MindUP – Enhancement Psychology is a mental training project developed and promoted by Synergy Pathways, member of Rpm Motorsport Network. We collect biometric data while the performance is in progress in order to develop an evaluation of the driver to identify the improvement areas to be optimized and the critical areas to be strengthen. The improvement program provides a personalized approach for the driver in order to enhance, maintain over time en constantly improve performance; at the same time we pay particular attention to preserving the psychophysical well-being of the athlete.

We recently implemented our Enhancement Psychology program for gentlemen drivers. We integrated the MindUP protocol with the advanced and innovative biometric and telemetry data detection software developed and provided by another member of RPM: Redway Technologies & Communication in their professional simulation center in Padua as shown in the pictures.

It was a day of intense and fun training that led all participants to concretely identify and begin to act on the fundamental factors for improving their performance: the Basic Functioning of the athlete personality.

This is an example of unique innovative projects that can be developed by the integration of unique competencies and experiences present in RPM Motorsport Network.

Invited by Reinova we have participated to a conference held in Rimini (Italy) relevant to the current work-in-progress within the traditional Italian Motor Valley, deeply rooted land of motors, towards a new sustainable mobility.

It has been enlightening to realize in how many ways institutions, companies, universities and professionals are cooperating in order to channel the traditional creativity and competencies towards the new era characterized by change, challenges and opportunities shaping a sustainable economic and social growth driven by synergies.

Quite timely and intriguing a book (in Italian) written and presented by Massimo Degli Espositi by the title “E-Valley: volti e storie della terra dei motori” (E-Valley: portraits and narratives from the land of motors) featuring several companies case studies pointing out the dynamics and innovation originating from a land traditionally rich in creativity and competencies to technical challenges.

As Synergy Pathways we are proud to contribute to the fulfilling the potential of these rising opportunities in many ways: focusing on generating and facilitating synergies among companies, institutions and universities  at the national and international level, facilitating and promoting RPM Motorsport network business development activities and ensuring innovative ways that enable the full consistent expression of talent through our program MindUp- Enhancement Psychology.

What is MindUp?
Who is it for?
Why?
What are the benefits it generates?

The answers to these questions in this interview (see this link, interview in Italian) with the co-founders of MindUp, Enhancement Psychology: Lorenzo Baldassarri and Riccardo Paterni

Tim and Riccardo in this brief video conversation  talk about the roots and developments of their common professional path in Synergy Pathways on the topic of business development in Motorsport and Motorsport Technology Transfer during the last five years.

Interesting experience while working on the pre-production of MotorsportNext Innovation and Technology Transfer Global Forum that will go in streaming on June30th.

A learning experience while being at the directing board (representing RPM network) and working with a focused group of professionals from Autopromotec, Federica Masolin (Sky F1 Italy) and Tim Angus (Synergy Pathways associate).

It will be a forum featuring unique contents that markedly highlight, through applied case studies, the relevance of Motorsport industry’s engineering, organisation and mindset to develop innovation also for many other fields: aviation, aerospace, marine, biomedical, micromobility.

FLIGBY® (abbr. for “FLOW is Good Business for You™”) is the ultimate award-winning online Leadership Development Simulation.

This is the official Flow-program for decision-makers by Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and ALEAS Simulations. FLIGBY’s leadership development program combines video-game learning experience  with benchmark-based competence assessment.

FLIGBY makes you prove your worth as a leader. In the Game, you become the General Manager (GM) of a fine Californian Vineyard. Your goal is to make “Turul Winery” a high-performing business and a great place to work. With FLIGBY we want to show decision-makers how to foster Flow and use its psychic energy to enhance the happiness of their employees, customers, stakeholders and even themselves.

Riccardo has been certified through a program developed by CAPOLEADER the organisation that has introduced and manages FLIGBY projects in Italy.

During the last few years we have been working with our friend and colleague Dr. Lorenzo Baldassarri in designing a new project that is set to innovate the way we perceive and drive improvement of mental performance through the Enhancement Psychology protocol that Lorenzo has elaborated and fine tuned through his work with professional racing drivers. The project is entirely data driven in its assessment analysis and monitoring to track progressive improvement and development.

The project is set to add concrete value to human performance within motorsport and also within any profession that requires a high level of focus and the need to maximise competences to manage nowadays complex and ever fluctuating decision making in operational and strategic processes.
