A renewal for the benefit of our young people

When I decided to change jobs in life, sometimes there was no logical reason. I knew I would find it later. So when I was offered the opportunity to leave the private world to experience the public ecosystem, I decided that I would find the meaning of this choice along the way. And so I did.

Two years after this transition, I made sense of things. I simply needed to think bigger. The Minister for Public Administration, Paolo Zangrillo, wanted to give a strong signal of discontinuity with the appointment of the new governance of Formez. But what made my task easy was the fact that with him a season of profound renewal has begun. Simplification, technological innovation, and merit are themes that are part of my DNA.

In this new environment, I have met many valuable people with a sense of responsibility. I have acted to give visibility and a hearing to those who deserve it, often ignoring roles and hierarchies.

The project we are living in Formez is based on a focus on tangible results. We have listened to our members, who have rewarded us with 88% satisfaction, and to this we can add that membership of our Institute has increased by 15%.

The idea of using the Institute as a laboratory for public administrations has allowed us to focus on innovation, particularly the use of AI. The webinars we have been running since June 2024 have reached around 100 thousand beneficiaries and positive feedback of over 90%; the first virtual assistant for competitions has answered over 70 thousand questions in 7 months, and an annual benefit of over 1 million hours of waiting time is expected to be saved by participants; the profile selection tool for external consultants that we have launched will save 15 thousand hours and improve quality by 40%; we inaugurated the new method of assessing results and leadership right from the start and produced the training course on the same subject to support the Dfp for all civil servants; the procedures related to control and transparency were further strengthened, and we brought new people into the team on the basis of merit. Social trends were also significant, with more than 53 per cent more Linkedin followers, the platform for professionals.
