KNOWLEDGE4 POSITIVE IMPACT
We believe in the power of actions that shape the future, in the strength of ideas that inspire people. At this new editorial hub, Knowledge 4 Positive Impact, we are passionate about sharing knowledge, best practices and success stories about how individuals and organisations can make a positive and concrete impact on society and the environment.
Through articles, videos, interviews and podcasts, created in collaboration with our Faculty and POLIMI GSoM Community, we will address crucial topics such as purpose, innovation and sustainability. Our goal is to inspire tomorrow's leaders to drive change and help make a difference for a more sustainable future.

Pubblica Amministrazione
In the current landscape, characterised by increasingly limited public resources and growing social challenges, fundraising is emerging as a fundamental tool for Italian public bodies too. Traditionally associated with the Third Sector, fundraising is now considered to be a strategic opportunity for local authorities, schools, universities and healthcare companies.
Innovation & Digital Trasformation
In an era of unprecedented technological acceleration, businesses face complex challenges but also extraordinary opportunities. Digital transformation, driven by the advent of artificial intelligence, is redesigning business models, modes of operation, and work dynamics. But in this changing scenario, a crucial question arises: what is the ultimate purpose of this innovation? Is it still enough to pursue efficiency, profit, and scalability? Or is it time to redefine priorities, focusing on an authentic purpose, which is capable of directing economic and organisational action towards broader and more sustainable goals?
Artificial Intellingence Data Science and Business Technologies
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just an emerging opportunity, but a transformative factor that is now pervasive in the global financial ecosystem. From risk management to algorithmic trading, portfolio customisation to cybersecurity, the adoption of AI in finance is increasingly broad, structured, and strategic. In this scenario, the financial sector is configured not only as an early adopter of technology, but as one of its greatest catalysts.
Energy Management & Ecological Transition
In a world increasingly marked by the effects of climate change, water management is becoming one of the most urgent priorities for governments, businesses and institutions. The so-called “water crisis” is no longer a phenomenon confined to distant or developing countries: it also closely concerns Italy and the rest of Europe, where water scarcity and the obsolescence of infrastructure are compromising the security of supply, the quality of the resource and the efficiency of its use.
In the socio-economic landscape in which we live, characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, purpose - an organisation’s deepest raison d’être - is emerging as an essential strategic lever for addressing change. This is not an abstract ideal to be framed on a company wall, but an organisational principle that, if authentic and rooted, can become a powerful engine for internal alignment, employee motivation, innovation and positive impact.
General Management
What are the real impacts of an Executive MBA on the career of those who attend it? POLIMI Graduate School of Management decided to answer this question by analysing the employment data of EMBA alumni who graduated in 2023, just one year after completing the programme. The results not only confirm the effectiveness of the course but also paint a picture of profound professional transformation.
