Platform “Insieme 24 SI”
Poste Italiane, in order to consolidate its sustainable development strategy, launched in 2021, “Insieme 24 SI’”, the platform for collecting ideas and contributions aimed at the entire Group population. It is open to the entire population and transversally involves the different areas of the company’s organisation, consistent with the objective of responsible growth and the process of digitalisation and social cohesion, promoting proactivity, innovating and creating shared value. Within the framework of Poste Italiane’s Strategic Plan, “Insieme 24 SI” represents a space in which the contribution of all stakeholders is taken into account, as fundamental contributors to the realisation of the Plan. This initiative fits within the eight pillars of the sustainability strategy, highlighting the Group’s commitment to actively involve the business community in order to contribute significantly to the Company’s sustainable development path.
The first edition, which opened in November 2021, was immediately followed by the second, which ended in September 2023. Both editions received wide involvement and interest, with more than 1,300 proposals submitted by colleagues and subsequently evaluated by more than 50 business managers from all business functions from the programme’s launch to date.
During the course of these two editions, two Bootcamp events were organised, veritable “innovation marathons” in which more than 470 participants worked in teams to develop and explore their proposed ideas and presented their pitches to the jury of in-house managers.
From the outcome of the two Bootcamps, the best 20 proposals were selected, which then followed a typical start-up incubation path. The teams, comprising a total of 115 people, worked with agile/sprint methodology and, thanks to internal mentors and external tutors, produced prototypes that were later presented live to top management during the programme’s final events. Some of these prototype solutions, supported by the business functions, are currently going through a consolidation and implementation phase, with the aim of turning into concrete projects capable of generating a positive impact inside and outside the company.
Both editions registered a wide participation and involvement, also witnessed by the accesses to the intranet and campaign news (about 60 thousand in total) and the likes collected during the social vote of the ideas (about 36 thousand).
