Bologna, March 14 –
Combining on-court action with innovation and leadership issues to guide teams to success.
Virtus Segafredo Bologna, a team of reference in the world of sports, and BOOM, CRIF’s knowledge and innovation hub dedicated to education, training, and innovation on topics of technological, business, and frontier development, announce the launch of an exclusive collaboration to unite even more the world of sports and the corporate world, and offer unique and engaging experiences. This unique collaboration brings together two seemingly distant worlds – corporate innovation and competitive sports – to create a synergistic experience that promotes individual and team development.
The partnership is developed along two lines with specific targets: schools and companies. For schools, the collaboration includes a focus on “Healthy Support and Data Analysis” to combine passion for sports with technological innovation and education for the realization of activities dedicated to the school world!
The goal is to actively involve local schools, offering students engaging and interactive learning experiences. The activity designed aims to raise awareness of the values of sports, promoting responsible and respectful behavior toward opponents and their teammates, but also to develop innovative projects that can combine sports and data thanks to BOOM’s expertise in data science. Two main initiatives are planned: a first moment of teamwork to create a slogan, chorus, and choreography to encourage healthy cheering and a second moment with an education workshop themed data analysis in the world of sports. The joining of forces between BOOM and Virtus Segafredo aims to open new perspectives in the world of sports and innovation by offering young people tools and knowledge that can accompany their path of personal and professional growth.
Instead, the partnership linked to the corporate world is grafted within the “T.E.A.M Program: Taste Experience And Emotion” proposed by BOOM and Palazzo di Varignana, team-building experiences that expand horizons, enhance collaboration and generate high-level results for teams and companies.
The program focuses on creating unique experiences that can transform team collaboration through immersion in state-of-the-art spaces and by addressing situations outside the daily routine: the wide range of proposed initiatives are in fact designed to stimulate creativity, inclusion and collaboration by leading teams to think outside the box, in a cohesive manner for the development of innovative solutions.Companies will have the opportunity to select different locations (locations belonging to BOOM and Palazzo di Varignana) to develop team-building initiatives related to solidarity, environment, art, taste, innovation and relaxation, but also related to the world of sports with Virtus Segafredo Bologna.
Specifically, there are two initiatives:
- BOOM and Casa Virtus Alfasigma: The first moment of team-building activities will take place at BOOM, where BOOM coaches will lead corporate teams through engaging experiences and stimulating challenges.Afterwards, the second moment will be held at Casa Virtus Alfasigma, a unique and stimulating environment where participants will experience fun and interaction activities based on some simple game simulations. A unique opportunity to strengthen bonds and stimulate your team’s creativity.
- BOOM and Virtus Segafredo Arena- Pre-Match Tour: in addition to the experiences with the coaches, participants will have the opportunity to experience an exciting pre-match tour, savoring the unique and adrenaline-filled atmosphere of one of the most exciting sporting events with the possibility then to stay and watch the game live!
Both options offer outstanding opportunities to enhance collaboration, improve communication and develop a sense of belonging within the team. We are confident that these initiatives will make the team more cohesive and motivated, while promoting a positive and stimulating work environment. The BOOM and Virtus Segafredo partnership represents an original idea for the creation of innovative and effective skills development programs that meet the needs of an ever-changing market, and at the same time inspire by encouraging Sports Practice and a healthy and inspired fan culture
“We are confident that we can drive change and inspire success through engaging and stimulating experiences,” says Loretta Chiusoli, Group Chief and Organization Officer at CRIF and Managing Director BOOM. “As a Virtus Bologna fan, I couldn’t be more excited to combine a passion for sports with business innovation. This initiative will definitely be able to strengthen the bonds between people and have a positive impact on the local community, promoting the practice of sports and the culture of sports as a true passion. It is a unique opportunity to create a new and creative impact in businesses and our local area.”
“We are very pleased to announce this partnership between Virtus Segafredo Bologna and BOOM,” says Luca Baraldi, CEO of the Black V Nere. “By combining sports with business innovation, we are opening new doors for excellence and growth in both the sports world and businesses. This partnership will not only provide unique and engaging experiences for students, employees and companies, but will also bring a positive impact on the local community, promoting core values such as fair play, teamwork and responsibility.”
