Every day we are faced with various activities that require us organize lots of different information. For example, organizing a trip involves planning the route, booking transportation and accommodation, deciding what to pack, etc. Each of these activities contains many others that need to be systematized. If the ability to • innovative business organization based on the use of technologies and digitalization of internal and external processes, as well as the active and continued promotion of the services we offer through business development, marketing and communication systems (letter "I" of our logo actually stands for "Innovation"); is effective, then the task will be accomplished with relative ease and precision.
We are at episode number 35 of the column “Mental gymnastics" for a "Winning Brain” the result of the collaboration of FIRST online Professor Giuseppe Alfredo Iannoccari, neuropsychologist, professor at the State University of Milan and president of Assomensana, the association for the development and enhancement of mental activities.
