Being part of the BBS Alumni community means playing an active role in shaping the future. This is the purpose behind the Management Frontiers<\/em> Open Program, which each year explores a different theme, continuing to offer tools and perspectives to understand and navigate complexity.<\/p>\n

The theme chosen for this edition is vision: imagining, designing, building. The Italian Dream<\/strong><\/em> by Alec Ross<\/strong> will serve as the compass for a journey that, through a series of dualities \u2014 young and old, form and substance, learning and superficial stimuli, short term and long term, unity and division, innovation and tradition \u2014 will guide participants in exploring business, social and humanistic issues, with the aim of drawing a shared map to interpret the present and shape the future.<\/p>\n

Regardless of participants\u2019 country of origin, this Open Program aims to be a school for the future, fostering awareness and a genuinely critical perspective, capable of offering fresh insights into the most relevant issues Alumni face every day<\/strong>. An opportunity for shared reflection, as objective as possible, on the challenges of growth, prosperity and transformation.<\/p>\n

Delivered online with a final in-person session, the course once again combines theory and practice. A series of highly inspirational lectures, featuring speakers including Francesco Cupertino<\/strong> (Full Professor and former Rector, Polytechnic University of Bari), Alessandro Cillario<\/strong> (Co-CEO & Co-Founder, Cubbit), Ari Wallach<\/strong> (Executive Director and Founder, Longpath Labs and Co-Founder, Futurific), Marco Lombardo<\/strong> (Senator of the Italian Republic), Paolo Barberis <\/strong>(Founder Nana Bianca e Dada) and Luciano Belviso<\/strong> (Co-Founder and CEO, Mirai Robotics), will be complemented by a day on Campus dedicated to activities exploring the theme, discussion and networking.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the foundations of society will take us beyond geographical and disciplinary boundaries, offering participants the opportunity to consider its underlying values and how these can shape their professional, social and personal experience. A journey to imagine the future, understand the present and contribute, with greater awareness, to shaping change<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
