The red thread and the keys to collaborative teleworking

Many companies (and the people who make them up) currently feel like the Greek Sisyphus, condemned to try to climb a huge stone to the top of a mountain every day of his life. After each day, Sisyphus's punishment stone rolled back down, with Sisyphus having to repeat the same process over and over again in an absurd and frustrating way. That eternal and impossible climb to the top of the mountain is, as the days and weeks go by, the condemnation of companies and organizations without digital transformation. And now every day is a day of confusion...

TRAINING TRENDS 2019

Yes, this may be the typical mileage post where we bore you with long dissertations about what is going to hit hard in the sector for 2019.

The reality of renewables in 2019

The year 2019 will not be energetically different from what 2018 was: progressive increases in the price of gasoline and its derivatives, as well as the electricity bill. This is almost an economic constant, but, beyond the obvious, we must take into consideration that the solutions only involve a sum of social and productive factors. There are no absolute truths if we take the following news as a starting point: we do NOT have enough materials for all the solar panels we need... (Xataka December 14, 2018). That does not mean that photovoltaics is not the…

Payments 2.0 and paper accounting

Banks, what banks? We woke up on the 27th with unusual news: Google's request for a license as a banking entity in Europe, particularly in Lithuania. Let's be honest, if you are under 40 years old, you are surely allergic to going to your “old bank.” Of course there will be these types of entities in the future, but they may be your trusted search engine, your electricity company or any other established brand with a large user or credit card base. The way of understanding money is changing, without…

The disruptions that will change our lives

It's the batteries, idiot... Raise your hand if you haven't come across an electric transportation system in the last 24 hours. While skeptics talk about the drawbacks of these alternatives in urban mobility, different demographic profiles of the population are using battery propulsion as their way of moving on our streets. Skateboards, electric cars and hybrid bicycles are an active reaction to the progressive rise in the cost of combustion engines, not to mention the regulatory changes that are literally removing meters of asphalt from diesel and gasoline. Rivers of digital ink…

GENESIS OF RA-TRAINING AND NEUROFORMATION

At the end of the 90s, e-learning was already a reality in certain educational sectors. What began as primitive mailing lists progressed to the creation of standards such as Moodle, generating a revolution that changed the educational opportunities of millions of people around the world. Later, with the arrival of the Post-PC era, we went crazy eliminating the flash modules and making all the courses responsive so that students could see and train from the palm of their hand. After almost three decades of e-learning, the majority of people...

Ours are yellow...Reorganize your company: What is the color of your organization?

Let's give some foreign examples so as not to disturb those present or traditional Twitter sensibilities: Space X manages to launch the rocket with the greatest capacity since Apollo with an R&D investment of 800 million dollars. Meanwhile, NASA already has a date (end of 2023) for the launch of its rocket, but it has burned more than 12 billion taxpayer dollars. Apple, one of the companies with the highest stock market value and which has practically unlimited resources, has delayed six of the 10 products it was planning to offer in 2017 and its different software solutions accumulate bugs, …

The productivity course that excited Steven Spielberg: Film Productivity

I didn't see my colleagues die with their faces in the mud... Walter Sobchak – The Big Lebowski Why we need a Cinema Productivity: There are plenty of low-level charlatans and sellers of masterful solutions in the business productivity sector. They are recognizable because their courses come with names/acronyms in English that seem to be taken from NASA laboratories themselves. And yes, like the famous American space agency, they are a waste of money and time. With prices of up to four figures, they take out the rooms for desperate businessmen, managers and technicians who in…
