My very good friend Eric:
I couldn´t have put my thoughts better. I have taken on a lot of global portions of projects, and you are sent a spreadsheet with a lot of fields to fill in that responds to another culture´s approach, and you keep saying "…
Tadeusz: I agree with your points. To learn english (mostly speaking and listening) I used a lot of reading and watching movies with the very blessed CLOSE CAPTION feature. An then, after living and studying in the US, I have realized that my englis…
Hi Miguel:
From my experience, having lived in different countries and speaking several languages help, and help a lot. In the process of living and speaking face to face you get a great share of culture. Does it enhance your creativity? I would pu…

I have just watched this video, which is also showing us that experiencing different cultures how can open the mind, enchance the creativity, so the way of thinking without borders.
Agree entirely! Something that came up often when I worked in financial services. Particularly when the compensation cultures are very different -- e.g. a commercial bank buying a securities brokerage or investment organization....
Mergers & Acquisitions is an area where one needs to understand the impact of cross cultural influences.

Pepi Hurtado-López said… - Muito obrigada Miguel!
Te pido mil disculpas, hace mucho tiempo que no contacto contigo. Estoy embarcada en la preparación de proyectos a largo plazo y en la crianza, así que no tengo mucho tiempo. Te mando un email privado en cuanto tenga un ratito sobre proyectos de trabajo.
Espero que tú y tu familia estéis bien. Un abrazo,
Pepi

- Olá Ellen,
Hope all went well with your last day with your Mom, as well as your husband show.
I still do not know about WDC (SCIP) and only closer to the dates I will have a 'clear' picture of my availability.
Hope you can make next Friday. This past meeting was very good.
Keep in touch.
Cheers,
Miguel

Ellen Naylor said… - Bom Dia Miguel,
I am unsure if I'll make this Friday now since it's my last day with my Mom and it's always crazed! My husband's art show is that evening in Georgetown. BTW will you be at SCIP in DC? I will be at the Aurora Bash on Thursday night. Cheers! Ellen

- Hi August,
At all. You deserve all the kind words for your brilliant work.
I do have some topics that I would like to suugest.
Among them let me share a couple:
#1 Challenges to implement CI functions in SME's
#2 Sales Intelligence - how to leverage it and how to support your sales team
#3 - CI - Is it the same all over the world? How different? How similar?
Hope they are of interest to you.
All the best,
Miguel

Walter,
I can answer this one. Ok, first "big data" players usually means HP, Oracle, SAP, IBM. These firms are extraordinarily good at handling structured data (ie numbers) in relational databases, but they don't deal well with unstructured data,…
Oh, they are doing CI, lots of it, but they call it other things, like Data mining e.g. They solve many of the same problems but from an engineering perspective
Klaus
I've been turning this one over and can't find a satisfactory explanation.
Why don't we see more 'big data' players doing CI consulting. It seems to me that companies like Google, with absurdly comprehensive environmental data, doing more to move…
Hey Eric,
Very nice, I really like your critical dissection of the author's convoluted and ultimately flawed, thought process which you laid out very articulately. Precisely right, what exactly is the difference here? The issue of direct vs indirec…

Bill, I'm having trouble imagining you being pilloried for posting jobs during a global recession. I hope we have lots of trouble of this sort coming!
So, to take this author's point:
Gathering, analyzing and disseminating information sponsored by a major media source financed directly by a combination of pharma, oil, and automotive companies: ethically honorable.
Gathering, analyzing and dissem…
