Lessons for banking strategists from those ‚selling excellence, quality, success and optimism‘. Of course, I refer to the luxury industry. Taking a leaf from the strategy playbook of the Italian fashion doyens, Prada, Armani, Cucinelli or LVMH CEO Pietro Beccari show cases the modern management paradigm of recent years. >> Their strategy is not merely fighting competition, its continuous search for new business opportunities. Innovation is about meeting unmet customer needs. And people management is a function that enables individuals to create more value for customers. >> Each has established a distinctive aesthetic approach, yet all are creating an identity that transcends what they sell, proposing an experience centred around the brand. >> In times when industries converge, their craftsmanship and creativity is best revealed in dialogue with other disciplines, exploring the relationship between fashion and cinema, but architecture, design and sports. A case in point is the creative partnership between Giorgio Armani and Italian photographer Aldo Fallai, as I recently discovered in an exhibition at Armani/Silos. Spanning over three decades, their creative dialogue transformed our way of dressing, and also our way of thinking about clothes as a way of being over a way of appearing. Sure, then and now, marketing fashion reflects rampant consumerism and sometimes an outdated perspective on ideal womanhood. But for me, the debate is about their trans–disciplinary approach, the layered knowledge of consumer trends throughout history, and their management style putting humanity, subjectivity before ‚the system‘ which allows to create new value. #strategy An Aldo Fallai photograph of a look from Armani’s collection in the 80s taken by me at Armani/Silos

This week, I had the honor of attending the Bank and Security conference organized by Associazione Bancaria Italiana Milano, the Italian Banking Association and CERTFin - CERT Finanziario Italiano. I engaged in a roundtable discussion focused on cyber threats and their potential as systemic risks to the European financial system. Joined by experts claudio impenna, Luca Boselli, Domenico Raguseo, Valentina Raineri, Romano Stasi, and Francesco Spini we explored the necessity of unified strategies for identifying and mitigating threats, as well as the pivotal role played by artificial intelligence. At Mastercard, we’ve cultivated specialized knowledge and devised solutions aimed at safeguarding our network and affiliates, ensuring secure transactions, and aiding organizations in defending against cyber and systemic dangers. We acknowledge the critical need to evaluate the entire supply chain concerning cyber, ESG, sanctions, and geopolitical risks. Our expertise allows us to facilitate the automation of this traditionally labor-intensive process.   #Mastercard #cybersecurity #ABI #CertFin, #AI
