Session

In this fast pace and constantly accelerating world, many organizations, particularly fast-growing innovative startups, are embracing flat structures with few or no middle management, where bureaucracy and hierarchies are minimized in favour of autonomy and self-organization.

In such organizations, mentoring empowers people to learn, grow, and develop their skills, thinking quality, and ability to navigate the company ecosystem.

In this session, Rossella Pin and Fabio Salvadori will present their discoveries from the experience of MentorLab, a market leader in Italy in the design and organization of mentoring programmes combining individual objectives with systemic results, and H-Farm Innovation, a forward-thinking and self-organised Italian company with an ongoing internal mentoring program.

After their presentation, Rossella and Fabio will moderate a discussion panel on the four key areas (the 4 “S”) to create an effective mentoring program: Senso (meaning), Struttura (structure), Spazio (space) and Strumenti (tools). The panel is composed of representatives of the two companies involved in the project:  Cristiano Abbate and Annalisa Fabbri of MentorLab,  Elisa Cucchetto of H-Farm Innovation.
