CV – Andrea, Montefusco, Dr. Ing. Ph.D
About me
My studies at Politecnico di Milano have introduced me to the world of models and system theory
and the heritage of that passionate period has been influencing my professional activities since
1988.
At my career beginning, I joined ST Microelectronic as Reliability Engineer. My specific job was
was to shorten electronic device life test, by improving acceleration models.
As I had gotten interesting results, my passion for applied research grew: two years later I left ST to
join a research group at Faculty of Medicine of Milan Univesity, to model and study the “nervous
system control loop” in charge of heart rate control.
Basic models we adopted were based on Linear Algebra, Hilbert Space and Kolmogorov-Wiener
theory.
In 1993 I got a tenure position of Researcher in Signal Analysis at Nuclear Medicine Group, at
National Oncology Institute of Milan. I renounced it and came back to Industrial companies joining
MEMC Electronic Materials, a large international producer of silicon wafer.
This job has been a "tipping point" for me. In MEMC I came across a complex set of issues in
controlling manufacturing processes. We can summarize that in silicon wafer production one
operator, to obtain quality, has to “control” two mutual interactive elements which influence the
quality of product parameters: the quality measures of the product and the (heuristic) relationship
he/she knows about the machine behavior. I spent the first period of my job at MEMC deepening
quality measures by means of mathematical models: with a scholar of Politecnico di Torino and a
researcher of Italian National Institute of Metrological Research we developed a new approach to
calibration by means a random walk model and many other intermediate practical results (you can
see it among papers).
Then, while on one hand I exploited the possibility to look at uncertainty in a very deep manner, on
the other I came across a bigger issue to fix: the "human factor", both at individual and at
organizational level as well.
Then I began deepening the organizational topics and the psychological aspects of work
performance and I saw the meaning of quality as a learning process that all company stakeholders
must actively build and sustain. The systemic vision of reality which I got during my technical
studies has begun a key to interpret individual and organizational behavior as well.
I’ve soon realized we need a deep change to integrate the positive analytical vision of work –
almost based on Taylor’s model - with the "human factor" concepts, which are based upon a
realistic vision of human being as a compound of cognitive individuals and communities, who don’t
act by simply executing working instructions, but by interpreting them instead.
To turn this approach into practice, I began developing learning tools based on simulation sessions
to make line operators to learn what we call "situational awareness": they mustn't act without
having in their mind possible huge impacts on final economic results, of their "simple technical
decisions".
Another important tipping point in my career has been reached during the developing project of the
"computer integrated manufacturing" system for MEMC, as I realized that an intensive use of
technological tools could support organizational efficiency, often called exploitation as well as
could strengthen the ability to change and innovate.
In 1998 I joined Accenture, former Andersen Consulting: during the four years I spent in the
consulting company I was involved in large organizational change projects, all characterized by
significant technological transformation with huge impacts both on individual activities as well as
on organizational ones.
In 2002 a professor of Bocconi asked Accenture for a person with a systemic knowledge about three
different streams: information system, organization theory and human factor: I began my new path.
Since the last year I’ve been collecting cooperation in a broad research network about capability
leadership and system dynamics with colleagues of MIT Sloan, Suffolk University, ETH Zurich,
NASA Research center and IESEG Paris; I’m Affiliate at CRIOS research center in Bocconi, I’m
Affiliate Professor at Scuola Superiore S.Anna of Pisa and at IESEG School of Management in
Paris and Lille. I’m Reserarch Associate at D-MTEC - Chair of Technology and Innovation
management ETH Zurich.
I also run an intense business school activity at SDA Bocconi School of Management where I’m
professor of leadership and managerial development, and other foreign business school.
Sometimes I’m engaged in consulting activity, but very specific in my field of interests and
knowledge and for short period.
I have developed innovative teaching methods, particularly a lab to learn how to manage group
interaction in complex environment, based on simulation and behavior assessment, called Flying an
Experience©: it has been adopting in many Universities both for teaching as well as for research,
since the 2011.
