Hack:
The italian way to Humanistic Management 2.0

The aim of the site http://www.humanisticmanagement.eu/ is to show the particular italian approach to Humanistic Management, developed by Marco Minghetti in collaboration not only with a lot of managers, consultants, economists, but also philosophers, writers and artists like Milo Manara e The Nobel Prize Wislawa Szymborska. A multidisciplinary approach to understanding the complex, liquid, nature of the contemporary firm and society, alternative to  the pervasive presence of the “solid” Scientific  Management. The belief is that even in  the great madness of the contemporary age a method, an interpretation and a meaning can be found that all the actors playing out their roles and living out own their stories on the business and society stage can share.

In other words,  as Humanistic Management Manifesto points out, the italian vision of Humanistic Management isn’t a new paradigm, a new absolute, axiomatic truth, but rather a new type of discourse. A discourse that talks to us of how to catch the emergence of new things, of how one learns to learn, of how the one is affected by the world we belong to and, at the same time, how the world is (also) the fruit of our creative contribution.  Of how then to recommence reflection on the aims, in addition to the means, that puts “art” at the centre, as is revealed to us at the highest level by poets, novelists and playwrights: by “humanists” in the Renaissance sense, storytellers, sensemakers through the novel, poetry, autobiography, the theatre and the cinema, but in the same time  the social networking e the web 2.0.
