Adaptability and resilience
During the team building event, held in Catania on 29 May 2024, CEO Giuseppe Ursino said: ‘From 2022 the world has started to run… there have been and will be big changes and we cannot do anything about it, only adapt, getting out of the comfort zone‘.
This philosophy, based on adaptability and resilience, enabled the group to overcome the financial crisis caused by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, to emerge unscathed from the pandemic and to cope with the current inflationary and geopolitical crisis, the result of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Human resources at the centre
With a vision to value human resources as a fundamental asset, Ursino emphasises the importance of learning by doing and 3 fundamental KPIs that every JOer must have: technical skills, positive attitude and support for the cluster’s holonic system.
These principles have contributed and will contribute to creating – according to the CEO – a working environment where diversity of approach and mentality coexist, pushing the organisation to scale new heights.
JO Group today
Today, JO Group stands out for its innovative business lines, which include national and European projects, SaaS platforms such as e-Logos, ULOI and MedicalFAD, serious games, and management consulting, digital marketing and much more.
