Hey, happy Monday!

With this note I inaugurate a new summer format, shorter and easier to read, designed to leave more time for what we like to do!

True resolutions are always made in September

Perhaps, these days, prospects and colleagues will start moving important projects to September and the final rush in closing-everything-before-holiday will begin. Although this year will be a little different….

Summer is made to energize ourselves to get back up and running by making a promise to ourselves to do things radically differently. To take a break to put a very hard winter behind us, to put all the mistakes right, to catch up, to apply everything we’ve learned…

One thing has not changed since March 9, before we went into the very long call that was the lockdown: the need to find in the organizations we work with, large or small, a fundamental reconfiguration of the way we work.

How to rethink the integration of Design, Business and Technology to be able to react faster, with less risk but more sense to a future that is increasingly difficult to predict.

Starting today for the next few weeks I will leave you with 9 links, 3 per category, carefully selected from my bookmarks.

Use this and the next emails you receive as a bookmark of summer reading that matters, the kind that will allow you to broaden your field of vision and rethink what is possible, that there is a different way of doing things.

My first TEDx, and a phrase that has stuck with me ever since. At Harvard, someone said "fuck AI" and the room erupted. Other leaders were booed for the same ideas, others applauded for the opposite. The 150-year-old economic pact is breaking down, and the confirmation that AI will never correct weak leadership.
