile.&lt;br /&gt;Quindi, cosa si può fare per evitare gli effetti negativi indicati nello studio? Si necessitano strategie concrete di management e di leadership. &lt;br /&gt;Il punto chiave è la comunicazione.&lt;br /&gt;La comunicazione fra collaboratori distanti non è altrettanto efficace (più del 50% della comunicazione di realizza per vie non verbali) e minimizza la fiducia e i rapporti fra membri di uno stesso team. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miei suggerimenti?&lt;br /&gt;- Prima di iniziare un lavoro, organizzate un incontro con tutte le persone coinvolte nel progetto in circostanze piacevoli e rilassate, in modo da permettere alle persone di conoscersi tra di loro e di stabilire relazioni piacevoli e positive;&lt;br /&gt;- Rendete chiare le vostre aspettative e stabilite delle deadlines;&lt;br /&gt;- Organizzate periodici incontri dal vivo con tutti i membri di un progetto, per aumentare la loro fiducia reciproca e farli sentire parte di una squadra: devono sapere (e SENTIRE) che il loro lavoro influenza quello di tutti gli altri membri del team;&lt;br /&gt;- Se potete, organizzate periodicamente anche incontri dal vivo con TUTTE le persone che lavora nella vostra organizzazione e hanno una qualche relazione lavorativa, anche se queste persone non lavorano attualmente allo stesso progetto: questo aiuta a costruire fiducia nella vostra organizzazione, a motivare dipendenti e stakeholder, e a condividere un senso di appartenenza allo stesso business.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vitalsmarts.com/"&gt;VitalSmarts&lt;/a&gt;, a corporate-training organization, ran a study that surveyed 500 people on this topic. &lt;br /&gt; The results? “Working remotely causes 243 percent more problems” and “the most common means of coping with the effects of distance are not only destructive to working relationships, they are also destructive to overall productivity”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Specifically, according to the study:&lt;br /&gt;- 13 out of 14 common workplace relationship problems occur far more frequently within “virtual teams” (teams with members scattered across various geographies) than within teams located in the same building;&lt;br /&gt;- Problems with remote colleagues are significantly more difficult to solve and last longer than with on‐site colleagues;&lt;br /&gt;- When facing a challenge with a remote colleague, workers either use “silent” strategies (delaying or not responding to calls and e-mails) or verbally attack them (criticizing them to others, gossiping, complaining, challenging the colleagues’ decisions).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this the end line?&lt;br /&gt;I don’t think so: telecommuting have proven to be a needful tool. Sometimes, especially with big companies, it is also a compulsory choice. &lt;br /&gt;So, what can we do to avoid the negative effects listed above? We do need effective management and leadership strategies. &lt;br /&gt;The key point here is Communication. &lt;br /&gt;Communication between long distant co-workers is not as effective (more than 50% of communication is non-verbal) and minimize trust and rapport between team members.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;My suggestions?&lt;br /&gt;- Before starting, organize a meeting with all the people involved in the project in relaxed circumstances, to make them know each other and establish kind relationships; &lt;br /&gt;- Make clear your expectations and establish deadlines; &lt;br /&gt;- Plan periodical live meetings with all the members of a project, to improve their trust in each other and make them really feel part of a team: they will have to know (and FEEL) that their work will influence the work of the other members of the team!&lt;br /&gt;- If you can, also plan periodical live meeting with ALL the people that works in your organization and have some kind of work-relationship, even if this people actually do not work at the same project: this will help build trust in your organization, motivate your employee and stakeholders, and share a sense of belonging to the same business.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La XVIII assemblea annual di MPI Italia Chapter sta finalmente arrivando, e quest’anno la location prescelta è Acireale, in Sicilia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo devo ammettere: sono un po’ nervoso! Come orgoglioso sponsor dell’evento, stiamo progettando un’attività per i partecipanti: il nostro tour &lt;a href="http://www.azimutonline.com/?section=produzioniScheda&amp;titoloCategoria=Teambuilding&amp;id=4"&gt;“Le Città Invisibili”&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Questo è uno dei nostri format più popolari: una caccia al tesoro fotografica pensata appositamente per permettere ai partecipanti di scoprire monumenti e leggende di una città, divertendosi nel contempo nello svolgere rapide sfide e fotografando l’intera esperienza. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abbiamo replicato questo format così tante volte da renderlo un classico (&lt;a href="http://www.azimutonline.com/?section=produzioniScheda&amp;titoloCategoria=Teambuilding&amp;id=4"&gt;“Le Città Invisibili”&lt;/a&gt; sarà inserito nel libro di prossima uscita “Le 101 cose da fare in Sicilia almeno una volta nella vita” – Newton Compton editore), quindi, perché questo nervosismo?&lt;br /&gt;Questa volta, i nostri ospiti saranno influenti professionisti del mondo MICE. So che le loro aspettative sono molto alte, e sicuramente non accetteranno con piacere nessun intoppo…&lt;br /&gt;Insomma, incrociate le dita per noi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Link utili&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mpiweb.it/"&gt;MPI Italia chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mpiweb.it/PDF/Assemblea_2009/18a_assemblea_MPI_Italia_Chapter.pdf"&gt;Scarica il programma dell’Assemblea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The XVIII MPI Italia Chapter annual assembly is finally coming, and this year the chosen location is Acireale, in Sicily.&lt;br /&gt;I’ve got to admit it: I’m a bit nervous! As a proud sponsor of the event, we are planning a “game” for the participants: our &lt;a href="http://www.azimutonline.com/en/?section=produzioniScheda&amp;titoloCategoria=Teambuilding&amp;id=4"&gt;"The Invisible Cities"&lt;/a&gt; city tour. &lt;br /&gt;This is one of our most popular formats: a photo-treasure-hunt thought up to allow the participants to discover monuments and legends of a city, while performing fun tasks and taking pictures of the whole experience!&lt;br /&gt;We have repeated this format so many times it has become a classic (&lt;a href="http://www.azimutonline.com/en/?section=produzioniScheda&amp;titoloCategoria=Teambuilding&amp;id=4"&gt;“The Invisible Cities”&lt;/a&gt; will also proudly appear in the upcoming book “the 101 things to do in Sicily at least once in your life” – publishing house: Newton Compton), so, why am I nervous? &lt;br /&gt;This time, our guests will all be influent MICE professionals. I do know their expectations are really high, and they won’t admit any fault…&lt;br /&gt;Keep your finger crossed for us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Useful links&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mpiweb.it/"&gt;MPI Italia chapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mpiweb.it/PDF/Assemblea_2009/18a_assemblea_MPI_Italia_Chapter.pdf"&gt;Download the Assembly program&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-7986844940963029352?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/7986844940963029352/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=7986844940963029352&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/7986844940963029352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/7986844940963029352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/06/la-xviii-assemblea-annual-di-mpi-italia.html' title='XVIII Assemblea annuale MPI Italia Chapter'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SkTtVB3wOyI/AAAAAAAAASQ/2--ngTtDGMg/s72-c/impronta.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-5443843725115929880</id><published>2009-06-24T14:41:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-24T14:42:46.852+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Reviews'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Formazione e team building'/><title type='text'>Review:  “Quick team-building activities for busy managers”, by Brian Cole Miller (Amacom, 2003)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SkItJ9A9LbI/AAAAAAAAASA/wGnuc2JvNog/s1600-h/081447201X.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 201px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SkItJ9A9LbI/AAAAAAAAASA/wGnuc2JvNog/s320/081447201X.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350888956290215346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrò dritto al punto: questo libro non è stato scritto per professionisti del team-building, della motivazione o semplicemente della formazione, se questo è ciò che state cercando.&lt;br /&gt;Come suggerisce il titolo, e l’autore ribadisce nell’introduzione “questo libro è stato scritto per il manager indaffarato che voglia aggiungere un elemento di team-building a un meeting”. Il volume è organizzato in due parti: la prima contiene le “istruzioni fondamentali”; la seconda consiste di 50 esercizi descritti con un sistema ad elenco puntato. Quindi è proprio questo che dovete aspettarvi: attività semplici e veloci che promettono “risultati in 15 minuti”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La mia opinione? &lt;br /&gt;Troverete molte recensioni positive su Amazon.com. Ma io non sono d’accordo con nessuna di esse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perché?&lt;br /&gt;- E’ davvero possibile aspettarsi risultati in meno di 15 minuti? NO! Sarebbe un miracolo, altro che attività di team-building!&lt;br /&gt;- La maggior parte delle attività proposte mancano di creatività e coinvolgimento, quindi potrebbero facilmente essere interpretate come  “un ennesimo test”, invalidando il valore dell’esperienza.&lt;br /&gt;- Il libro non contiene informazioni su cosa sia il teambuilding: è una collezione di attività e suggerimenti su come gestirle. Ma senza una profonda comprensione delle dinamiche coinvolte, il rischio è di non ottenere risultati o (peggio) di provocare diversi fastidiosi “effetti collaterali”.&lt;br /&gt;- Questo libro suggerisce che si possa gestire un’attività di team-building per il proprio team. Ma questa è solo una pia illusione, se non si è dei formatori professionisti. Prima di tutto, è facile apparire arroganti o presuntuosi. Inoltre in queste condizioni il vostro team potrebbe essere tentato dal modificare deliberatamente il proprio comportamento solo per cercare di compiacervi e impressionarvi! &lt;br /&gt;- Infine, se sei un manager, sei una PARTE del team. Quindi, hai bisogno di prendere parte all’attività, non di fungere da facilitatore, o altrimenti i risultati saranno inesorabilmente inutili!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Quick team-building activities for busy managers” non vi trasformerà  in un professionista del teambuilding o della motivazione. Non che qualsiasi altro libro possa farlo, sia chiaro. &lt;br /&gt;E, se sei un “manager indaffarato” come il libro suggerisce, è molto probabile che tu sia un esperto in un altro campo… Affideresti il tuo ruolo a qualcuino solo perché ha letto un libro intitolato “Management veloce per gente impegnata”? Permettereste a un uomo che ha appena letto “carpenteria per imbranati” di costruire la vostra casa?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se sei un professionista del settore, non buttare il tuo tempo e I tuoi soldi in questo libro.&lt;br /&gt;Se sei un manager impegnato, fatti un favore: chiedi aiuto a un professionista.&lt;br /&gt;Se hai bisogno d’aiuto per qualche serio problema, un professionista è la sola soluzione; e se hai soltanto bisogno (o voglia) di migliorare l’atmosfera lavorativa o di dare una regolata a qualche piccolo problema, ogni vero professionista sarà ben lieto di darti qualche consiglio veloce e semplice. Gratis, per di più!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will go right to the point: this book was not written for a team-building, motivational or training professional, if this is what you are looking for. &lt;br /&gt;As the title suggests and the author himself says in the introduction “this book is written for the busy manager who wants to add an element of team-building to a meeting”. The volume is organized into two parts: the first one is “instructional”; the second one consists of bullet-pointed presentations of fifty exercises. So this is what you have to expect: easy, quick activities that promise “results in 15 minuts”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What’s my opinion? &lt;br /&gt;You can read a lot of positive reviews on Amazon.com. I do not agree with anyone of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;br /&gt;- Can you really expect results in less than 15 minutes? NO! It would be a miracle, not a team-building activity! &lt;br /&gt;- Most of the activities lacks in creativity and excitement, so they may easily be interpreted as “just another mind test”, invalidating the experience. &lt;br /&gt;- This book do not contains any real information about what teambuilding is: it is a collection of activities and suggestions on how to play them. Without any real understanding of the dynamics involved, your risk is to obtain nothing, or (worst!) to suffer from various “collateral effects”.&lt;br /&gt;- This book suggest that you can manage a team building activity for your own team. But this is a mirage, if you are a not a training professional. First of all, it’s easy to appear arrogant and presumptuous. Also in this conditions your team may be tempted to falsify their reaction just to favorably impress you!&lt;br /&gt;- Finally, if you are a manager, you are PART of your team. So, you need to be a part of the activity, not the facilitator, or else the results will be inexorably useless! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Quick team-building activities for busy managers” will not turn you into a teambuilding or motivation professional. Not that any other single book would. And, if you are a “busy manager” as the title suggests, it very likeable that you are a certified expert in something else… will you entrust someone to play your role just because he have read a book titled “quick management for busy people”?  Would you permit a man who has just read “carpentry for dummies” to build your house?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are a professional, don’t waste your time and money on this book.&lt;br /&gt;If you are a busy manager, do yourself a favor: ask a professional. &lt;br /&gt;If you need help for some major issue, professionals are the only solution; and, if you just want to improve the working atmosphere or need help for some minor problem, each real professional will be glad to give you some quick and easy hint.

Un algoritmo, una formula matematica che tiene conto di molteplici fattori (salario, curriculum, indagini interne) per identificare quali tra gli oltre 20.000 dipendenti di Google ha più probabilità di lasciare il proprio lavoro.&lt;br /&gt;L’algoritmo di Google aiuta la società a “entrare nelle menti delle persone prima ancora che loro sappiano di volere lasciare il lavoro”, ha scritto letteralmente il Journal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La prima volta che ho letto l’articolo, ne sono rimasto incuriosito. E’ possibile calcolare matematicamente il comportamento di una persona? La natura umana è prevedibile? Io penso di no.&lt;br /&gt;Quindi non stiamo trattando semplicemente di lavoro.&lt;br /&gt;Stiamo parlando della natura intima dell’uomo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bene, cosa penso?&lt;br /&gt;Ci sono molti fattori coinvolti nel trattenere e motivare i dipendenti (basti pensare ai &lt;a href="http://www.valuebasedmanagement.net/methods_herzberg_two_factor_theory.html"&gt;fattori di Herzberg&lt;/a&gt; per capire cosa intendo). Molti di questi non possono essere “calcolati”.&lt;br /&gt;Solo un uomo può capire un altro uomo… è una questione di connessione umana!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non fraintendetemi: apprezzo la volontà di Google di prevenire perdite nelle sue risorse umane, e stanno mettendo a punto uno strumento che potrebbe essere utile per rilevare cosa non funziona. &lt;br /&gt;Ma, ovviamente, questa non è la soluzione. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ascoltare e Motivare: questa è la soluzione!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was just yesterday that I was asked my opinion about Google inc. attempt to stop the brain-drain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the ones who don’t know what I’m talking about, Laszlo Bock, human resources manager at Google inc. recently released an &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124269038041932531.html"&gt;interview&lt;/a&gt; to the &lt;a href="http://europe.wsj.com"&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/a&gt; about the company concerns about talent exodus. &lt;br /&gt;His solution? An algorithm, a mathematical formula that takes into account a lot of factors (salary, curriculum, surveys, ecc.) to identify which of Google’s 20.000 recruits are to be expected to leave their job.&lt;br /&gt;Google's algorithm helps the company "get inside people's heads even before they know they might leave", has been literally wrote in the Journal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first time I read this article, I was simply curious. Is it really possible to mathematically calculate each person’s behavior? Is human nature predictable? I do think not. &lt;br /&gt;So this topic is not really about a job. &lt;br /&gt;It’s about human nature. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, what do I think?&lt;br /&gt;There are a lot of factors involved in retaining and motivating employees (have a look at &lt;a href="http://www.valuebasedmanagement.net/methods_herzberg_two_factor_theory.html"&gt;Herzberg’s factors&lt;/a&gt; to understand what I mean). Most of them can’t be “calculated”. &lt;br /&gt;You need a man to understand another man… it’s all about human connection! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t make me wrong: I appreciate Google’s ambition to prevent human-resources loss, and they are building up a tool that may be useful to find out what’s wrong. &lt;br /&gt;But obviously this is not the solution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listening and Motivating: this is the solution! &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-1670477762301353621?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/1670477762301353621/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=1670477762301353621&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/1670477762301353621'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/1670477762301353621'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/06/google-searches-for-staffing-answers.html' title='Google Searches for Staffing Answers'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SjuCJZ03bXI/AAAAAAAAAR4/8e3fhibZdRE/s72-c/tempi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-1151593582064626904</id><published>2009-06-15T13:36:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-15T13:36:00.554+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>Creativity &amp; Art</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Creatività è permettersi di fare errori.

“Professional Event Coordination”potrebbe essere la vostra scelta migliore!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il libro investiga l’intero processo di event planning e fornisce gli strumenti per pianificare, organizzare e monitorare quasi ogni tipo di happening sociale o business. In 15 capitoli, da “Anatomia di un Evento” a “Strategie per il Successo”, il volume copre argomenti importanti come l’event-design, la selezione della location, la gestione dei partecipanti, intrattenimento e sicurezza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il libro contiene inoltre diverse checklist, tabelle e figure, dei box denominati “On Site Insight” (nei quali stimati professionisti condividono esperienze a loro accadute) e pratici esercizi (utili per l’esame per la certificazione CSEP - Certified Special Event Professional ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo so, sembra quasi una pubblicità, ma devo ammettere che il libro mi ha profondamente colpito:  se stai iniziando, questo libro è assolutamente da avere, e anche se sei un esperto professionista, il volume è un perfetto punto di riferimento.  &lt;br /&gt;--- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you looking for a very good event planning “how to”, written in plain English? &lt;br /&gt;“Professional Event Coordination” may be your best choice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book investigates the full event planning process and provides the tools to plan, organize, and monitor almost any kind of business or social happening. In 15 chapters, from “Anatomy of an Event” to “Strategies for Success”, the volume covers important topics such as event design, site selection, audience management, entertainment and safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will also find inside the book a lot of handy checklists, tables and figures, the “On Site Insight” boxes (that share interesting true stories as told by professionals) and practical Exercises (useful for the CSEP – Certified Special Event Professional - exam).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know, it sounds like a commercial, but I’m really impressed: If you are just starting out, this book is a must have, and if you are an established professional, the volume€ is still a great reference!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-5313156839051287880?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/5313156839051287880/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=5313156839051287880&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/5313156839051287880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/5313156839051287880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/06/review-professional-event-coordination.html' title='Review: “Professional Event Coordination”, by Julia Rutherford Silvers (Wiley, 2005)'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SiPzzsd4MVI/AAAAAAAAARo/r1bysaoisrM/s72-c/cover_event_coord.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-8839422922870891063</id><published>2009-06-01T15:35:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-06-01T16:48:25.787+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marketing'/><title type='text'>Did the right thing... and now?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing"&lt;/span&gt; (John D.

La maggior parte di loro, molto semplicemente, non sanno nemmeno di cosa si stia parlando: vogliono soltanto convincervi ad acquistare i loro servizi usando come strumento una “parola alla moda”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se volete semplicemente condividere un’esperienza divertente con i vostri stakeholder, queste società potrebbero comunque fare al caso vostro (ma, per piacere, non chiamate queste attività “team building”).&lt;br /&gt;Tuttavia, se davvero avete bisogno di un’esperienza motivazionale o di team building, deve essere svolta da una società con esperienza nel campo. Non sprecate il vostro denaro!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come separare il grano dal loglio? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1) Verificate le loro referenze&lt;/span&gt;: Molte società hanno una lista dei loro clienti direttamente sul proprio sito. Altrimenti, non abbiate timore a chiederla! Inoltre, date un’occhiata a foto e video di eventi passati (e verificate che siano davvero loro, quelle foto!!!)… questo vi dirà se stanno partendo ora (usando la vostra società come un’esperienza d’apprendimento per loro stessi) o se sono una società seria e affidabile. Per la stessa ragione, chiedete loro da quanto tempo lavorano nel campo…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2) Chiedete cosa è il team building&lt;/span&gt;: Se sono veri professionisti, saranno ben felici di parlarvi della teoria che sta dietro il teambuilding, e perlomeno vi spiegheranno qualcosa delle teorie di Maslow, Herzberg, Tuckman… se non lo faranno, la verità, probabilmente, è che non sanno di cosa stanno parlando!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3) Fornite un breve brief, e attendete&lt;/span&gt;: Se non vi chiedono nulla, probabilmente non sanno cosa chiedere! Un’agenzia seria vi domanderà invece molte cose: ad esempio, il numero, l’età e il sesso dei partecipanti, informazioni su passate esperienze, cosa volete comunicare, che skill volete migliorare o testare (team building, comunicazione, problem solving, leadership, fiducia, ecc.). Queste domande non possono essere evitate se davvero volete un’esperienza formativa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Team building" has become a buzz word for all kinds of service providers in the MICE world: from wineries to entertainment companies to 4WD drivers. Most of them, simply don’t even know the meaning of what they are selling: they just want to take your money using a “fancy word” as a marketing tool! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you just want to share a fun experience with your stakeholders, so, after all, these companies may be a good choice (but, please, don’t call these activities “teambuilding”). However, if you really need a motivational or team building experience, it must be delivered by a company with training expertise. Don’t waste your money on anything else!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to separate wheat from the chaff?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1) Check their references&lt;/span&gt;: Many companies put their client-lists on their web sites. Otherwise, ask them to send it to you. Also, check for photos and videos of their past events (and check they really are theirs!)… This will tell you if they are just starting out (and using your company as a learning experience for them!) or if they are a serious, established company. For the same reason, ask them how long have them been in the industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2) Ask them what is team-building about&lt;/span&gt;: If they are real professionals, they will be glad to tell you about team-building theory, and at least will tell you something about Maslow, Herzberg, Tuckman… otherwise, the truth is they simply don’t know anything about it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3) Give them a short brief, and wait&lt;/span&gt;: If they don’t ask anything, probably they don’t know what to ask! A serious team building company will instead ask you a lot of things: number, age and sex of participants, any past experience you had, what do you want to convey, which skills do you want to improve or test (team building, communication, problem solving, leadership, trust, etc.). These questions cannot be skipped if you really want an educational experience!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-6242046611991896297?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/6242046611991896297/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=6242046611991896297&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/6242046611991896297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/6242046611991896297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-select-team-building-company.html' title='How to select a team building company?'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/Shva3Bdq6cI/AAAAAAAAARg/u1aNi7dwmLc/s72-c/2007-09-04-team-building.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-8909230708010311773</id><published>2009-05-26T10:57:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-27T19:09:54.380+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Semplicemente altro...'/><title type='text'>HABEMUS SITUS!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/ShvU5eByJ8I/AAAAAAAAARY/ppI-ie3nEJk/s1600-h/Senza+titolo-3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 126px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/ShvU5eByJ8I/AAAAAAAAARY/ppI-ie3nEJk/s320/Senza+titolo-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340095866956031938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dopo oltre cinque anni nel settore, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Azimut – &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;creating emotions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ha aggiornato radicalmente logo, brand image e sito web (qui sopra potete ammirare uno dei primi schizzi del nostro nuovo logo).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A dire la verità, il vecchio sito non rappresentava più la nostra società già da tempo, ma siamo tutti stati troppo impegnati per aggiornarlo. Lo so, lo so: è un peccato mortale, soprattutto se lavori nell’industria della comunicazione… Vergogna!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il nuovo sito bilingue (italiano e inglese) è quindi stato messo online ufficialmente oggi, con nuove foto, video e contenuti, proprio nello stesso giorno in cui parte &lt;a href="http://www.imex-frankfurt.com/"&gt;IMEX&lt;/a&gt; (una delle principali fiere mondiali nel settore dell’incentive travel, dei meeting e degli eventi)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speriamo che questo ci porti buona fortuna!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.azimutonline.com"&gt;www.azimutonline.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: ringraziamo &lt;a href="http://www.bluestonesicily.com/"&gt;Bluestone T.O.&lt;/a&gt; per il permesso di pubblicare video delle nostre produzioni messe in scena durante eventi prodotti per loro.

I know, I know: it’s a deadly sin, especially if you work in the communication industry! Shame on us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new bilingual (English and Italian) edition of our website has been officially put online today, with new videos, photos and contents, on the same day &lt;a href="http://www.imex-frankfurt.com/"&gt;IMEX &lt;/a&gt;(one of the best worldwide exhibition for incentive travel, meetings and events) starts!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope this will bring us good luck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.azimutonline.com"&gt;www.azimutonline.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: we thank &lt;a href="http://www.bluestonesicily.com/"&gt;Bluestone T.O.&lt;/a&gt; for the permission granted to publish videos of some of our productions shot during events we ran for them.

Scrivete una nota di ringraziamento, fornite notizie e fate domande ai vostri clienti. Sapranno che vi interessa di loro, e si potrebbero presentare opportunità inaspettate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2) Cominciare a cercare nuovi mercati subito&lt;/span&gt;. La professoressa Kanter scrive: “Le compagnie dipendenti su pochi, grandi client sono particolarmente vulnerabili ai cambiamenti nelle fortune di questi clienti, ma tutte le società necessitano della flessibilità di muoversi rapidamente in nuovi mercati promettenti. In tempi incerti, i manager dovrebbero aumentare gli sforzi nell’identificare nuovi usi per i prodotti aziendali e fonti addizionali di clienti per il futuro.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3) Investire nel morale dei dipendenti&lt;/span&gt;. Ancora una volta, la professoressa Kanter ha scritto: “quando i dipendenti temono per il proprio posto di lavoro, le preoccupazioni economiche per la propria famiglia prosciugano le loro energie e aumentano la tentazione di restare a casa con le scuse più banali. Quando il morale è basso, la produttività e l’attenzione ai clienti ne risentono, proprio nel momento in cui si necessitano zero difetti, un’efficiente lavoro di squadra, e voci amichevoli a gestire le domande dei clienti.”&lt;br /&gt;Amen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;4) Enfatizzare e premiare le piccole vittorie&lt;/span&gt;. In una recessione, piccolo migliorie che possono essere implementate facilmente e velocemente (ad esempio, idee capaci di fare risparmiare su qualcosa, o di promuovere il business) sono altrettanti importanti delle grandi idee che però necessitano un più grande investimento in termini di tempo e denaro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;5) Rimanere saldi sui propri valori&lt;/span&gt;. Non fate nulla di cui poi vi pentirete: niente compromessi con la vostra etica e policy aziendale, niente merchandise scadente, niente menzogne ai vostri clienti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leggete l’intero articolo (in inglese) &lt;a href="http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/kanter/2009/04/in-a-recession-put-everyone-in.html?cm_re=homepage-041409-_-lede-_-headline"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosabeth_Moss_Kanter"&gt;Rosabeth Moss Kanter&lt;/a&gt;(professor at the Harvard Business School; named in The Times of London list of the “50 most powerful women in the world”) wrote a few weeks ago an interesting article about the actual recession we are experiencing worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She offers five simple suggestions, and I do agree with her on all of them: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1) Increase customer contact and communication&lt;/span&gt;. Write a thank you note, provide news and ask questions to your customers. They will know you care, and you might encounter unexpected opportunities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2) Start looking for new markets now&lt;/span&gt;. Prof Kanter wrote: “Companies dependent on a few large customers are particularly vulnerable to changes in their customers' fortunes, but all companies need the flexibility to move quickly into promising markets. In uncertain times, managers should increase efforts to identify additional uses for company products and additional sources of customers for the future.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3) Invest in employee morale&lt;/span&gt;. Again, prof Kanter noted: “When employees fear for their jobs, worries about family finances drain energy and increase the temptation to stay home on the slightest excuse. When morale is down, productivity and attention to customers suffer, right at the time that you most need zero defects, efficient teamwork, and cheerful voices handling customer questions.” &lt;br /&gt;Amen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;4) Emphasize and reward small wins&lt;/span&gt;. In a time of recession, small improvements that can be easily and quickly implemented (cost-saving or promotional ideas, for example) are as important as the big ideas that are more demanding in terms of money and time investment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;5) Stick with your values&lt;/span&gt;. Don’t do anything you will regret later: no compromise with your ethics and policy, no poor merchandise, no lies to your customers.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Read the full article &lt;a href="http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/kanter/2009/04/in-a-recession-put-everyone-in.html?cm_re=homepage-041409-_-lede-_-headline"&gt;here &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-4377054599224991947?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/4377054599224991947/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=4377054599224991947&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/4377054599224991947'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/4377054599224991947'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/05/in-recession-put-everyone-in-marketing.html' title='In a Recession, Put Everyone in Marketing'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/Sg85ANHOtwI/AAAAAAAAARQ/ByzGxYmZDYw/s72-c/recession-2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-4327863414591922797</id><published>2009-05-12T11:11:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-12T11:31:50.376+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Formazione e team building'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eventi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Incentive'/><title type='text'>Global economic crisis and the motivational industry</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SglP9Fz-azI/AAAAAAAAARI/mFsuu_TtizY/s1600-h/3141139302_45d5b3b0a6_o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 223px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SglP9Fz-azI/AAAAAAAAARI/mFsuu_TtizY/s320/3141139302_45d5b3b0a6_o.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334883144547855154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La settimana scorsa, un nostro cliente, CEO di una grande società europea, mi ha detto:&lt;br /&gt;“E’ un momento di crisi economica e finanziaria globale.&lt;br /&gt;Anche se a qualcuno piacerebbe minimizzarla, non è una cosa che possiamo ignorare.&lt;br /&gt;Non se guidi un’azienda di qualsiasi dimensione, ma neanche se nei sei dipendente o un qualsiasi stakeholder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cosa succederà? La mia predizione? Selezione naturale.&lt;br /&gt;Le aziende dovranno evolvere o estinguersi.&lt;br /&gt;Questo ci lascerà con le sole organizzazioni più furbe ed efficienti.&lt;br /&gt;In effetti, per sopravvivere, ora più che mai avremo bisogno di motivare e ispirare i nostri stakeholder.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ascoltare queste parole mi ricordò qualcosa che avevo letto qualche mese prima.&lt;br /&gt;Steve O'Malley (Vice President Strategy, Practice and Industry Relations - Maritz Travel Company) scrisse sugli eventi d’incentivazione e motivazionali: &lt;br /&gt;“Ora più che mai, le aziende lottano per trattenere le loro migliori forze vendite e i migliori clienti. Una crescente lealtà e impegno da parte di dipendenti e clienti, e trattenere i talenti, sono tutti risultati provati di questo genere di investimenti.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Si, sono d’accordo con entrambi. &lt;br /&gt;Alcune aziende periranno in questo periodo, e questo includerà Incentive-house, organizzatori di eventi, PCO, se non saranno in grado di dimostrarsi un investimento proficuo. &lt;br /&gt;Dovranno dimostrare di essere in grado di motivare, comunicare, ispirare, e, in generale, migliorare il business dei loro clienti. Probabilmente, dovranno implementare il loro know-how nei campi della motivazione e della comunicazione e/o creare fitte collaborazioni con aziende capaci di espandere le loro competenze principali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non c’è più spazio per attività e investimenti improduttivi.&lt;br /&gt;Siete pronti per questa nuova sfida?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week, a client of us, a CEO of a big european company, told me: &lt;br /&gt;“This is a time of global economic and financial crisis. &lt;br /&gt;Even if someone would like to minimize it, it is a thing that couldn’t be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;Not if you are driving a business company of any size, nor if you are just an employee or a stakeholder. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What will happen? My prediction? Natural selection. &lt;br /&gt;Companies will have to evolve or perish. &lt;br /&gt;These will leave us with just the smarter, fitter organizations.&lt;br /&gt;In fact, to survive, now more than ever we do need to motivate and inspire our stakeholders.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listening to his words reminded me of something I read a few months ago. &lt;br /&gt;Steve O'Malley (Vice President Strategy, Practice and Industry Relations - Maritz Travel Company) wrote about Incentive and Motivational events: “Now more than ever, companies are battling to retain their top sales talent and customers. Increasing loyalty and commitment of employees and customers, and retaining talent, are all proven outcomes of these investments.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I do agree with both of them. &lt;br /&gt;Some companies will perish in this period, and this will include Incentive houses, event planners, PCOs, if they will not be able to prove to be a rewarding investment. &lt;br /&gt;They have to demonstrate to be able to motivate, communicate, inspire and improve the business of their clients. Probably, they will need to improve their know-how in the motivation and communication fields and/or merge with companies able to expand their core competencies.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no more space for unproductive activities and investments. &lt;br /&gt;Are you ready for this new challenge?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-4327863414591922797?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/4327863414591922797/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=4327863414591922797&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/4327863414591922797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/4327863414591922797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/05/global-economic-crisis-and-motivational.html' title='Global economic crisis and the motivational industry'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SglP9Fz-azI/AAAAAAAAARI/mFsuu_TtizY/s72-c/3141139302_45d5b3b0a6_o.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-4803963166776771997</id><published>2009-05-11T08:47:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-11T10:26:36.612+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>What makes a civilization works?</title><content type='html'>"&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Individual commitment to a group effort, that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;(Vince Lombardi)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-4803963166776771997?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/4803963166776771997/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=4803963166776771997&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/4803963166776771997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/4803963166776771997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-makes-civilization-works.html' title='What makes a civilization works?'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-2060341704622382430</id><published>2009-05-07T17:13:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-05-07T17:32:04.424+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Creatività e Comunicazione'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Formazione e team building'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eventi'/><title type='text'>Looking for a job in the event-planning field?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SgMM0hyKPdI/AAAAAAAAARA/h_9hz0NOZB4/s1600-h/Olympics---Closing-Ceremony-82534778.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Negli ultimi anni, comunque, sono fioriti master e corsi (perlopiù privati) legati a questo mondo, ma non sempre in grado di formare professionisti preparati. &lt;br /&gt;Per quanto riguarda gli studi, partono comunque avvantaggiati i laureati in corsi legati alla comunicazione, al turismo, al marketing e alla formazione. &lt;br /&gt;Ovviamente, una buona conoscenza della lingua inglese e di altre lingue straniere sono elementi praticamente imprescindibili, avendo continuamente a che fare con clienti, artisti e fornitori esteri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;LIBRI E RIFERIMENTI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esiste però una (non amplissima) bibliografia, per lo più in lingua inglese, per chi fosse davvero interessato a intraprendere questa carriera. Nelle prossime settimane recensirò diversi di questi testi, ma mi permetto fin da subito di consigliare, per l’ottimo approccio generalista all’argomento, due testi, entrambi scritti da stimati professionisti del settore e ideali per chi per la prima volta si apre a questo mondo: &lt;br /&gt;- In italiano: “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;La magia degli eventi&lt;/span&gt;”, di Roberta Cocco – edizioni Sperling &amp; Kupfer&lt;br /&gt;- In inglese:  “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Event Planning : The Ultimate Guide to Successful Meetings, Corporate Events, Fundraising Galas, Conferences, Conventions, Incentives and Other Special Events&lt;/span&gt;”, di Judy Allen – edizioni Wiley&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naturalmente, esistono anche molte riviste di settore, utilissime per tenersi aggiornati sullo stato dell’arte del settore: per l’Italia, cito soltanto “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;MICE&lt;/span&gt;” (BEMA editrice), “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Meeting &amp; Congressi&lt;/span&gt;” e “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Incentivare&lt;/span&gt;” (Ediman editrice), “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Convegni&lt;/span&gt;” (Convegni Editore), ed “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;E20&lt;/span&gt;” (AdC – Agenzia della Comunicazione editore). Queste riviste non sono reperibili in edicola, ma solo tramite sottoscrizione presso l’editore.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;E POI?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probabilmente, le caratteristiche davvero necessarie non sono però quelle che si possono imparare sui libri: è necessaria infatti un’innata creatività, una certa capacità relazionale, una predisposizione alla pianificazione e progettazione d’insieme e del dettaglio, e una spontanea curiosità verso tutto ciò che ci circonda, e in particolare verso musica, teatro, cinema, e ogni forma d’arte e di comunicazione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per il resto, a mio parere, come negli antichi mestieri artigiani, il modo migliore per imparare rimane quello di andare sul campo, affrontando una lunga gavetta alle spalle di un competente professionista. &lt;br /&gt;Certe cose si imparano solo sporcandosi le mani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just after the seminar I ran for the University of Catania (you can find the entire post &lt;a href="http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/04/motivation-teambuilding-and.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;), I received some emails asking me for more information about the qualifications and skills needed to work in my field.&lt;br /&gt;What an embarrassing question! &lt;br /&gt;To be a lawyer you have to study law, and to be a doctor you have to study medicine.  &lt;br /&gt;What about the event-planning field?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;STUDIES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Italy do not exist any related university faculty, as far as I know. In the last few years, anyway, there has been a flowering of courses and post-graduation master courses related to our world, but not always that’s enough to form skilled professionals. &lt;br /&gt;So, about the studies, will be advantaged people who has a degree related to the communication, tourism, marketing and (motivational) training fields. Obviously, a good knowledge of the English language and any other foreign language is almost compulsory, as you will have to relate with foreign clients, artists and suppliers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;BOOKS AND REFERENCES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, does exist a (not so wide) bibliography, mostly in English, useful if you are really interested in undertaking this career. In the next weeks  I will review a few of this books, but right away let me recommend, for the wide approach, two books, both written by esteemed professionals and very good for anyone who try to uncover this magical world:&lt;br /&gt;- In Italian: “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;La magia degli eventi&lt;/span&gt;”, by Roberta Cocco –Sperling &amp; Kupfer&lt;br /&gt;- In English:  “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Event Planning : The Ultimate Guide to Successful Meetings, Corporate Events, Fundraising Galas, Conferences, Conventions, Incentives and Other Special Events&lt;/span&gt;”, by Judy Allen –Wiley&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, there are also a lot of trade magazines, really useful for getting up to date: in Italy, let me mention “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;MICE&lt;/span&gt;” (published by BEMA), “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Meeting &amp; Congressi&lt;/span&gt;” and “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Incentivare&lt;/span&gt;” (Ediman), “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Convegni&lt;/span&gt;” (Convegni), and “&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;E20&lt;/span&gt;” (AdC – Agenzia della Comunicazione). These magazines are not available in the usual newspaper kiosk, but only on direct subscription. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;WHAT’S NEXT?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway , you couldn’t learn by reading books the only features that really are compulsory: it’s needed an innate creativity, noteworthy public-relations skills, a predisposition to planning and orchestrating the overall and the detail, and a spontaneous curiosity toward everything, and specially toward music, theatre, movies, and every and each form of art and communication.     &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;About the rest, it’s my opinion that, as per any artisan job, the best way to become skilled at it is to directly work in the field, rising through the ranks, working side by side with a competent professional. &lt;br /&gt;There are things you will learn only dirtying your hands.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-2060341704622382430?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/2060341704622382430/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=2060341704622382430&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/2060341704622382430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/2060341704622382430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/05/looking-for-job-in-event-planning-field.html' title='Looking for a job in the event-planning field?'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SgMM0hyKPdI/AAAAAAAAARA/h_9hz0NOZB4/s72-c/Olympics---Closing-Ceremony-82534778.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-7477743863279836863</id><published>2009-04-28T10:21:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-28T10:28:36.527+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Creatività e Comunicazione'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Formazione e team building'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eventi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Incentive'/><title type='text'>Motivation, teambuilding and entertainment in the MICE field</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SfbMPOWV-HI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/lm6ZWmQ1Pxo/s1600-h/dunlop+-+invisible+cities+-+ortigia+sr++-+01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

(Finivest Congressi) a &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Nico Torrisi&lt;/span&gt; (presidente di Confturismo e Federalberghi Catania), hanno coperto in maniera completa l’intera filiera del mondo MICE, presentandolo in maniera realistica e accurata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per me, è stata un’esperienza divertente e utile; inoltre, sono orgoglioso di ammetterlo, anche io ho imparato tanto in quelle poche ore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inoltre, da quel momento, ho cominciato a ricevere molte email personali da studenti che volevano approfondire l’argomento, chiedendomi titoli di libri da leggere, o semplicemente i requisiti necessari per lavorare nel nostro campo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cercherò di rispondere ad alcune di queste domande nei miei prossimi post.&lt;br /&gt;Spero che possa essere utile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one above was the title of the seminar I ran for the business college of the University of Catania, as a part of a series on “&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Tourism: the congress and business events field&lt;/span&gt;” scheduled and arranged by professor &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Benedetto Puglisi&lt;/span&gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 qualified top-level speakers, like &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ivana Termine&lt;/span&gt; (Finivest Congressi) or &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Nico Torrisi&lt;/span&gt; (president of Confturismo and Federalberghi Catania), completely covered  the MICE supply chain, introducing it in a complete and thorough way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, it was a fun and rewarding experience; and, I’m proud to admit it, I learned a lot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, from that moment on, I’ve received a lot of personal emails from students who wanted to go deeper into the matter, asking me for titles of books to study, or simply the qualifications and skills needed to work in the field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will try to answer a lot of these questions in the following posts.&lt;br /&gt;Hope you’ll find it useful.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-7477743863279836863?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/7477743863279836863/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=7477743863279836863&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/7477743863279836863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/7477743863279836863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/04/motivation-teambuilding-and.html' title='Motivation, teambuilding and entertainment in the MICE field'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SfbMPOWV-HI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/lm6ZWmQ1Pxo/s72-c/dunlop+-+invisible+cities+-+ortigia+sr++-+01.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-5750807743484391042</id><published>2009-04-27T13:51:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-27T16:21:43.168+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>Team success</title><content type='html'>"&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Coming together is a beginning.&lt;br /&gt;Keeping together is progress.&lt;br /&gt;Working together is success.&lt;/span&gt;" (Henry Ford)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-5750807743484391042?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/5750807743484391042/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=5750807743484391042&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/5750807743484391042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/5750807743484391042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2009/04/team-success.html' title='Team success'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-4664310171873746314</id><published>2009-04-24T17:26:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T17:28:42.317+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Creatività e Comunicazione'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Formazione e team building'/><title type='text'>How do we learn?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SfHotewqCyI/AAAAAAAAAQw/qlH48vdAOz8/s1600-h/Immagine.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

scorso anno!&lt;br /&gt;Cosa è successo?&lt;br /&gt;Innanzitutto, alcuni importanti e prestigiosi eventi MICE hanno rubato tutto il mio tempo;&lt;br /&gt;poi, una serie di rivoluzioni lavorative ci hanno portato a un importante rinnovamento del nostro staff;&lt;br /&gt;e infine, una colossale operazione di aggiornamento del nostro logo, del nostro sito (presto nuovamente online), della nostra strategia di comunicazione mi ha strappato pure le ultime energie residue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E ora, al primo respiro di sollievo, finalmente rieccomi qui, a cercare di dare nuova vita a questo mio blog, con tanti, troppi spunti già stipati nel serbatoio della mia mente.&lt;br /&gt;Aspettatevi di tutto!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A presto,&lt;br /&gt;D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: da ora in poi, questo blog sarà bilingue, per arrivare anche ai miei amici e colleghi che vivono oltre la penisola. &lt;br /&gt;Spero mi perdoneranno i futuri (inevitabili) errori.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it: my last post on this blog is dated June 2nd, 2008!&lt;br /&gt;What happened?&lt;br /&gt;First of all, some important and prestigious MICE events robbed me of all of my time;&lt;br /&gt;Next, a revolution in our company brought us to an important renewal of our staff members;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, a massive operation of updating our logo, internet site (soon to be online), and communication strategies worn out my last energies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, at my first sigh of relief, I’m here again, to give new life to this blog, with a lot of new ideas yet crammed inside my mind.&lt;br /&gt;Expect everything!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you soon,&lt;br /&gt;D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: from now on, this blog will be written in Italian and English, to be understandable even to my friends and colleagues who doesn’t talk Italian! &lt;br /&gt;Hope they will forgive my future (unavoidable) grammatical errors.&lt;div

collaborativi, e su quale sia il migliore... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma la vera domanda che mi sono sempre posto è: esistono davvero i teambuilding competitivi, intesi come "un gruppo contro un altro"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il teambuilding ha come scopo, ovviamente, la creazione di un gruppo, o comunque il rafforzamento positivo dei legami interni allo stesso.&lt;br /&gt;E' possibile ottenere questo risultato dividendo i partecipanti in gruppi e facendo in modo che si sfidino tra di loro?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kjerulf (esperto internazionale di "felicità al lavoro") ha riassunto in un suo interessantissimo articolo le 5 motivazioni principali per cui i teambuilding competitivi non sono utili, ma anzi, spesso, sono dannosi per il gruppo:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1: Competition does not create an experience of success&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ovvero, certo, qualcuno vince, ma, proprio per questo motivo, la maggior parte delle squadre dovrà perdere. E questo significa lasciare nella maggior parte delle persone una sensazione di inadeguatezza e sconforto (e, a volte, invidia verso i vincitori)... non certo ciò che si vuole raggiungere con un'attività del genere! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2: Competition brings out the worst in people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non tutti sono capaci di controllare la competitività, e non trasformarla in aggressività verso l'avversario. Addirittura, alcuni cercano volontariamente di danneggiare l'avversario, o barano per ottenere la vittoria... ancora una volta, non la base ideale sulla quale costruire un rapporto di stima e fiducia reciproca!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3: People learn less when they’re competing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ad alcuni potrebbe sembrare paradossale, ma diversi studi accademici hanno dimostrato che si impara di più collaborando che competendo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;4: Competition lowers performance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anche qua, a differenza di ciò che potrebbe sembrare ovvio, è stato dismotrato che la maggior parte delle persone ha un migliore rendimento se collabora piuttosto che se deve cercare di vincere contro qualcuno...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5: Waste of time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gli eventi competitivi hanno come obiettivo principale la vittoria di un team, e questo spesso fa perdere di vista l'obiettivo principale di rafforzare il gruppo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insomma, in definitiva, la competizione rafforza (probabilmente) le affinità all'interno di un team, a discapito del rapporto con tutte le altre squadre, e quindi con la maggior parte dei partecipanti all'attività.&lt;br /&gt;E questo voi lo chiamereste "teambuilding"?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-1678140872088916809?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/1678140872088916809/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=1678140872088916809&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/1678140872088916809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/1678140872088916809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2008/05/teambuilding-e-competitivit.html' title='Teambuilding e competitività'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/SDqXyom4ZQI/AAAAAAAAALk/rCi7kk4dusg/s72-c/186308430_c42f4c88a1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-6731124073867572551</id><published>2008-05-26T09:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-05-26T11:55:38.414+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>...in 4 parole!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Creativity is what sells"&lt;/span&gt;

"&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Sicilia, isola a colori&lt;/span&gt;", realizzata per la Regione Siciliana da &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Feedback&lt;/span&gt; . &lt;br /&gt;La campagna pubblicitaria, veramente accattivante, racconta la Sicilia e le sue differenti facce attraverso i suoi colori accesi, invitando i lettori a sceglierne la "sfumatura" preferita. &lt;br /&gt;"Una declinazione classica del turismo viene riletta con suggestioni multisensoriali&gt;", così si è espressa la giuria tecnica (lo dico con orgoglio tutto sicilano), "Ogni soggetto della campagna rielabora in modo originale, ed in perfetto equilibrio, il tema del viaggio come scoperta dell'inatteso. Luci e ombre: sono questi gli elementi distintivi della campagna, che fa leva su mare, storia ed enogastronomia.&lt;br /&gt;I colori denotano l'offerta della regione e la varieta' dei suoi prodotti."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cosa dire se non, semplicemente, grazie?&lt;br /&gt;

E spesso anche meno costosi.&lt;br /&gt;Ops!

Ma questa è la prima volta che le pietre del Muro sono utilizzate per lanciare una campagna commerciale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La iniziativa certamente non è piaciuta al rabbino Shmuel Rabinovic, responsabile dei luoghi santi ebraici. &lt;br /&gt;"Le pietre del Muro non possono essere utilizzate per giochi e per fare pubblicità!", ha esclamato "Si tratta della profanazione di un luogo santo". &lt;br /&gt;Da parte sua, la società che produce i puzzle replica di aver agito in buona fede per pubblicizzare Gerusalemme in occasione del sessantesimo anniversario della costituzione dello stato di Israele. Aggiunge che un uso commerciale di quel Luogo Santo viene fatto peraltro anche quando attori o altre celebrità si mettono in posa alla base del Muro, cosa che viene consentita dai rabbini... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insomma, abbiamo varcato i limiti etici e il rispetto della religiosità altrui, o siamo ancora nella norma di un "comunicare a tutti i costi"?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-6032597264270174115?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/6032597264270174115/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=6032597264270174115&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/6032597264270174115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/6032597264270174115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-limiti-etici-del-marketing.html' title='I limiti etici del marketing...'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/R-zU0L053ZI/AAAAAAAAAK8/fxWP7nTtc0s/s72-c/Israel-Western_Wall.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-8875461853245741881</id><published>2008-03-25T11:29:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T20:39:42.144+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Incentive'/><title type='text'>Il ritorno de "Il rivale di se stesso"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/R-jX1b053YI/AAAAAAAAAK0/j2vzxCZwkk0/s1600-h/fallingdogtshirtinspiration.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/R-jX1b053YI/AAAAAAAAAK0/j2vzxCZwkk0/s200/fallingdogtshirtinspiration.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181628684292447618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E' successo di nuovo.&lt;br /&gt;Ne avevo già discusso abbondantemente &lt;a href="http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2006/11/il-rivale-di-se-stesso.html"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt; quasi un anno e mezzo fa, ma è capitato nuovamente, più e più volte, diventando praticamente una consuetudine con cadenza pressocchè poco più che mensile. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un cliente ci chiede di progettare per lui un lungo evento di team-building ludico da tenersi lungo la costa della Sicilia orientale. E, naturalmente, di dare vita a idee originali.&lt;br /&gt;Noi creiamo con fatica e passione un nuovo pezzo unico, adattiamo i nostri format più riusciti, tenendo in conto età, sesso e numero dei partecipanti, tempi e spazi a disposizione, stagione climatica nella quale si terrà l'evento, e molti altri fattori. &lt;br /&gt;Il cliente (un'importante &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;incentive house&lt;/span&gt; capitolina) plaude al nostro impegno e rigira la proposta al SUO cliente (una non meglio precisata multinazionale nel campo dell'elettronica).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passano 10 giorni, nei quali non abbiamo più alcuna notizia. L'evento è ancora lontano, e siamo abituati a tempi biblici di attesa (pare che Matusalemme realizzasse eventi anche lui)...&lt;br /&gt;Assorbiti da altre richieste, quasi ci dimentichiamo della nostra proposta.&lt;br /&gt;Fino a quando un tour-operator milanese ci contatta per un "altro" evento, dicendoci che un suo cliente aveva avuto l'idea di fare un evento in Sicilia, e aveva già un'idea ben chiara di cosa voleva realizzare.&lt;br /&gt;Chiediamo dettagli, e ci viene inviato un briefing.&lt;br /&gt;Un briefing che (ovviamente a questo punto ci sarete arrivati da soli) era scritto con le mie parole. Neanche lo sforzo di cambiarle un po'.&lt;br /&gt;Non solo: per dare risalto al testo, e rendere più chiaro come l'evento si sarebbe dovuto realmente svolgere, erano state perfino utilizzate foto e immagini che io stesso avevo spedito (e in una di queste mi vedevo perfino io!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ovviamente, il tour-operator ne era all'oscuro.&lt;br /&gt;Molto più semplicemente, il cliente, alla ricerca di un facile (?) risparmio, stava cercando di aggirarci e di trovare un fornitore più economico (siamo gli unici professionisti del campo nel sud-Italia, e abbiamo felici e proficui rapporti di lavoro praticamente con tutti gli attori del settore... difficile evitarci!).&lt;br /&gt;Un fornitore più economico, dicevamo.&lt;br /&gt;Come se vendessimo risme di carta o zucchero per il caffè, beni praticamente indifferenziati per i quali una "marca" vale l'altra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Così, al di là delle ovvie implicazioni etiche (il furto di idee pare sia la norma, e venga considerato meno che un peccato veniale), mi ritornano a frullare in testa le solite domande:&lt;br /&gt;davvero si pensa che chiunque sia capace di realizzare &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;in pratica&lt;/span&gt; ciò che &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;in teoria&lt;/span&gt; sembra una buona idea? &lt;br /&gt;Se rubassi gli schemi di una Ferrari, davvero chiunque sarebbe capace di costruirla tale e quale? E vi fidereste di guidarne una realizzata amatorialmente nel garage di uno sconosciuto, senza alcuna garanzia?&lt;br /&gt;Non sono forse necessari studi, competenze, esperienze, capacità, PROFESSIONALITA' che non sono in mano a tutti?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E infine, per restare nel campo dei paragoni automobilistici, nessuno si aspetta che un Fiorino Fiat avrà le stesse prestazioni o lo stesso comfort di una Audi TT, nè di pagare lo stesso prezzo per i due modelli, ma entrambi vengono classificati come "automezzi".&lt;br /&gt;Non ne vedete a occhio nudo la differenza?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-8875461853245741881?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/8875461853245741881/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=8875461853245741881&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/8875461853245741881'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/8875461853245741881'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2008/03/il-ritorno-de-il-rivale-di-se-stesso.html' title='Il ritorno de &quot;Il rivale di se stesso&quot;'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/R-jX1b053YI/AAAAAAAAAK0/j2vzxCZwkk0/s72-c/fallingdogtshirtinspiration.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-2222575592695087047</id><published>2008-03-24T23:14:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-25T10:15:30.883+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>marketing da circo</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"If the circus is coming to town and you paint a sign saying "Circus Coming to the Fairground Saturday," that's advertising.

Dati senza dubbio importanti, che confermano l'importanza del settore...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anche l'OCI ci da notizie positive, dichiarando una crescita nel settore di oltre il 17% nel solo primo trimestre 2007. Ma anche gli altri dati fornitici sono importanti, perchè ci informano che è aumentata la dimensione media degli eventi ospitati (+9,43%) e si è allungata anche la permanenza media degli ospiti (+16,67%).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un successo su tutti i fronti, per un settore che affronta ogni giorno serie difficoltà e subisce uno scarso riconoscimento del suo valore da parte delle autorità politiche che invece dovrebbero premiarne la virtuosità....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-3397894443413542173?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/3397894443413542173/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=3397894443413542173&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/3397894443413542173'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/3397894443413542173'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2008/03/osservando-gli-osservatori.html' title='Osservando gli Osservatori'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/R-FYxc9CJCI/AAAAAAAAAKs/pmzhTUlYizg/s72-c/NlA2007.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-7771929754080671731</id><published>2008-03-17T12:55:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-03-17T17:11:45.776+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>Riunioni e Brainstorming</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Se due uomini sono d'accordo su tutto, puoi star sicuro che solo uno dei due sta pensando."&lt;/span&gt; (Arthur Bloch)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-7771929754080671731?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/7771929754080671731/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=7771929754080671731&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/7771929754080671731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/7771929754080671731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2008/03/riunioni-e-brainstorming.html' title='Riunioni e Brainstorming'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-5520706467764897106</id><published>2008-03-16T08:56:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T20:39:42.490+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eventi'/><title type='text'>La Veillée des Abysses</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/R9zZOs9CJAI/AAAAAAAAAKc/56fr9hYp52A/s1600-h/Bright_Abyss_03.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/R9zZOs9CJAI/AAAAAAAAAKc/56fr9hYp52A/s400/Bright_Abyss_03.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178252518177776642" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ho avuto la fortuna, in un periodo assolutamente denso come quello di questi giorni, di riuscire ad andare a vedere, a Catania, la prima italiana de La Veillée des Abysses, del giovanissimo James Thierrèe. La critica mondiale lo aveva già acclamato&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spettacolo straordinario, suggestivo e incantatore, capace di fondere insieme l'arte circense con l'estro teatrale, la danza e la musica.&lt;br /&gt;E ciò che ne esce fuori è pura poesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suggestioni sperimentali, senza dubbio, surreali, improbabili, ma davvero capaci di lasciare tutti a bocca aperta a sognare, immergendoti in una surrealtà improvvisamente vicina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uno spettacolo unico, che caldamente consiglio a tutti coloro che possano avere un'occasione di andarlo a vedere.&lt;br /&gt;E soprattutto coloro che fingono di fare teatro o arte sperimentale, quando poi semplicemente si lasciano andare a narcisistici e incomprensibili deliri non capaci di emozionare. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi permetto di citarlo, in una sua recente intervista, perchè credo nelle sue parole si trovino tante verità scoperte nel sudore e nella fatica di un artista vero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Come me, come tutti, quello che gli spettatori chiedono, quello di cui hanno bisogno è essere trasportati da qualche altra parte. Un luogo magico dove si ritrovino delle vaghe reminiscenze, delle storie dimenticate, delle visioni immaginifiche, dei ricordi ingarbugliati… Non so spiegare in modo chiaro come le idee mi vengano. Io parto dalla materia bruta, da fatti concreti, da gesti semplici. Lo spettacolo si compone un passo alla volta, si modifica da solo attraverso le diverse sue rappresentazioni. Tutto è costantemente in divenire. Chi pensa di costruire un’opera ad ogni istante si rende conto fino a che punto i suoi elementi fuggano dal completo controllo del creatore stesso. All’inizio, immagino una storia, poi insieme ai miei artisti ci lavoriamo sopra. Gli artisti sono acrobati, contorsionisti, musicisti; io ascolto i loro desideri. Insieme, noi ascoltiamo il pubblico e le loro reazioni. Non solamente le manifestazioni di gioia, gli applausi, ma anche il respiro di una sala. Ciò è essenziale per mantenere il ritmo, oltrepassare la performance, il puro numero circense, e arrivare all’umanità delle persone. Esprimere lo “scorrere della vita”, lasciare che il cuore si apra all’innocenza ritrovata delle emozioni e delle risa, lasciarsi guidare dall’incanto surrealista delle immagini.

Lo studio rivelò che il fattore più significativo era un accresciuto senso di appartenza al gruppo e alla realtà aziendale, quanto maggiore erano state le interazioni tra i colleghi.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nel 1933, poi, Elton Mayo (che, guarda caso, era anche uno dei ricercatori originali degli Hawthorne Studies) illustrò con maggiore chiarezza quali erano le condizioni necessarie per uno sviluppo ottimale di un "lavoro di squadra"... ma qui la discussione diventa troppo lunga e complessa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basti dire che, ovviamente, gli studi non si fermarono con Mayo, ma proseguirono, in mano a importanti ricercatori, rivelando non soltanto i meccanismi che contribuiscono a irrobustire le fondamenta di ogni squadra, ma anche e soprattutto proponendo attività e suggerendo comportamenti capaci di sfruttare al meglio il potenziale del gruppo...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-108213538892082258?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/108213538892082258/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=108213538892082258&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/108213538892082258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/108213538892082258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2008/02/storia-del-team-building.html' title='Storia del team-building'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/R72MMqn9B4I/AAAAAAAAAKM/71y0r1nHSW8/s72-c/team+hands.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-717669471755970306</id><published>2008-01-07T14:13:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-01-07T14:17:29.462+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>Tanta pubblicità, ma cattivo prodotto...?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"La lealtà comprata col denaro, dal denaro può essere distrutta." &lt;/span&gt;(Seneca)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-717669471755970306?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/717669471755970306/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=717669471755970306&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/717669471755970306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/717669471755970306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2008/01/tanta-pubblicit-ma-cattivo-prodotto.html' title='Tanta pubblicità, ma cattivo prodotto...?'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-3444980308860927001</id><published>2007-12-22T10:47:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T20:39:42.935+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Semplicemente altro...'/><title type='text'>BUONE FESTE!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/R2zdlcwWfuI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/v5NTEpSCkew/s1600-h/buone_feste+-+1600x1200+-+72dpi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

o del progetto sulla distribuzione gratuita di Viagra (progetto poi ripreso anche dal Comune di Milano).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Magari non è proprio marketing, dicevamo in apertura, ma le imprese del giovane sindaco hanno un'enorme eco sui suoi concittadini, che sono orgogliosi delle innovazioni messe in campo dal loro primo cittadino e della risonanza che Varallo sta avendo su giornali e televisioni nazionali.&lt;br /&gt;I sondaggi danno il gradimento del sindaco a livelli eccezionali.&lt;br /&gt;Che sia il primo esempio di marketing politico non-convenzionale?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-6581143622980000692?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/6581143622980000692/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=6581143622980000692&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/6581143622980000692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/6581143622980000692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2007/10/varallo-citt-non-convenzionale.html' title='Varallo, città non-convenzionale'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/RycO9oa8e_I/AAAAAAAAAJc/KD5lAUjiP9Y/s72-c/dieta1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-3128976037424975986</id><published>2007-10-29T11:14:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-10-29T11:15:46.709+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>Finestre creative</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Come faccio a spiegare a mia moglie che quando guardo fuori dalla finestra sto lavorando?" &lt;/span&gt;(J.

&lt;br /&gt;E' un film di Joe Dante con John Goodman uscito nel '93 che dovrebbe essere nella videoteca personale di ogni pubblicitario o esperto di marketing che si rispetti.&lt;br /&gt;Il film, ambientato in un 1962 sull'orlo di un conflitto mondiale, narra delle vicende del giovane Gene e dell'arrivo, nella cittadina in cui risiede, del regista di B-movie Lawrence Wolsey, con il suo ultimo film dell'orrore "Mant!". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma, se la trama è senza dubbio gradevole (non certo eccezionale), ciò che rende imperdibile il film è la chiara ispirazione che il personaggio di Wolsey ha tratto dalla figura reale di William Castle, regista della fine degli anni '50, uno degli iniziatori del marketing non-convenzionale in un periodo in cui la parola neanche esisteva.&lt;br /&gt;Ricordiamoci che in quel periodo il cinema attraversava la sua prima, seria crisi, e le case di produzione inventavano ogni genere di trucco o attrattiva per cercare di riportare la gente nelle sale.&lt;br /&gt;Era il periodo di innovazioni come gli occhiali 3d, il Cinemascope o il Vistavision, di dubbia utilità pratica.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Castle si spinse oltre.&lt;br /&gt;Gà nel 1958, per promuovere il suo film &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Macabre&lt;/span&gt;, fece consegnare a tutti i clienti un'assicurazione sulla vita nel caso in cui fossero morti durante la proiezione del film. Inoltre, fece vestire tutti gli uscieri con indumenti da chirurgo, mentre un'ambulanza stazionava davanti al cinema.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The tingler&lt;/span&gt; (1959) è una vera e propria genialata meta-cinematografica. La trama racconta di piccole creature (i tingler, per l'appunto) che vivono attaccati alla spina dorsale. Normalmente innocui, la paura li risveglia, pizzicando "dall'interno" le proprie vittime. Solo le urla sono capaci di uccidere i disgustosi parassiti. Nel finale del film, una delle creature scappa all'interno di un cinema. E Castle aveva provveduto preventivamente ad equipaggiare alcuni sedili con delle apparecchiature che li facevano vibrare improvvisamente e violentemente.&lt;br /&gt;Istigate da alcuni complici in sala e dagli strilli dei malcapitati nelle sedie truccate, immancabilmente l'intero cinema scoppiava a urlare (anche se spesso per il semplice divertimento di farlo).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incuriositi a sufficienza? &lt;br /&gt;Sebbene molte informazioni siano già disponibili in rete e in libreria per chi volesse scoprire altri trucchi creativi del bizzarro regista, un documentario sulla sua vita, intitolato "Spine Tingler!

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La notizia è stata divulgata dall'Università di Yale (USA), ed è una di quelle cose che i professionisti del teambuilding vogliono tenervi nascoste: offrire una tazza di caffè aiuta a creare spirito di squadra, a instaurare un'atmosfera di fiducia e simpatia e perfino ad aumentare la credibilità di chi offre il caffè.&lt;br /&gt;L'effetto è ovviamente dovuto non a qualità intrinseche del caffè, ma al gesto pulito e sincero, non impegnativo come potrebbe essere un grande regalo, ma che mostra attenzione e rispetto verso i propri interlocutori. &lt;br /&gt;Così, se le vostre dinamiche aziendali interne non vanno per il verso giusto, beh, provate con il caffè...&lt;br /&gt;Certo, non aspettatevi risultati da vero teambuilding, ma è un buon inizio...&lt;div

Perchè il media scelto per la campagna è &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.it"&gt;you-tube&lt;/a&gt;, dove potete vedere i pompieri di Ginevra improvvisarsi in un video-rap (in francese, ovviamente) ironico e travolgente, che, neanche troppo vagamente, richiama alla memoria i Village People! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naturalmente l'idea non è nuova, e anzi segue le orme di un altro caso mediatico proprio degli ultimi mesi...

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sabato sono andato a vedere un concerto di musica classica e lirica, in programma gratuitamente in una delle piazze principali di Catania, all'interno dei &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Bellini Days&lt;/span&gt;, celebrazioni in onore dell'omonimo compositore etneo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In generale, lo ammetto, tutti gli organizzatori di eventi come me non riescono ad andare a uno spettacolo senza che la propria mente ne scardini gli elementi, analizzandoli uno ad uno e nell'insieme, valutando se una scelta diversa sarebbe stata migliore o peggiore.&lt;br /&gt;Eh, si: siamo sempre pronti a criticarci tra di noi!&lt;br /&gt;Invece, stavolta, per la prima volta da tanto tempo nella mia città, sono rimasto semplicemente entusiasta: ottima scelta dei brani, noti, per la maggior parte, anche ai numerosi profani intervenuti; ottimi musicisti, e molto buona la disposizione in scena, la scelta del palco e delle luci; impianto audio assolutamente perfetto (per una volta non si è badato a spese), capace di garantire un'acustica eccellente da ogni parte della piazza; regia invisibile e attenta...&lt;br /&gt;Insomma, se proprio dobbiamo cercare una pecca, citerei il finale (un bis del Brindisi della Traviata, decisamente anticlimatico, soprattutto perchè eseguito dopo gli spettacolari fuochi che hanno colorato il teatro belliniano sullo sfondo), ma, beh... perchè lamentarsi di fronte a una vittoria schiacciante?&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Meglio urlare, insieme ai numerosi stranieri presenti, semplicemente:

estiva di questo blog, e ammetto di avere accumulato diversi spunti interessanti per tanti (troppi?) post.&lt;br /&gt;Spaventati? &lt;br /&gt;Beh, ne avreste ragione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Innanzitutto, cosa è successo durante questa pausa estiva? &lt;br /&gt;Diciamolo chiaramente: i nostri uffici non sono mai stati chiusi, e in effetti la pausa è stata dovuta proprio a un periodo di vero superlavoro.&lt;br /&gt;Praticamente ogni giorno ci ha visto intenti nell'organizzazione diretta di un evento o uno spettacolo, oltre 50 artisti e intrattenitori hanno lavorato con noi negli ultimi 45 giorni, e le richieste di preventivi si sono accumulate oltre misura...&lt;br /&gt;Insomma, un imprevisto pandemonio estivo che ci ha lasciato piacevolmente senza fiato.&lt;br /&gt;Piacevolmente, perchè significa che il nostro lavoro viene davvero apprezzato.&lt;br /&gt;Senza fiato, perchè non vediamo l'ora di una vera vacanza (magari su un'isola deserta).&lt;div

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sul numero di luglio di "Meeting e Congress", organo ufficiale di Italcongressi, è uscito un articolo intitolato "La seconda E del settore Micee", a firma Piergiorgio Mangialardi (egregio e preparato professionista del settore), nella quale si propone di aggiungere una seconda "e" all'acronimo MICE, che stia per "Exhibitions".&lt;br /&gt;Si aggiunge anche "l'idea la dobbiamo al signor Colomban, imprenditore veneto", ma temo tutto questo sia solo frutto di una colossale svista...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In realtà, infatti, la sigla MICE sta proprio per "Meetings, Incentive, Conferences, Exhibitions" (è la definizione originale data dall'"International congress &amp; convention association", approvata, tra gli altri, dalle più importanti associazioni di settore, come ICCA o MPI).&lt;br /&gt;Per conferma, in fondo, sarebbe bastato dare un'occhiata sulla solita Wikipedia&lt;br /&gt;(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meetings%2C_Incentives%2C_Conferencing%2C_Exhibitions)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perchè allora, negli ultimi anni si trova la parola "events" al posto di "exhibitions", tanto da causarne una imbarazzante dimenticanza anche negli operatori del settore?&lt;br /&gt;La risposta è più semplice di quanto si potrebbe credere: l'allargamento a categorie che non rientrano nelle quattro sopraelencate ha portato le agenzie specializzate a sostituire i due termini poichè, banalmente, "events" è un termine più generico e capace quindi di accogliere tutte le nuove tipologie...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insomma, miracoli degli acronimi!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E' uscito già da qualche mese il "Monitor sul mercato degli eventi in Italia 2006", ma, devo ammetterlo, solo da poco ho avuto davvero modo di analizzarne i risultati...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quanto pare, è stato un vero e proprio boom!&lt;br /&gt;Dall'analisi (svolta su ben 303 manager di differenti imprese e organizzazioni), risulta chiaramente che ben &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;il 41% del campione ha accresciuto il proprio investimento negli eventi&lt;/span&gt;, il 52% ha mantenuto la spesa pressocchè invariata, e solo il 7% ha ridotto il budget a disposizione del settore.&lt;br /&gt;Inoltre, di questo 7%, ben il 77% ha dichiarato di avere ridotto la spesa non per caratteristiche intrinseche degli eventi, o per la loro scarsa efficacia, ma per cause "esterne" (riduzione dei costi, cambi di management, assenza di occasioni per eventi specifici, ecc).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scendendo più nel dettaglio, scopriamo che gli eventi più gettonati sono stati senza dubbio le convention aziendali (con il 56%), seguite a ruota dagli eventi interni (55%), dai lanci di prodotto (54%), e dai congressi (49%). Le celebrazioni e ricorrenze si attestano su un buon 40%, e gli eventi d'incentivazione toccano un abbondante 33%.&lt;br /&gt;Insomma ce n'è per tutti i gusti!&lt;br /&gt;Evidentemente, il notevole ROI degli eventi è sempre più visibile sotto gli occhi di tutti...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5838841045133276478-4396169205213224906?l=dariocherubino.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/feeds/4396169205213224906/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5838841045133276478&amp;postID=4396169205213224906&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/4396169205213224906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5838841045133276478/posts/default/4396169205213224906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dariocherubino.blogspot.com/2007/07/eventi-in-crescita.html' title='Eventi in crescita!'/><author><name>Dario Cherubino</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00024119223467598419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SSJdpW2KgaQ/Rqm6LaMP7BI/AAAAAAAAAIU/IYzjFqDGt6Y/s72-c/8.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5838841045133276478.post-5734995155775700505</id><published>2007-07-23T23:04:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-24T13:07:21.858+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aforismi del lunedì'/><title type='text'>As time goes by...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"The bad news is time flies.
