transformation of work at a time when the diverse expectations of employees are becoming an important element of
companies' strategic thinking.

more inclusive, fairer, and more sustainable . This depends on the relevance and quality of the decisions made today, both in the public sphere and within companies.
The quality of decisions depends on the quality of the
processes that produce them. And it also determines the quality of our future lives: a good decision is one that is prepared, discussed, and adopted by those it affects.
