Is an Innovator…

Knows very well that a new product, or a new way of working or new resources, rarely corresponds to a new technology, previously inexistent.

To innovate explores the way the work is done, the circumstances and how resources are used. And pays careful attention to use proven technologies assembling them to produce novel architectures,

resulting in products that offers to the customers a set of valued attributes that were not available to them beforehand.

…and a COACH too!

The consultant can see in the own self and in every individual a “corporative athlete”1, that shall be assisted to develop all its capabilities.

Understands that every person will reach the best performance as soon as an adequate balance of "stress" and recovery is established.

Has learned very well that the key for talent development resides in motivation, and because of this sets and helps others set life challenges that are difficult and transcending.
