Le piccole e medie imprese rappresentano la colonna vertebrale dell'economia italiana e il loro sostegno finanziario è fondamentale per sviluppo e competitività, soprattutto in un contesto segnato da tensioni geopolitiche, dazi e trasformazioni tecnologiche legate alle transizioni digitale ed ecologica, che richiedono investimenti significativi. In questo scenario, Intesa Sanpaolo ha presentato a Milano l'iniziativa «Crescere per competere», finalizzata a supportare le Pmi in operazioni straordinarie tramite strumenti di finanza strutturata, Ipo e M&A. L'innovazione consiste nel rendere disponibili questi strumenti di investment banking anche alle Pmi, attraverso una struttura dedicata nata dalla collaborazione tra la Banca dei Territori e IMI CIB, che oggi conta oltre 70 professionisti distribuiti in tre team territoriali e si rivolge a oltre 6.000 aziende. Durante l'evento presso la Borsa Italiana sono stati presentati casi di successo di Pmi in vari settori, tra cui Bending Spoons, Moltiply Group, Generalfinance, Lynx e Next Geosolutions. Dal 2020 a oggi la divisione Banca dei Territori ha assistito operazioni di finanza straordinaria per oltre 10 miliardi di euro, di cui oltre 2 miliardi nei primi nove mesi del 2025, con più di 35 operazioni tra M&A e Ipo. Stefano Barrese ha sottolineato che le Pmi devono individuare vie di sviluppo innovative e che Intesa Sanpaolo agisce come ponte tra economia reale e finanza, accompagnando gli imprenditori nella progettazione di strategie di crescita sostenibili e di lungo periodo. Interviene proprio Stefano Barrese, responsabile Divisione Banca dei Territori Intesa Sanpaolo.Delegazione italiana in Cina in difesa della proprietà intellettualeL'Unione Europea è leader globale nell'esportazione di tecnologia e know-how, ma le imprese rischiano violazioni se i diritti di proprietà intellettuale non sono tutelati. L'Italia gioca un ruolo di primo piano in settori come alimentare, farmaceutico, tessile e automotive, confermandosi nel 2024 quinta in Europa per domande di brevetto e quarta per deposito marchi. La Cina rappresenta un partner commerciale strategico e la tutela dei DPI è essenziale per proteggere le innovazioni, contrastare la concorrenza sleale e attrarre investimenti. Alessandro Plateroti si trova in Cina per seguire Action for China, programma dedicato a supportare le Pmi italiane nella localizzazione commerciale e produttiva, in collaborazione con istituzioni, associazioni di imprese, banche, fondi e studi legali. L'obiettivo della missione è siglare accordi per tutelare i settori strategici italiani nelle esportazioni verso la Cina, iniziando dall'alimentare con il consorzio di San Marzano, e proseguendo con farmaceutico, tessile e automotive, prevenendo contraffazione e manipolazione delle materie prime. Il commento è di Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore editoriale UCapital.comL'Italia torna ad essere fanalino di coda per crescitaNel 2025 l'Europa ha registrato una crescita migliore del previsto, con un PIL della zona euro stimato all'1,3%, rispetto allo 0,9% di maggio. L'Italia invece ha registrato una crescita più contenuta: la Commissione europea ha rivisto le stime a +0,4% per il 2025 e +0,8% per il 2026 e 2027, mentre il governo prevede rispettivamente +0,5%, +0,7% e +0,9%. Quest'anno l'Italia ha la quarta crescita più bassa dell'area euro e nei prossimi anni risulterà tra i paesi meno dinamici. La debole crescita è dovuta alle esportazioni nette che sottraggono 0,7 punti percentuali, mentre la domanda interna contribuisce con circa 1 punto percentuale, trainata dagli investimenti, e penalizzata dalla fine degli incentivi fiscali nel settore immobiliare. L'incertezza internazionale ha portato le famiglie ad aumentare il risparmio e ridurre i consumi. Sul fronte dei conti pubblici, le previsioni fissano il deficit al 3% del PIL nel 2025, con l'intenzione delle autorità italiane di mantenerlo leggermente inferiore per uscire dalla procedura per disavanzo eccessivo. Il presidente di Confindustria, Emanuele Orsini, ha sottolineato l'importanza di rafforzare la competitività e ha suggerito di posticipare il rientro del debito per aumentare le risorse disponibili per investimenti, ricordando che conti in ordine facilitano la presenza delle imprese italiane sui mercati esteri.Il commento è di Mario Deaglio, professore emerito di Economia Internazionale Università di Torino.
Strategy beats panic when work changes this fast. We sit down with Karla Eidem, North American Regional Managing Director at the Project Management Institute, to explore how HR can turn AI disruption into a springboard for skills, execution, and meaningful outcomes. From facts over fear to practical, lightweight tools, we walk through the moves that help teams adapt with less noise and more impact.Karla breaks down the PMI Talent Triangle—power skills, ways of working, and business acumen—and shows why these capabilities now matter across every HR function. We dig into skills-based hiring, internal mobility, and creating early-career on-ramps when routine tasks are automated. If you've ever run a “meeting for everyone with no one accountable,” you'll get immediate value from simple project tools like a team register, a sharp charter, and a clear cadence that turns ambition into action.We also tackle the tough questions about AI: where it helps, where it can't, and how HR should evaluate tools to truly capture value. Karla shares field stories, including leading a COVID-19 vaccine rollout, to illustrate how project management provides structure in ambiguity. Plus, we highlight insights from her SHRM session and extend an invitation to stay connected with PMI's global community through year-round learning and networking, including the annual PMI Global Summit.If you're ready to shift from operations to strategic leadership, this conversation offers a practical playbook.

De europæiske indeks måtte indkassere klare fald i fredags men havde samlet set en fin uge. Der er også nok at forholde sig til i denne uge, hvor vi får den stærkt forsinkede amerikanske jobrapport for september og regnskab fra mikrochipgiganten Nvidia, der er ekstra interessant i en tid med gevinsthjemtagning i tech-aktierne.

Cosa succede quando un ragazzo del Molise, figlio di un camionista e di una casalinga, decide di non accettare la strada “già segnata” e di costruire la sua carriera da zero? È la storia di Pasquale Orlando: laurea in Bocconi, colloquio fallito in McKinsey, la scelta di entrare nel mondo della consulenza, poi l'intuizione che lo porterà a fondare un'azienda tech, farla crescere e venderla a una multinazionale come Engineering. Ma la storia non finisce qui. Perché dopo l'exit, Pasquale riparte da zero e fonda DBridge, una startup fintech che oggi aiuta banche e PMI a parlarsi meglio, prendere decisioni più velocemente e creare valore reale, concreto. In questo episodio scoprirai: Che non serve entrare in una big corporate per avere successo. Come ascoltare davvero i clienti può diventare il tuo più grande vantaggio competitivo. Perché il vero talento è semplificare problemi complessi. Come si costruisce un team autonomo, responsabile e brillante. Perché non ci si deve mai innamorare del prodotto, ma del problema che risolvi. Il ruolo della reputazione nel business (e perché vale più dei soldi). Un episodio autentico, diretto, ricco di esempi concreti e intuizioni che vengono dall'esperienza sul campo, non dai manuali.
Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news inflation is rising more quickly in one large economy, the US, and policymakers and financial markets are getting skittish.Firstly, this week will be dominated by the Reserve Bank of Australia's release of the minutes of its November 5 meeting. There will be intense interest on their views of inflation risks. Then the US Fed will release the minutes of its October 30 meeting and observers will be looking for similar clues.Locally we will get another full dairy auction, and trade data this week, preceded this morning by the REINZ October results at 9am.Trade, inflation and PMI data will be coming from a range of countries. From the US, we await how they will be catching up with their official data releases. There will be the usual prosaic private sector data releases but the new weekly ADP employment data will bring intense interest, as will some earnings reports, especially from Nvidia.There will be little major data this coming week from China, because they released most of it this past weekend. And that was headlined by an big unexpected negative surprise from their fixed asset investment data. They said it fell -1.7% for the year to October. But that belies a huge -11% drop in the month from the same month a year earlier. For a country as large as China, that is a mammoth and sudden shift. The really large decrease was in the industrial northeast region. And it is puzzling analysts, especially in the light of the electricity data surge. Perhaps a clue is in this factoid in their data release: "fixed asset investment by foreign-invested enterprises decreased by 12.1%". The slump raises important questions about the health of their domestic demand which is still over-reliant on exporting. The internal economy still hasn't gotten over the real estate slump and the resulting defensive change in attitudes by their consumers.China's new home prices in October across their 70 major cities were unchanged from September, officially, but dropped -2.2% from the same month a year ago. This was the same year-on-year decline they had in September. Most analysts expected a lesser decline of -2.0%. Seven of the 70 cities posited modest year-on-year price gains. None posted any gains for resales.Meanwhile, China's retail sales held up better than expected, up +2.9% from a year ago with better holiday spending. Their official industrial production was up +4.9% from a year ago in October, a rather large easing in their 6.0% September growth rate.China's electricity production fell in October, but that was less than expected and less that the usual seasonal pattern so it was up an unusually large +7.9% from a year ago. That may have something to do with the electricity appetite by AI infrastructure.In India, bank loan growth stayed very high in October to easily a new record, even if the percentage rise wasn't as high as September. That is now three consecutive months where new debt has risen by more than +11% from the same month a year ago.In Canada, they released some September data over the weekend and it was quite positive. Their manufacturing sales rose +2.7% real, and their wholesale trade rose +0.6% real, both from August. Year-on-year it isn't so positive although manufacturing sales are almost back to those levels (-0.8%) after being down -4.1% in May. Both data sets indicate remarkable resilience, and their fast transition even after being dumped-on capriciously by the US.And there was some interesting data out over the weekend from the EU, where their trade surplus rose to +€19 bln in September. That was its best in five months and +50% better that year ago results. Driving the gains were exports to the US and the UK, offset somewhat by imports from India and Mexico. Imports from the US rose too but at a slower pace than the export activity. Imports from South Korea fell sharply. Trade activity with China was little-changed although it remains deeply negative (that is, more imports from China than exports to China).In the US there are clear signs investors are getting quite skittish about the risks of bonds tied to AI companies. Don't forget bonds have priority over equities, so the dive for insurance on bonds isn't a great sign. Bloomberg is reporting the demand for credit default swaps is surging for these bonds and they cite what is happening in Oracle's case. A surge in debt is expected to flood debt markets soon as these AI companies ramp up funding of their plans.And there is the news that Trump is now rolling back some of his tariff-taxes, because even he can see they have caused household inflation and the 'affordability crisis' he is being blamed for. US inflation pressure is moving the dial in money markets. The chance of a Fed rate cut on December 11 (NZT) is fading, and quite quickly, as professional traders scale back the bets on a cut rather sharply.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.15%, up another +1 bp from Saturday at this time up +7 bps for the week.The price of gold will start today at US$4081/oz, and down -US$17 from this time yesterday. That is up +US$17 for the week.American oil prices have held from Saturday to be just over US$60/bbl, with the international Brent price now just under US$64.50/bbl, up less than +US$1 from a week ago.The Kiwi dollar is now at just on 56.8 USc, and unchanged from Saturday, up +60 bps from a week ago. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 86.9 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 48.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 61.3, little-changed from yesterday, up +60 bps for the week.The bitcoin price starts today at US$94,374 and down another -1.5% from yesterday. That is its lowest since May 2025 and down -8.9% for the week. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been moderate at just on +/- 2.7%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Nuova mossa di Ovs nel retail. Il gruppo ha annunciato di aver presentato un'offerta vincolante per acquisire il 100% di Kasanova Spa, tramite la sottoscrizione di un aumento di capitale fino a 15 milioni di euro. L'operazione rafforza la presenza di Ovs nel segmento casa, dove è già attiva con il marchio Croff attraverso la catena Upim. Con una capitalizzazione superiore al miliardo di euro e un total return del 53% negli ultimi dodici mesi, la mossa di Ovs è considerata strategica ma ponderata, con l'obiettivo di consolidare la posizione nel mercato dell'arredamento e della casa. Facciamo il punto con Stefano Beraldo, a.d. OVS.Transizione 5.0: nata male, finita peggioIl Piano Transizione 5.0, avviato nel 2023 con una dotazione di 6,3 miliardi di euro dal Pnrr per sostenere gli investimenti 2024-2025, ha registrato un utilizzo delle risorse inferiore alle attese, spingendo il Governo a ridurre i fondi disponibili a circa 2,9 miliardi e a destinare i residui ad altri interventi. Nelle ultime settimane il Mimit ha comunicato il raggiungimento del plafond operativo di 2,5 miliardi, con oltre 13.000 progetti caricati sulla piattaforma del Gse. Nonostante l'annuncio dell'esaurimento delle risorse, le imprese continuano a presentare nuovi progetti fino al 31 dicembre, mentre il ministero lavora per reperire fondi aggiuntivi. Dal 1° gennaio sarà operativo un nuovo Piano Transizione 5.0 con ulteriori 4 miliardi di euro e piena continuità con la misura attuale. Il ministro Urso ha invitato le imprese a non dare credito alle "fake news" sulla chiusura della piattaforma e ha definito la misura uno strumento popolare di grande successo tra le Pmi. Interviene Carmine Fotina, Il Sole 24 Ore.Italiani con la valigia, in vent'anni 1,64 milioni di espatriIn vent'anni l'Italia ha contato 1,64 milioni di espatriati contro 826 mila rimpatri, con un saldo negativo di oltre 817 mila persone. Al 1° gennaio gli iscritti all'Aire sono 6,4 milioni, pari al 12% della popolazione residente. Il Rapporto Italiani nel mondo 2025 della Fondazione Migrantes, presentato a Roma, mostra come a partire siano soprattutto i giovani tra 18 e 34 anni e le famiglie che cercano all'estero migliori opportunità. L'indagine descrive un'Italia ancora Paese di emigrazione, segnata da squilibri territoriali e strutturali che spingono molti cittadini a lasciare le proprie province. Le donne rappresentano ormai quasi la metà degli italiani all'estero e la loro presenza cresce più rapidamente rispetto agli uomini. La mobilità è diretta soprattutto verso l'Europa e le comunità più numerose restano quelle in Argentina e Germania. Sicilia, Lombardia e Veneto guidano la classifica delle regioni con il maggior numero di residenti all'estero. Ne parliamo con Delfina Licata, Ricercatrice di Fondazione Migrantes e curatrice del rapporto.
In this episode, Ricardo discusses the role of luck and probability in project management. He explains that while luck can influence outcomes, it favors those who are prepared. Probability, he says, is not a prediction but a decision-making tool that helps manage uncertainty. Effective project managers turn randomness into results through preparation: identifying risks, creating contingency plans, defining triggers, and building buffers. Ricardo also warns against hindsight bias, which makes us underestimate luck after success. He recommends modeling uncertainty with scenarios, using simulations for high-risk decisions, protecting the critical path with buffers, and designing flexibility into projects. True management, he concludes, is not about eliminating luck but shaping how it affects outcomes—turning uncertainty into smarter choices and opportunities. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Neste episódio, Ricardo discute o papel da sorte e da probabilidade na gestão de projetos. Ele explica que, embora a sorte possa influenciar os resultados, ela favorece aqueles que estão preparados. A probabilidade, segundo ele, não é uma previsão, mas uma ferramenta de tomada de decisão que ajuda a gerenciar a incerteza. Gerentes de projeto eficazes transformam a aleatoriedade em resultados por meio da preparação: identificando riscos, criando planos de contingência, definindo gatilhos e construindo reservas. Ricardo também alerta para o viés da retrospectiva, que nos faz subestimar a sorte após o sucesso. Ele recomenda modelar a incerteza com cenários, usar simulações para decisões de alto risco, proteger o caminho crítico com reservas e incorporar flexibilidade aos projetos. A verdadeira gestão, conclui ele, não se trata de eliminar a sorte, mas de moldar como ela afeta os resultados — transformando a incerteza em escolhas e oportunidades mais inteligentes.

From PMI myths to hard credit pull fears, this listener Q&A episode breaks down the most common first-time homebuyer questions with real math and no fluff. Learn the right order of operations, how to shop for your mortgage, and when to start talking to a lender — all straight from the expert trusted by thousands of new homeowners.This episode dives into 10 of the most frequent and misunderstood questions first-time buyers ask when preparing to purchase a home. David Sidoni continues the “listener question” series with practical, myth-busting guidance on everything from pre-approvals and FICO scores to the real math behind PMI and rent replacement.Listeners will discover why starting early is the most powerful move, how to safely run a hard credit pull without hurting your chances, and why “shopping the rate” is one of the biggest traps new buyers fall into.

Episode Summary Project leadership is more than delivering on time and budget. It is about leading people with honesty, awareness, and courage. In this episode, leadership coach and author Susanne Madsen joins Cornelius Fichtner to discuss how project managers can transform their project outcomes by developing authentic leadership. Drawing from her acclaimed book, *The Power of Project Leadership*, Susanne explains the Project Leadership Matrix, how to assess whether we are proactive or reactive, and how self-awareness is the foundation of great leadership. She also unpacks how leaders can balance people and task focus while recognizing that reactivity often stems from corporate culture rather than personality.

There's a lot to keep on the radar to start the week's trading action. Kevin Green begins with PMI and ISM Manufacturing data hitting the wire. One data point gained traction while the other showed contraction.

In this episode, Ricardo explains why executives need to understand the logic of project management to make informed strategic decisions. Projects drive organizational changes, such as digital transformation, new products, entry into new markets, and mergers. Without understanding how projects add value and manage risk, leaders may fail to connect strategy to execution. Many focus only on "normal functioning," but the future depends on "business as change." By understanding the dynamics of projects, executives ask better questions, support teams effectively, and build a results-oriented culture. This knowledge helps them keep pace with the organization, prioritize efficiently, and see failures as learning opportunities. True leadership requires learning to think like a project, not like tools, but like governance, critical thinking, and value creation. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

Neste episódio, Ricardo explica por que os executivos precisam entender a lógica da gestão de projetos para tomar decisões estratégicas embasadas. Projetos impulsionam mudanças organizacionais, como transformação digital, novos produtos, entrada em novos mercados e fusões. Sem entender como os projetos agregam valor e gerenciam riscos, os líderes podem não conseguir conectar a estratégia à execução. Muitos se concentram apenas no "funcionamento normal", mas o futuro depende de "negócios como mudança". Ao compreender a dinâmica dos projetos, os executivos fazem perguntas melhores, apoiam as equipes de forma eficaz e constroem uma cultura orientada a resultados. Esse conhecimento os ajuda a acompanhar o ritmo da organização, priorizar com eficiência e enxergar as falhas como oportunidades de aprendizado. A verdadeira liderança exige aprender a pensar como um projeto, não como ferramentas, mas como governança, pensamento crítico e criação de valor. Escute o podcast para saber mais.
China will effectively suspend implementation of additional export controls on rare earth metals and terminate investigations targeting US companies in the semiconductor supply chain, the White House announced. The White House issued a fact sheet on Saturday outlining some details of the trade pact agreed to earlier this week by President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping that aimed to ease tensions between the world's largest economies. Also, there were some PMI releases across Asia. That would include South Korea and Taiwan. For more on the US-China trade fallout and the latest eco data, we turn to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets.Plus - More than half of S&P 500 companies have reported quarterly results and Uber Technologies and McDonald's earnings will likely underscore deteriorating consumer sentiment in the US.

In Build the Sidewalk Where People Already Walk, we explore what happens when project teams design based on real behavior instead of assumptions. Drawing from a Lean Coffee discussion and PMI's survey findings that the customer is the ultimate indicator of success, this episode challenges leaders to define “done” through the eyes of the end user. Kevin shares how observation, empathy, and feedback lead to better requirements, stronger outcomes, and lasting trust. Learn how to build projects that people actually use and appreciate.
In this episode, Ricardo discusses activity loops, which occur when tasks become predecessors and successors to each other, creating cycles that make schedule calculations difficult. Although schedules are designed for linear flows, engineering and innovation projects are often iterative, with constant revisions and feedback. Looping isn't a mistake, but it needs to be represented correctly. Ricardo suggests some ways to avoid this problem, such as creating successive versions (elaboration 1, 2, final), using intermediate milestones, or delayed start-start relationships. When interdependence is unavoidable, he recommends using the Design Structure Matrix (DSM), which maps circular relationships and helps plan blocks of iterative activities. The important thing is to choose the model that best represents the project's reality. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

O loop não é um erro, mas precisa ser representado corretamente.

Are you defining project success the wrong way? Most project managers are — at least according to PMI's Dave Garrett. Project Management Happy Hour hosts Kim Essendrup and Kate Anderson sit down with Dave — Senior Advisor at the Project Management Institute (PMI) and co-founder of ProjectManagement.com — for a frank and real conversation about PMI's new definition of project success to talk about how realistic it is, and what it means for the future of our profession. For decades, project success was judged by the “iron triangle” — scope, schedule, and budget. But PMI has officially redefined it: “A successful project is one that delivers value worth the effort and expense.” Dave explains how this updated definition shifts the focus from checking boxes to delivering outcomes that truly matter — and how every PM can start measuring success through value creation instead of rigid constraints. The discussion digs into PMI's new M.O.R.E. framework — a practical mindset for modern project leaders: M – Manage Perceptions: Build trust and alignment with stakeholders. O – Own Success: Don't just deliver; ensure the value lands. R – Relentlessly Reassess: Constantly re-evaluate priorities and adapt to change. E – Expand Perspective: See the bigger picture across business strategy, customers, and society. Dave also shares lessons from his early startup days building Gantthead.com, the dot-com crash, and how those lessons apply in today's AI-driven project world. You'll hear how the rise of automation is making project management more human, pushing PMs to lead through empathy, influence, and strategic insight rather than process checklists. If you've ever struggled with the question, “Was my project really a success?” this episode will give you a fresh, empowering way to answer it. Key Takeaways PMI's official definition of project success now centers on value, not just time, cost, and scope. The M.O.R.E. mindset helps PMs evolve beyond administrators into strategic leaders. AI will augment, not replace, project managers — freeing them to focus on human connection and business impact. “Success” is contextual: a delayed project that delivers exceptional value can still be a win.
