Welcome to The Forge 🔥 of Unicorns — the podcast where digital evolution meets elite performance. 🚀

I’m Michele Brissoni (Mike) — Tech Advisor, Fractional CTO, and Board-Level Strategist.

Over the past two decades, I’ve invented models and frameworks that have reshaped how organizations evolve in the software era:

BOKaRy 📈 — our latest innovation, a Behavioral-OKR governance framework bridging vision, behavior, and delivery to generate exceptional ROI for boards, CEOs, and investors.
SW Craftsmanship Dojo® 🥋 — born in the elite world of engineering excellence at Ferrari Formula 1 during the glorious Michael Schumacher era, evolved into a behavior-engineered continuous active learning system for elite software craftsmanship.
Unicorns’ Ecosystem 🦄 — a predictable, holistic model born to fight the de-facto standard of mediocracy in IT, which kills more organizations than anything else. By fusing behavioral science, neuroscience, and organizational psychology, it combats the hidden killers while igniting elite IT performance.

Born from decades of research and experimentation, these models guarantee zero disruption and measurable outcomes. They have already guided thousands of developers, C-level leaders, and Fortune 500 organizations in industries ranging from finance and healthcare to transport and telecom.

Each episode of The Forge of Unicorns delivers:

🎙️ Bold conversations with CEOs, investors, and technical leaders.
🧭 Actionable strategies to escape failed transformations and achieve real evolution.
🤖 AI mastery without the hype — practical frameworks to harness AI for measurable outcomes, not inflated promises.
🧠 Behavioral insights rooted in 20+ years of research and practice.
💡 Survival toolkits for boards, managers, developers, and agilists facing burnout, disengagement, and stalled revenues.

In today’s volatile digital landscape, transformation alone is not enough. To survive, thrive, and secure the future, organizations need systems engineered for resilience, clarity, and exponential performance. That’s what this podcast is about.

🎙️ EP75 - Are Your Developers Ready for AI? The David vs Goliath Story

Spitch.AI beats tech giants through customer-centric collaborative AI and cultural readiness. Pier Giorgio Vittori (CEO US division) reveals gradual adoption framework, employee satisfaction foundation, and ethical business practices that turn David into Goliath-killer in AI era.

🎙️ Episode Highlights:

Spitch.AI was founded in 2014, expanding from Switzerland to US, UK, and Italy. Instead of out-of-box solutions, they compete through deep customization matching customer needs and local regulations.

Core principles driving their success:

- Employee satisfaction = customer satisfaction (foundational law)

- Technology serves customer needs, not adoption for hype

- Collaborative AI: human expertise supervises AI execution

- Gradual implementation matching organizational maturity

- Ethics builds long-term relationships vs. short-term sales

💡 Key Insights:

- Don't be afraid of technology, embrace it wisely."

- Without cultural readiness and technical fundamentals, AI amplifies dysfunction at 10x speed.

- Teams can't challenge AI hallucinations if they were trained not to challenge authority.

- The gap isn't technical—it's behavioral.
