Success is the result of clear objectives and a company manager at the helm. Among the critical elements is precisely the lack of competent leaders, while the very strong resistance to change is emerging in a widespread, one might say transversal way, even in the largest companies. The smaller ones look above all at improving the product and the production process, however they are reluctant to make a strategic leap; for the big ones it’s about tackling the digital transition and sustainability.
