14 Enabling the Digital and Energy transition WIRED FOR INNOVATION, an events program that nurtures an innovation culture What are some of the ways to boost innovation in a company? The events program was set up by staff in response to employee feedback from the annual Speak Up survey, where people asked for more information about innovation. Two engineers in Research and Development, Marina Gandini and Pauline Audebet, volunteered to organize a series of live meetings with outside experts in their field taking place in the Prysmian Group auditorium. The expert is interviewed by a Prysmian Group executive in an hour-long format, including a 30-minute question-and-answer session. “They tell us about their experiences, informing us about technologies related to their fields,” explained Marina Gandini (Submarine Cable Development Senior Engineer). “Wired for Innovation wants to encourage every Prysmian employee to nurture his or her own curiosity, to explore the unknown and to ask ‘why’, regardless of their job function,” said Pauline Audebet (Material Innovation Engineer). One of them is to create an “innovation culture” where every employee can take part. That’s the idea behind “Wired for Innovation - Electrify the future”, a series of virtual events for Prysmian Group employees on topics ranging from major technological breakthroughs to how digital acceleration can positively impact the world of work.
