The Scenarios of Growth

How to enable business success and the success of a brand in all its strategic and operational aspects?

This challenge must be addressed courageously by those who reject a model of unsustainable development understanding that the answer cannot be happy de-growth.

A challenge taken on and re-launched by Future Concept Lab for its 2015 series of Future Vision Workshops dedicated to the global challenge to be faced in coming years: to fuel happy growth, with a vision of prosperity.
Central to the analysis, trends and strategies presented will be the theme of growth, outlining a new map of the society and the market, and collecting the requests of companies who must interact in an innovative way, using regenerated tools.

On the occasion of each seminar, Felice Limosani – multidisciplinary creative and digital storyteller – will present innovative projects, created to relaunch the “relationship” of Institutions and Companies with the territory and the market.

The workshops will: allow for a global vision of the phenomena taking place in the world of supply and demand, provide insights as to the most significant consumer trends and markets, offer a selection of emerging successful and incisiveness case studies, supply a set of tools and techniques to be activated in order to face the most advanced societies and to support the expansion of the brand.

Developing strategies for the coming years, defining new projects and renewing their market position. This is the objective of the four workshops that connect on a strategic level to the themes developed by Francesco Morace in his new book Crescita Felice. Percorsi di futuro civile (published by Egea, January 2015). Themes that will be reflected on during the Festival della Crescita, organised by Future Concept Lab between the 15th and 18th October at Palazzo delle Stelline, on the occasion of Milano Expo 2015.
