Previously partners of ECSI Consulting, named by ALM Intelligence as one of the Top 5 global strategy & innovation consulting firms.
Farri worked as researcher for Harvard Business School’s Europe Research Centre in Paris. Cervini has worked at HBR Italia.
In their September 2022 Harvard Business Review article, ‘How Sustainability Efforts Fall Apart,’ co-written with Gabriele Rosani, they explain how firms are often unable to systematically scale their initiatives in sustainability. The reasons for this, they argue, are the hidden internal enemies, who are resistant to change. These enemies are structure and governance, processes and metrics, culture and leadership, and methods and skills. They outline concrete countermeasures that can be put in practice to fight back against them and achieve sustainability at scale.
Both are vice presidents and co-leads of Capgemini Invent’s Management Lab, a research centre that bridges the academic and business worlds, Farri has worked in strategy and consulting, advising Fortune 500 corporations in transformative projects and supporting executives becoming high-performing teams.
