Meet Francisco Spadafora, Senior Director of Digital Products & Asset-Based Business at NTT DATA Italia. He’s not just imagining the future—he’s building it. Brick by digital brick.

Welcome to The Node, the podcast from IDA, powered by Decision Science Alliance and hosted by Luca Lisci.

In this explosive debut episode, we explore what it really takes to innovate today:

• AI, blockchain, AR — these aren’t trends, they’re tools reshaping entire industries.
• The new innovation model? End-to-end, cross-functional and product-driven. We don’t just strategize—we implement, scale, and deliver.
• The real value for our clients: fast, accessible, and results-oriented solutions—ready to activate today, not tomorrow.
• Forget KPIs. Measuring innovation means tracking real-world impact.
• Great leadership isn’t inherited—it’s learned, tested, and sharpened through adaptability.

At NTT DATA, we don’t just talk transformation—we enable it, with products and platforms that reduce time-to-value and drive business outcomes.

If you’re tired of reacting and ready to take control, this episode is your playbook.

Hit play. Challenge your mindset. Build the future.
