High jump and the enterprise

High jump and the enterprise

Is there in high jump history anything that can teach something to our enterprises?

The answer to this apparently strange question has been given at the prize giving ceremony of  Nord(b)Est Award third edition which was held at the Hangar, the beautiful convention hall of La Fornace di Asolo, on Friday May 23rd.

Twenty seven journalists, most of them young or very young, have taken part in the competition organized and sponsored by GC&P and CIMBA.

A jury composed of eight members coming from the world of journalism or from the economic world has selected five finalists and among them the winner,  Matteo Mohorovicich, a young journalist working for TG Regionale Veneto.

“Who innovates wins” is the title of the short film he has proposed which begins showing the well known “Fosbury flop” a backward jump with which Dick Fosbury astonished the whole world and won the 1968 olympic high jump competition.

After this original start the film continues presenting four entrepreneurs of our region very different from one another but with something important in common: their conviction that innovation is the real key to the success and development of their business.

The other four finalists have presented articles or films, all of high quality level, concerning women’s entrepreneurship, innovation and care for quality and service.

All of them have emphasized the ingeniousness, the organizational abilities and the commitment of many of our entrepreneurs.

Journalists are often seen, at least in Italy, as people who love to insist on the negative aspects of our society and to stress the defects of our own people. On the contrary all the participants have presented and stressed the good and positive aspects of many of our companies and the positive values of many of our entrepreneurs.

It is therefore correct to define them sowers of positivity and hope in the future.
