RESILIENCE
TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP alking about resilience has acted as a bridge to the topics that will be covered in the next issue of EVOLVE, which will be dedicated to the sense of entrepreneurship each employee has within a company. Under the Motto “Not just the company, This is your company!”, we will get into the logic behind the creation of value that is generated by the proactive efforts of each member of the team. We will ascertain how important the sense of entrepreneurial responsibility put at the service of an organization is: before being a life choice and professional commitment, Entrepreneurship at Maire Tecnimont is a way of being. As it is in the case of complex projects, such as the one in Amursky, in extreme Siberia, a construction site where temperatures go from 30 degrees in the summer to 50 degrees below zero on long winter nights. The entrepreneurial history of our founder Fabrizio Di Amato teaches us that by putting oneself on the line without hesitation (at the age of 17, the current Chairman of Maire Tecnimont was already running a small company and at 19 he started his own business with three employees), working hard and becoming accustomed to looking towards the future, in time one comes to create a solid group in which excellent skills make the difference.

There are several testimonials in the pages of this issue of EVOLVE. The theme of resilience has been explored both from a personal perspective as well as from the group approach. In the interview with Alessandro Blasi, Special Advisor of the IEA Executive Director, we have seen how the energy system as a whole has remained very resilient, despite the impact of the pandemic. Maire Tecnimont CEO Pierroberto Folgiero spoke about systemic risk and suggested a sustainable direction for changing social, economic and financial reference values. Then there is the fundamental contribution of the Chairman of our Group, Fabrizio Di Amato, who explained how the Circular Districts project - developed by NextChem - contributes to the definition of a sustainable development model for the environment and economic growth. In the next issue of EVOLVE we will see how the ability to engage employees to create a sense of responsibility around common values is one of the pillars to renew culture within an organization.

Before being a life choice and professional commitment, Entrepreneurship at Maire Tecnimont is a way of being.
what Professor Andrea Prencipe, Rector of Luiss and Full Professor of Organization and Innovation, told us in a previous issue of EVOLVE, stating that «organizations and the human beings who live in them are characterized by an intrinsic resistance to change linked to practices, methods and culture», at Maire Tecnimont change is also managed through the sense of responsibility and leadership inherent in each team. «Managers must set an example for their team - says CEO Folgiero - and start thinking with fewer stop lights and more traffic circles: everyone must be helped to express their effective contribution». Only by building the success of a Group together, do we create that shared value of “being entrepreneurs, in a network of entrepreneurs”. Will this be the path to developing the resilience needed to face the continuous changes taking place in the energy sector? We will answer this is in EVOLVE issue 7.
