3. THINK! (The Innovation Knowledge Foundation)
intende dar vita a un Istituto di ricerca internazionale
indipendente e non-profit – un Think Tank – che si
ponga l’obiettivo di raccogliere, elaborare, condividere e
diffondere conoscenze sull’utilizzo delle tecnologie ICT,
digitali e science-driven per promuovere i processi di
innovazione, la crescita economica e lo sviluppo umano
nelle economie mature, emergenti ed in via di
sviluppo, in un’epoca caratterizzata dalla centralità dei
temi della sostenibilità ambientale ed energetica.

19. Lo stato dell’arte nel nostro Paese
• Al momento, ad esclusione di rare eccezioni (ISF), le
organizzazioni NonProfit tendono ad avere un rapporto
occasionale e marginale con l’ICT…
• A loro volta I’Industria ICT ha un’idea estremamente
vaga del Terzo Settore e del suo grande potenziale…
• Come risultato l’Industria ICT tende semplicemente a
riciclare in questo settore prodotti general purpose…
• … e il “Manager NonProfit” rimane spesso un ossimoro.

20. Profit o NonProfit?
Le Organizzazioni NonProfit svolgono un ruolo
fondamentale:
• nel promuovere l’uso delle Tecnologie ICT per favorire
lo sviluppo umano
• nel garantire la sostenibilità ambientale ed energetica
delle Nuove Tecnologie (caso Apple/Greenpeace)
A sua volta, il mondo del NonProfit può aprire i
nuovi grandi mercati della Qualità della Vita, dell’
Educazione, della Salute, dell’ Inclusione Sociale,
oggi trascurati dall’ approccio miope e di breve
termine di molti dei maggiori Vendor ICT
20THINK! The Innovation Knowledge Foundation

21. Il futuro sta quindi in un grande sforzo di
orchestrazione dell’intervento delle
Organizzazioni non profit e delle Imprese ICT,
In vista di un impegno comune in direzione di
una concezione estesa dello sviluppo umano.
