Workshop: Sustainability – the new paradigm of Value and Cultural Innovation

28 October 2022

The concepts of Value and Cultural Innovation are preponderant in decision-making at the business level, where, in this context, sustainability has assumed a relevant role over the last few years. As a facilitator in the process of knowledge transfer to improve the performance of regional companies, PACT organizes, on November 9, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, the face-to-face workshop “Sustainability – the new paradigm of Value and Cultural Innovation”. This action is free and limited to 20 people, so registration is mandatory and can be done here.

The widespread discussion around sustainable development and the problems associated with this topic has triggered, over the last few years, a change of mindset at the corporate level. Thus, the need to analyze the business models, the processes adopted, reassess the life cycle of the products, has become progressively more evident, in order to minimize social and environmental impacts. Failure to adopt measures to mitigate these impacts will have consequences, not only in these areas, but also in terms of the competitiveness of companies. Thus, it becomes evident the need to associate the concept of innovation and value with the concept of sustainability in companies, as a trigger for restructuring organizational processes for the development of more innovative products adapted to today’s needs.
