Fearless organizations
Amy C. Edmondson‘s new book (Harvard Business School) is out, edited by Franco Angeli. A further step in the evolution of companies.
We will be finally able to face fear, one of the taboo themes of organizations, with managerial logic. Fear proliferates where there is a low grade of psychological safety, with significant damage to the health of both people and business. Increasing psychological safety frees up huge resources that greatly improve performance.
The preface of the italian edition is written by Tiziano Capelli and Marina Capizzi co-founder PRIMATE and Carlo Giardinetti MBA.

DON’T DIE OF MEETINGS.
An effective method for organizing smart meetings that are good for people and business
Would you like to hold only useful meetings, with a clear goal to take home in a defined time? Would you like to leave the meeting with more energy than when you entered? We know, succeeding is not easy. BUT YOU CAN DO IT!
In this volume, we present “TheMeetingCircle”, a method to organize truly profitable meetings; a model that is the result of the most modern international organizational developments and the contribution of neuroscience. In the book you will find a kit that will help you to plan meetings in a fun way, transforming them into smart meetings, through a few steps: finalization, focus and flow – that is, getting the most with the least effort.
Marina Capizzi and Tiziano Capelli – Co-founder PRIMATE’s, Franco Angeli
The heartbeat of the business
For some years now we have felt out of place in the world of business consultancy, where we have been operating since the 90s. Hundreds of projects considered “successful”.
So much gratitude from thousands of people. But inside, frustration was growing: outside of projects,
too little was transformed in organizations, compared to what is needed in this whole new era.
Too slow, too much distance between problems and decisions, too much talent wasted in every workstation, in every desk …
and in a circle of stress, fear, de-responsibility …
Together with the clients, we were looking for a different way and sense.
Shortness of breath. Vacuum dive into the heart.
We weren’t well.
With some clients, we felt the desire to start learning again, to co-design to discover new paths.
Together, we moved to the border.
In 2017 we founded PRIMATE.
We wanted to look this world in the eye.
With the passion, the responsibility and the audacity to make ability, vulnerability and imperfection sprout together. To let new visions and gestures emerge.
We went back to the origin, where actions shape the body, the mind and the world.
Together with our travel companions, we started to release energy and widespread talent.
We turn on the courage that warms the fear, we experiment.
Even with thousands of people.
And we put new disciplines and tools into circulation to mix work and meaning.
Day by day.
People, companies and communities can tune in their breath and beat.
To make the heart of the business beat.
PRIMATE is a Benefit Corporation and a Certified B Corporation®
Born as Benefit Corporation, since the beginning we sought recognition as B Corp™, because it was deeply linked to our PURPOSE…
During an era of epochal change, PRIMATE was born with the intention of contributing to the evolutionary leap of humanity, organisations, and communities, by freeing positive energies, innovating models and practices, and co-creating places where daily routine assumes meaning for oneself, for the business and the communities in which we live and work.
This is the footprint we want to leave on the world.
These are the questions we asked ourselves in 2017, when we were born

11 Ways to Improve Your Retrospectives
Possibly the most important part of your Agile journey is your ability to inspect and adapt. This helps you to constantly iterate and improve your output, methods, processes, and product. A retrospective provides the opportunity to look back on the sprint you’ve just completed and make plans to improve in the future. Here are 11 ways to ensure your retrospectives are successful.
What is a retrospective? A retrospective is a meeting held for the purpose of reflecting on the product development or workflow process. The aim of a retrospective is to look closely at the processes and products produced during a sprint, discuss these as a team, and decide on a way forward together to drive constant improvement.
A retrospective is also known as a Scrum retrospective, retrospective meeting, a sprint retrospective, or simply a retro.

SENSE & RESPOND
Who’s in charge of leading organizations,
has also the responsibility of looking for a new path.
Sense & Respond is an easy but revolutionary synthesis. In fact, through many business cases, it shows how the mindset of many organizations was born during the industrial era. That is over. Nothing is the same, even if it may seems so. We’re in the digital era: a momentous gap, more culturally than technologically. Concepts and methods, that were reference points for generations of managers, don’t work any more: for example, facing uncertainty and complexity with detailed plans. But most organizations still keep on working in the same way as in the past.
This book reveals how what we consider an inevitable problem is in fact the result of a deeper and deeper gap between our mental habits and reality.
So, where can we start from, and how can we go on? Read more
