Workshop Organizational Constelations w/ Cecilio Regojo

Yesterday, i had the pleasure to meet Cecilio Regojo for a workshop about Organizational Constelations at Porto – Portugal.

In a joint project between Mindcoach and Talent Manager, Cecílio Regojo showed a small part of this amazing tool.

With more than 35 years of business experience, Cecilio has held several positions of responsibility in companies of multiple sectors and areas of activity. His experience as a businessman, together with his experience as a business consultant dealing with a number of companies in many countries, has provided him with a broad understanding of organizations and companies.

Cecilio organizes workshops and trainings in several parts of the world. He has participated in a number of International Congresses as an invited lecturer. He also carries out management consultancy in the field of Systemic Consulting, working in companies and organizations.

This experience was quite inspirational!!!

NFL-style draft of experienced corporate leaders and MBAs

Have you ever seen anything like this before? 

corporate-draftThe Corporate Draft is an event for Fortune 500 companies,  to draft (recruit) the very best leaders and managers in America. We must bring this concept to Europe!  The Corporate Draft is an economic stimulus opportunity, using recruitment as its platform, with attending companies marketing their corporate strategies and economic responses to consumer, investor and labor markets.

Each corporate participante pays 30,000 USD for all Corporate Draft services include, very cost effective for the recruitment of any executive. 

Check the Corporate Draft Gameday Program. 

Another idea that brings the Sports expressions to the business world. Got to be an amazing experience!

Truth or delusion?

This week, i finished reading the amazing book of Ivan Misner, Mike Macedonio and Mike Garrison. As a recent regional assistant for BNI in Portugal, i wanted to read a few books from Dr. Misner.

Websitetruth-or-delusion

Ivan Misner puts in a very simple writing the fantastic way to do business .  The ordinary stories of normal people and the way business networking have changed their professional lives with just a few concepts is simply captivating. The book covers 49 questions or misconcepts that are truth or delusion.
You will start to wonder… is that simple?

Social Networking Ideas for World Governments

Teased by Andy Lopata’s post about social networking ideas for Governments and other public organizations, i would try to expand my thoughts about the topic.
Nowadays, we have seen the coming importance of this new Web: Web 2.0. According to the site, Government Tecnhology”Web 2.0 is based on two primary principles: First, participation by a large number of people in an online endeavor can create many of the benefits derived from being a member of a traditional, nonvirtual, “conference room” community. Second, a Web 2.0 community can create valuable content that helps identify other like-minded folks who should be part of that community. The new folks, in turn, add richness to the content that originally attracted them to the community”.

The US government funded research into social networking sites and how to gather and store personal data published on them, according to the New Scientist magazine.

My country (Portugal – south Europe) has embraced this social networking phenomena. HI5 is the leading social networking site, and has received an increasing importance by companies (Fanta the first company to join HI5 in Portugal) and other entities. A few counties, cities, local communities and civic movements have joined the network.
During the following years, we will see a lot more joining in. The Barack Obama and Hlillary Clinton‘s appearance in Facebook have put the world’s attention on this social networks. The US discussion is more advanced on these matters and have taken in consideration all the points of view.
On the other hand, Fred Stuzman post in the Nov 2007, really touched the concerns around this issues. His thoughts about social networking sites outlines the several negative perspectives of a more institucionalized approach to this networks from other private and public entities.
