Diego Piacentini you will not hear certain only in his role as extraordinary commissioner for the digital agenda: the call for talents opened a few days ago, and closed at midnight yesterday, has received over three thousand applications. Now it’s up to him, to Paolo Barberis, and their staff, select and proceed to the creation of this startup at palazzo Chigi with which the former manager, Amazon has to change the public administration.
Thousands of events of interest and their cvs to the call of Piacentini. Is Paolo Barberis, councillor for innovation of the Chigi palace and a member of the Team for digital transformation, to tell the story in a post on Medium. Plenty of talent, then? Certainly, for now, of cvs: 3455, to be precise, arrived at the site of the government. The number may seem low, but if you consider the profiles that you requested is indeed likely that there are even 3500 people in Italy able to do what Piacentini asks. The commissioner, in fact, is looking for people with proven experience in Software Architecture, Mobile Application Development, Open Source Software, Information Security, API), Mathematics and Statistics, Predictive Models, Machine Learning, Product Design; only a small part of the competition is dedicated to profiles, more humanistic (where traditionally in Italy we go strong) as experts of communication and international relations.
For Barberis it is in any case a good sign, and the quantity of the curricula that the fact that knowing these skills will be useful beyond the twenty who will be selected:
The hard work starts now: select the talents to put together a team of determined and competent, composed of real "missionaries of modernity". At the moment we are a small group, and then to evaluate the profiles with the right attention, we could employ a few weeks. (…) Even when we will not have open positions, there will be a page "work with us" to continue to raise the professional profile of those who are interested in our mission. We are always available to learn new talents. (…) Scouting is not a job that lasts just the time of a call: we look around. The best way to work in the future with us and get noticed for what you’re doing and what you have made
Piacentini and his idea
Meanwhile, Diego Piacentini was in Milan these days. His first official release was on October 10, Assolombarda, for a conference on Interculturalism. The occasion for him to recount his experience of studying abroad, and so like to recommend to young people to have the same curiosity and the same open approach that over the years has created a generation more suited to the job today and also to the challenges of upgrading and innovation of your own country:
When you arrive in a new world, and you have to learn new rules, putting to the test their skills of listening, flexibility, it is completely normal to experience moments of frustration: it has to transform it into energy, thanks to the attitude for which it exceeds the debate sterile.
Also if you are getting in some of the public appearances, the commissioner is not of great words on his post. Understandable, since it is at the beginning of a biennial course, full of obstacles, and has yet to know his employees. the The feeling is that Diego Piacentini has upset the liturgies without even having started to work the matter of which you must take, that is, the digital divide, open access to the services of the public administration, transparency, and eGovernment. She did it simply by explaining the reason for its decision: give back. The return to the community a little of their time, their skills, and there’s a fee, rather spending out of their own pocket. The american mind from the parts of the Machiavelli leaves everyone open-mouthed. Or the crooked nose.
Diego Piacentini (center in photo), has made his debut in Milan three days ago while attending a conference Intecultura. Despite not having almost never spoke directly of his tenure, there have been many references that the former manager, Amazon gave it to the guys to talk about himself, which are valid also for this new and original position.
Startup against elephant
our cultural difficulty to welcome the give back for what it is, tells d a what can also here, perhaps, but difficult. Certainly in the United States works: the total value of the donations of former students to their university is of 30 billion dollars and the overall value of the return of professionals and successful investors in the public sector is us $ 300 billion. In Italy is about seventy times less, and considering the demography and Gdp we are still ten times below. Completely lacks the mentality.
What really seems to trigger in the depths of the perplexity around Piacentini (even a parliamentary question) is his decision to work for free for two years for the State, dealing with what he himself has defined in its first release of a series of laws, “sometimes incomprehensible”. the Everything will depend on the kind of quality and mentality of the people that surround you in the team, remembering what he said, and Henry Ford ("we need good people, not just good people"). You can endanger to wish him good job, that will start when the team, once formed, will be confronted with the organisational chart of the pre-existing, such as the Agency for Digital Italy, and of course ministries, local authorities, leaders-the boyars State.
here a small startup with extraordinary powers, beyond that of a large elephant with powers consolidated. We accept shares?
