<div class="" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Hope this email finds you well. As you probably know, BBS is launching a new project, called <b class="">BBS React Innovation Program</b>, aimed at helping companies of our Region to return
back on track after Covid-19 outbreak. More specifically, the school is working on the creation of SQUAD, i.e. teams composed of students and alumni of full-time and executive masters, that will offer free consulting services to selected companies in the next
three months.</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">It will be a great collective effort of the entire BBS community that will need to be narrated, shared, and documented online to create a collective memory and that, during the next months,
will constitute a library of cases and best practices to be shared with people interested. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">The idea is to create a BBS React Knowledge Center (a similar initiative has been done by Harvard Business School with the Covid-19 <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/covid-19-business-impact" class="">Impact
Center</a>). Considering the excellent work we have done with the #quarantinememories, the school would like to assign to the Global MBA students, the goal of creating and animating this Knowledge Center.</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">Therefore, we would like to launch a call for volunteers to select 5 students who can help us in creating and managing this Knowledge Center. The goal is to create an editorial team who
will have the task of contacting the Squad, soliciting them to document their work, revising and publishing these cases, and also interviewing actors involved in the process.</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">For those who participate this could also become the final project work of the MBA. The expected workload will be light from now until the end of classes but will intensify in the forthcoming
months and until September. There might be possible follow-up in September depending on the evolution of the situation. </div>
<div class="" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br>
