The Slingshot Group of Future Shapers - "Exploring the Intersections" event series. The most powerful and exciting areas of innovation lies at the intersection of traditionally separate industries and organizations. Companies that are first to discover and occupy these intersections are future shapers, able to create market-driving and lifestyle-changing new value propositions. The first Slingshot Group is being launched in Italy, a country of rich, cultural heritage as the intersection point of world-changing ideas. The initiative will be replicated worldwide, creating a global network of future shapers.

1. THE INITIATIVE
• In our fast-evolving world, one of the most powerful and exciting areas of
innovation lies at the intersection of traditionally separate industries and orga-
nizations. Companies that are first to discover and occupy these intersections
are future shapers, able to create market-driving and lifestyle-changing new
value propositions.
• Gabor George Burt is the creator of the Slingshot Framework, the globally
acclaimed methodology that enables organizations to re-imagine market
boundaries for expanded relevance.
• Massimo Tammaro is the former Commander of the Italian Aerobatic Team -
Frecce Tricolori - the largest aerobatic team in the world, currently sought-after
leadership expert and Executive Consultant at Ferrari.
• Gabor and Massimo are teaming up to combine their highly complementary,
future-shaping expertise to lead an exclusive event series in Italy. Under the
name “The Slingshot Group of Future Shapers”, these invitation-only events
bring together the brightest minds from 5-6 outstanding Italian companies of
different industries - with the purpose of exploring the strategic intersections
among them.
• The first Slingshot Group is being launched in Italy, a country of rich, cultural
heritage as the intersection point of world-changing ideas. The initiative will
be replicated worldwide, creating a global network of future shapers.

THE FORMAT
The events series consists of 2 phases
PHASE 1: Slingshot Workshop
A two-day, experiential workshop in which the executive teams of participating
companies undergo Slingshot Framework training separately. The purpose is for
each company’s team to learn and apply the framework individually in order to
re-imagine the boundaries of its current business and market space.
PHASE 2: Slingshot Symposiums
A series of four, one-day symposiums in which teams of participating companies
are brought together to explore the strategic intersections among them. The sym-
posiums consist of Slingshot Framework application, inter-company discussions
and project work, as well as exposure to visionary speakers and best practices
among group members.
Following the completion of both phases, additional events and an exclusive
“Slingshot Future Shapers” club membership are planned, which will insure con-
tinuous collaboration among participating companies, as well as the ongoing
development of initiatives at their intersection. These activities will be centered at
Villa Bartolini (see below).
PARTICIPANTS AND VENUE
PHASE 1: Each participating company sends a team of up to 20 executives.
Teams are composed of the companies’ high-potential, talented, young execu-
tives, who are best suited to assume the role of
future shapers.
The venue for Phase 1 is Villa Bartolini, which
provides the ideal environment for experiential
learning. The former residence of the famous
poet, novelist, and playwright Elio Bartolini,
the charming, 17th century Venetian villa is set
in a beautiful park in the middle of a medieval
village.
PHASE 2: Each participating company sends a team of 8 executives simultane-
ously, giving a total group size of 40-48 people. Team members are chosen from
among the 20 who take part in Phase 1.
The venue for Phase 2 rotates among the headquarters of participating compa-
nies - providing the opportunity to host the group and share best practices with
each other.
