The motion of enterprises is not linear: every day, the natural friction of change and major global transformations lead, at a rapid pace, to inevitable collisions and impose difficult choices.
Momentum is the smallest fraction of time to seize, in the face of every crossroads, the opportunities for innovation and to impart the decisive direction to the business.
Momentum is the propelling intuition to stay in the marketplace in a way that is always dynamic and competitive, to turn the march of the company into a race.
Momentum is the minimum note to sing together with people inside and outside the company, in order to write new scores: for a more responsible, ethical and sustainable business that plays to the rhythm of our time.
Momentum is breaking the laws of conservation with impetus but also with foresight, to fuel the motion and nurture the growth of teams and talents even when the road is uphill.
Momentum is multiplying ideas at the speed of change, gaining new speed and accelerating the future of business.
