The latest evolution of BallSystem training is underway, a travelling programme that directly involves body shops within the company’s network, which will host course participants at their own facilities. Travelling throughout Italy, the Academy On The Road provides an opportunity for BallSystem trainers, body shops and local partners to meet and exchange ideas, with the aim of enriching knowledge, fostering synergies and promoting dialogue between body shops from different regions of Italy, thus enhancing the experience of belonging to a network of excellence such as BallSystem.
Carlo Mottola, the company’s Chief Operating Officer and Academy Director, shared his perspective:
“I thought that this travelling approach might give even greater visibility to the body shops that are joining or are already part of the Green Partner programme. Allowing these facilities to host staff, and above all the owners of the body shops, from different parts of Italy creates opportunities to increase interaction between operators in the same sector who are not competitors, thereby fostering a virtuous circle of excellence within the body shop industry.
This idea came to me precisely because, in my daily work and conversations with our partner body shops, I perceived this need and immediately proposed the project to my colleagues, who were enthusiastic about it.
I believe this will be a very welcome enhancement to our programme, not only for our partners but also for our customers, who will be able to rely on a cohesive network of excellence made up of dedicated professionals.”
Andrea Giovanardi, the company’s Network Manager, also commented on the programme:
“When Carlo proposed this project to us at the meeting, I immediately thought it was a great idea! Giving space to body shops, making them feel like an integral part of the BallSystem Team, the network and therefore our Human Machine, will allow us to enrich the wealth of experience of business owners operating in one of the largest and most important sectors of the national economy.
The main goal is to make them feel that they play a central role in this project, and I am confident that body shops will be delighted to be first-hand protagonists of our Academy on the road.”
The first stop? We’ll be in beautiful Sicily, hosted by the Giordano Car body shop in Palermo, from 21 to 25 March, together with our BS trainer Flavio Iavarone, Operations and Academy Director Carlo Mottola, and BS Network Manager Andrea Giovanardi.
Follow us on our next stops.
See you soon!
