We have come to discover and appreciate the effectiveness of the Leadership Simulation Game Fligby thanks to Stefano Selvini, founder of CapoLeader, that has introduced the tool in Italy in 2020.
The simulator offers an involving, entertaining, one-of-kind experience to gain awareness about oneself leadership and relational strengths and aspects to improve along with representing a powerful tool to obtain objective, non intrusive, feedback for improvement and growth.
The entire simulation is based on the classic far reaching theory of FLOW developed by Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi whom has directly collaborated with the company that has developed the simulator: Aleas Simulation Inc. based in Los Angeles – California.
Fligby has been utilised by leaders, entrepreneurs and managers during the last ten years on a global scale, many global corporations are relying on this tool for consistent performance improvement.
Riccardo Paterni, from Synergy Pathways, is in the process of acquiring a Certification as Fligby Facilitator and Ambassador through a program offered by CapoLeader.
Synergy Pathways and CapoLeader as committed to collaborate actively in order to spread awareness and innovative utilisation of this powerful tool for lasting individual and organizational performance improvement.
Motorsport is a concrete source of innovation in many fields; Synergy Pathways and Redway Technologies (members of the RPM network) are utilising motorsport based simulator technologies to shape up a unique program to improve performance of racing drivers, athletes and individuals that wish to: increase their level of concentration, manage effectively stress and utilise at best their skills under pressure. The program objectivity driven leveraging on synergic analysis interplay of simulator and human biometric data sources. Riccardo has visited Redway Technologies new center in Padua. Stay tuned for further details and project developments.
In Padua we also visited another special place where the technical motorsport culture is active from an inspiring historic perspective. This too is part of the developing project.
L’attuale pandemia ha reso il contesto di qualsiasi azienda sempre più incerto e caratterizzato dal cambiamento: dover costantemente monitorare e far evolvere modelli di business, sia da un punto di vista strategico che operativo, è divenuta un’attività con cui tutti noi, in vari ruoli aziendali, ci stiamo misurando.
Di fronte al moltiplicarsi di fattori che portano incertezza e cambiamento è fondamentale avere in azienda elementi di riferimento forti che rappresentino ancoraggi stabili su cui basare sopravvivenza e crescita.
Questi ancoraggi si basano sull’identità, sull’essenza dell’azienda, che deve essere caratterizzata da tre fattori chiave: il perché (la visione aziendale), il che cosa (la missione aziendale) ed il come (i principi guida comportamentali alla base dell’azienda). Questi fattori sono tradizionalmente associati a contesti di marketing e comunicazione, ma in realtà quando emergono concretamente dal dentro, dalle radici del progetto aziendale, vanno ben oltre questa funzione e hanno il potenziale per formare quelle basi di ancoraggio da cui gestire e sfruttare a proprio vantaggio il cambiamento.
I fattori dell’identità aziendale
Il perché riguarda la ragione del progetto, una visione ampia che definisce lo scopo ultimo che caratterizza l’essenza dell’azienda: come l’azienda crea valore nel contesto di mercato e sociale di riferimento. Più che mai abbiamo bisogno di visioni ampie e ambiziose volte saper cogliere le opportunità del cambiamento.
Il che cosa riguarda in senso pratico quali sono le attività che vengono svolte per raggiungere la visione. Rappresenta l’allineamento progettuale rispetto alle ambizioni della visione. Si rapporta direttamente la definizione di ruoli, responsabilità e le relative competenze di natura tecnica e relazionale.
Il come riguarda i principi guida comportamentali alla base dello svolgimento nel quotidiano di dette attività. Sono gli aspetti che caratterizzano la cultura dell’azienda, il modo di fare, di pensare, di rapportarsi con le problematiche in cerca di soluzioni e opportunità di crescita.
L’ancoraggio necessario per gestire cambiamento e incertezza
Il perché, il che cosa ed il come sono aspetti fortemente interrelati che determinano concretamente la pratica operativa e strategica del progetto aziendale e costituiscono, nella loro sinergia e integrazione coerente, quell’ancoraggio che crea un senso di significato e di coinvolgimento indispensabili per gestire le turbolenze del cambiamento e delle incertezze con cui ci confrontiamo.
Un progetto aziendale definito su queste basi permette anche di impostare al meglio aspetti di gestione delle risorse umane fornendo basi strutturali per vivere il cambiamento dal punto di vista di opportunità di crescita:
Se facciamo attenzione alla realtà di aziende internazionali e nazionali che stanno crescendo in questi periodi di complessità possiamo notare quanto queste utilizzino la leva dell’identità per evolversi. In questo senso è importante ricordare che questa leva è alla portata di qualsiasi azienda, non importa la dimensione o il settore, serve solo consapevolezza e determinazione nell’identificarla e valorizzarla per creare quel senso di progettualità e significato di cui tutti noi abbiamo bisogno per dare il nostro meglio
A two days (25 and 26/1/2021) Team Building activity was held at Synergy Pathways base in Alibag – India, Cafe’ Elba, with Itaind Tech team members. During the last few months Synergy Pathways has brought forward the entire formation process of the IT Services company located in Pune.
It is pleasure to foster individual and organizational growth through the active cooperation of talented people driven by a common inspiring vision relevant to an ever expanding business and technology field.
It is all about: Knowledge for Action & Action for Knowledge!
Happy Holidays and a Prosperous, Healthy 2021! Synergy Pathways

RPM network has been represented by Riccardo Paterni at a University of Pisa’s seminar focusing on RPM network as a case study of innovative model for networked SMEs business development.
The university programme is an international one involving about 50 students from several countries from technical or economics backgrounds. 
The focus has been on the roots of RPM emphasizing the history of the motorsport industry growth mainly in the two key global areas: UK and Italy. The seminar and relevant debate (guided by Professor Riccardo Giannetti and Professor Andrea Dello Sbarba) has highlighted RPM’s unique organizational set-up and development outlook within the motorsport industry and technology transfer towards related fields. Opportunities for growth for the network and member companies (leveraging upon internationalisation, innovation and technology transfer) have been debated along with organizational and mindset barriers that need to be overcome to fully embrace such opportunities.
The seminar has once again asserted RPM will to seek and develop concrete university ties. This in order to stimulate dialogue on innovative topics, creating opportunities for internships to fuel RPM development and growth while helping students to be first hand connected to the dynamic, complex realities of today business world.
Together with colleagues from the Cifa Italia group of companies, on occasion of Diwali 2020 (November 14th 2020), we have organised a virtual party celebrating the start-up of Itaind Tech Pvt Ltd in Pune, India.
It has been an emotional moment of friendship connecting colleagues cooperating to innovative projects from several parts of Italy with the office in Pune. Families were also involved to highlight the family feeling of our extended visionary organisation set to increasingly make a difference in the Italian and International context of remote learning and working with unique tools that are set to particularly empower Small and Midsize Enterprises.
Diwali atmosphere of thankfulness, growth and prosperity has been the perfect shared social and cultural framework.
It has been also the perfect meaningful opportunity to celebrate Synergy Pathways’ ten years of exciting, successful activity focusing on unique, varied business development projects among Italy and India.
Stay tuned for developments.
Creativity in action to fuel innovation in training and people growth in organisations. And it all relates to motorsport too… stay tuned …
