ARTFUL LEADERSHIP - PRESENTAZIONE LIBRO E ESPERIENZA DI PRATICA THROUGHART®
***PRESENTAZIONE DEL LIBRO “ARTFUL LEADERSHIP” E PRATICA GUIDATA DI “CONTEMPLAZIONE ARTISTICA”***
con l’autrice Giorgia Madonno, intervistata da Luigi Boaretto (Co-founder and Equity Partner Astheria)
Un incontro dedicato alla scoperta dell’*Artful Leadership*, un approccio innovativo alla leadership attraverso l’arte. Durante l’evento, l’autrice del saggio *Artful Leadership,* in dialogo con Luigi Boaretto, introdurrà il suo testo ed esplorerà il legame profondo tra arte e leadership, proponendo una prospettiva trasformativa per orientarsi nella complessità e nell’incertezza del mondo organizzativo contemporaneo. Forte di un percorso professionale che intreccia management, HR e arti visive, Giorgia Madonno, racconterà come la pratica artistica possa diventare uno strumento potente per sviluppare una leadership diffusa, capace di attivare risorse interiori, intuito, empatia e creatività. In questo approccio l’arte non verrà approcciata come una semplice metafora, ma come un’esperienza viva: un modo per “sentire” la leadership, oltre che comprenderla.
L’evento includerà una sessione guidata di **Contemplazione artistica**, uno dei metodi ThroughArt®, pensato per favorire il dialogo tra i membri di un gruppo e sviluppare competenze sociali e di leadership attraverso l’esperienza diretta dell’opera d’arte. Un momento di pratica condivisa che permetterà ai partecipanti di sperimentare in prima persona il potere trasformativo dell’arte, dello sguardo, dell’ascolto e della riflessione collettiva.
L’evento è rivolto a leader, imprenditori, team leader, professionisti e HR alla ricerca di autenticità e ispirazione e invita a guardare al business come a un’opera d’arte e al leader come a un artista capace di generare significato, connessioni e cambiamento.
L’incontro rappresenta inoltre un’occasione preziosa per chi opera nel campo della facilitazione e dello sviluppo organizzativo per sperimentare direttamente un metodo di innovativo ed efficace e per esplorare le potenzialità applicative della facilitazione artistica nei contesti di team e di leadership.
**AGENDA**:
* **17:30 -** Apertura e saluti di **Andrea Romoli** (Managing Partner In Sprint)
* **17:45 - 18:30** \- Introduzione del Libro *Artful Leadership* e spiegazione di come, nel contesto di business attuale, l’arte può migliorare il nostro processo e le nostre competenze di leadership.
* **18:30 - 19:30** \- Pratica di “contemplazione artistica”: un percorso maieutico attraverso il quale **Giorgia Madonno** accompagnerà gli individui e il gruppo nell'esplorazione delle proprie reazioni e intuizioni rispetto a un’opera d’arte proposta, e stimolerà dialogo e costruzione di senso condiviso. In questa sessione l’opera verrà selezionata per attivare conversazioni su un tema organizzativo d’attualità: il cambiamento.
* **19:30 – 20:00** \- Chiusura\, networking e firma copie con l’autrice
**Giorgia Madonno** è artista visiva, art coach, imprenditrice e consulente con una lunga esperienza internazionale tra Asia, Europa e Stati Uniti. Dopo una carriera come HR Director e fondatrice di Marco Polo Consulting, ha creato **ThroughArt®** un approccio innovativo che integra arte e sviluppo organizzativo. È docente, curatrice di eventi culturali e promotrice di pratiche trasformative per leader, organizzazioni e, attraverso ritiri e laboratori, anche per singole persone in una logica B2C (Business to Consumer).

**State of Innovation with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®**
**🌟 Unlock Business Agility with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® 🌟**
Are you ready to transform your approach to problem-solving and innovation? **Join us for State of Innovation,** an immersive event designed to equip you with the mindset and tools necessary to thrive in today’s complex business environment.
**About the Event**
**Business Agility** is more than just a buzzword; it’s a mindset focused on achieving end results through collaborative efforts. It’s about how every team member contributes to creating solutions that everyone feels ownership of and are aimed at the goals we set out to achieve.
**Why is this important?** In a world marked by complexity, the ability of leaders to make informed decisions based on context is crucial. Instead of rigidly following best practices, leaders should embrace experimentation, learn from failures, and allow new practices to emerge organically.
**Business agility fosters:**
● **Innovation and Creativity:** Unlock the full potential of your team by encouraging creative solutions and empathetic collaboration.
● **Trust and Commitment:** Build solutions that everyone believes in and is committed to because they played a part in their creation.
● **Speed and Effectiveness:** Achieve swift
implementation and impactful results through continuous improvement and alignment among team members.
While traditional methods often rely on tools like post-its, we take it a step further. Using the **LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®** methodology,
developed by Robert Rasmussen and Per Kristiansen, we address major challenges in a unique and engaging way. This method helps teams create real-time strategies by building 3D models with LEGO® bricks, serving as metaphors for ideas, concepts, and realities.
**Why Attend?**
● **Interactive Learning:** Engage in hands-on activities that foster deeper understanding and innovative thinking.
● **Expert Facilitation:** Learn from Andrea Romoli, a seasoned facilitator in Design Sprint, **LEGO®** **SERIOUS PLAY®**, and Design Thinking processes.
● **Real-Time Strategy Building**: Experience a proven method for enhancing team collaboration and decision-making.
● **Creative Confidence:** Develop the skills to visualize and articulate your ideas, making invisible thoughts visible and tangible.

## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille.
Antonio

Road to HACK: Fine-Tune Your Own AI Model | Hands-On Workshop
Large language models are impressive out of the box — but they hallucinate, they're generic, and they need the cloud.
What if you could take a small open-source model and turn it into a domain expert that runs on your own hardware?
That's exactly what we're doing in this hands-on workshop.
**[Luca Massaron](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lmassaron/)** — data scientist, bestselling AI author, 3x Kaggle Grandmaster, and Google Developer Expert — will walk you through a complete fine-tuning pipeline from scratch: evaluate a base model, generate synthetic training data, fine-tune with QLoRA, and measure the improvement. All on consumer-grade hardware.
By the end of the session, you'll have a repeatable playbook for making small models punch way above their weight in any domain you care about.
**What you'll work through:**
Baseline evaluation of a pre-trained model → Synthetic dataset generation from real sources → Supervised fine-tuning with QLoRA (parameter-efficient, memory-friendly) → Post-training evaluation to measure the knowledge gain → **Bonus:** fine-tuning for classification tasks (sentiment analysis)
**What to bring:**
**Your laptop**. The workshop runs on Google Colab (free T4 GPU tier), so no fancy hardware required — just a browser and a Google account. If you have a machine with an NVIDIA GPU (16GB+ VRAM) or an Apple Silicon Mac (16GB+ unified memory), you can run everything locally too.
**This event is part of Road to HACK — the official warm-up series for [GDG AI HACK 2026](https://gdgaihack.com/).**
On May 8–10, 160 selected participants will compete in a 24-hour AI hackathon in Milan, with tracks spanning on-device AI, vision AI, and EdTech.
Fine-tuning is one of the most directly applicable skills you can bring to the hack.
Applications for GDG AI HACK 2026 are open **until April 17 →** [gdgaihack.com](https://gdgaihack.com/)

Coding with AI: the last 3 months - Matteo Vaccari
Per il mese di Marzo accogliamo nuovamente un ospite speciale, a un anno esatto dall'ultimo intervento fatto per noi. Esponente di spicco del movimento Agile ed XP in italia, membro storico del gruppo di *eXtreme Programming Milano* : **Matteo Vaccari**.
Portandoci *"Coding with AI: the last 3 month"* ci racconta le novità che ha esplorato e sperimentato negli ultimi mesi sul coding con l'AI.
\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-
**Abstract**
La programmazione assistita dall'IA si sta evolvendo rapidamente. Negli ultimi mesi sono emerse due tendenze: lo spec-driven development, ovvero la stesura di piani dettagliati prima della implementazione, e l'harness engineering, ovvero l'utilizzo di test, linter e controlli automatizzati per mantenere l'IA sulla strada giusta. Parlerò di questi trend e della nostra esperienza recente applicandoli a una codebase reale dove vogliamo (a) non scrivere mai codice a mano e (b) ottenere codice di alta qualità
**Bio**
Extreme programmer, Thoughtworker, trainer, coach and software developer. Deeply interested in what makes teams and companies successful beyond expectations! Any opinion expressed are my own.
\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-
**Dove ci troviamo?**
Anche questo mese siamo ospiti di [Thoughtworks Italia](https://www.thoughtworks.com/it-it/about-us/Chi-Siamo-Thoughtworks) nella sua sede milanese in Via Filippo Turati, 30:
* 18:45 Ritrovo e networking
* 19:15 Inizio attività

Italian Conversation Hour
Ciao a tutt\*!
Let's meet Monday at 6.30pm at the Upper Arlington Library (**Tremont** Branch) in **Meeting Room A** to speak in Italian for 1 hour.
ServiceNow's Got Talent
Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform.
Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live.
So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent.
Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value
🚀 Innovation
✨ User Experience
This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.
And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
