Reboot Internet! Who 'broke' the network? Who's responsible for fixing it?

Born as a space for creative freedom and democratic participation, the Internet has transformed into a vast arena dominated by economic interests.

With a candid and friendly tone, yet at the same time with the authority of someone who has been working in this field for over twenty years, Cristiano Carriero shares his experience in the communication sector and confronts readers with the current reality: a fluid reality, where those who want to become content marketers need to learn strategies, use tools, and experiment with platforms.

HOEPLI - THINKING THE FUTURE: Greg Hoffman – Designing Emotions - Lessons in creativity from a lifetime at Nike, with Cristiano Carriero and Riccardo Scandellari

Often, brands promote the "culture of identity," building teams around the personalities of leaders, thus avoiding dreamers with their eyes wide open, ignoring the taciturn because they assume that being introverted is a sign of weakness, and seeking those who resemble them. But often creative success comes from listening to people who don't think like us, from those dreamers who, faced with something taken for granted, look at you with a spark in their eyes and say, "What if..." We discuss this with Riccardo Scandellari and Cristiano Carriero, Hoepli authors, speakers, and branding experts.

The Monkey in the Drawer

In the drawer, we keep the most precious things, dreams, and everything we don't have the courage to be or show. We all have projects, goals, and aspirations, real monkeys that remain trapped, unable even to scream out of frustration at having to stay locked in a drawer. Silently. Most people have to face the fear of exposure every day. This is the first communication manual for introverts.

HOEPLI - THINKING THE FUTURE: It Takes Courage - For a sustainable and inclusive company

Courage in the workplace is not a heroic and solitary gesture but can become an alliance, the courage of many. There is a new way of doing inclusive business, and Sara Taddeo will explain it to us, prodded by her interviewers. It's easy to talk about courage, but without concrete examples, one doesn't get far. In her book, Sara shares reflections, anecdotes, thoughts, conversations, ideas, models, opinions, stories, and even some tools. And, above all, courageous professional experiences. Because our courage always influences that of the people around us and, if well directed, it can become collective courage and social responsibility.

GENERATIONS IN COMPARISON - Marketing and communicating with five generations of users

Tell the truth: how many times have you listened to your boss thinking "Ok boomer" or looked at the young intern wondering if they knew how to do anything besides scrolling on their smartphone? Today, we are required to always be up to date or even ahead of the market, but the problem is that decisions are often made by people with different mindsets who are forced to collaborate. The risk that generational stereotypes may cause us to miss incredible opportunities is too great to be overlooked: on stage, Rachele Focardi, author of "Generazioni a confronto", will confront a Millennial and a Gen Z to help us understand how to avoid it.

The dark side of the hyperconnected reality

Refrigerators that do the shopping for us, cars that drive while we read a book, software that works for us. But also, televisions that listen to our conversations, algorithms that profile our tastes, spyware ready to sneak into our smartphones to steal our data. Digital transformation is changing our relationship with the world: "things" are becoming increasingly intelligent, bringing us a more comfortable life and endless opportunities, but also ever-new risks. And the possibility of controlling them, of course, albeit at the cost of gradually sacrificing our freedom. Are we really 'Watched and Happy"?

Make peace with power: understanding organizations as they are, not as we would like them to be

The power does not enjoy a good reputation. Statements like 'less power and more leadership' and pre-packaged recipes on how to lead a group fill books and articles. However, the reality of organizations is quite different. Power exists, indeed. The meeting is dedicated to this unwelcome guest, to understand how it operates, to conquer it when necessary, and to exercise it effectively. Because playing the game of power is the most practical way to make things happen
