Today, I had the opportunity to participate in a roundtable discussion at AIVØLUT1ØN, sharing insights on how AI is challenging our strategies to create more innovative organisations, inspired by the momentum we are creating at Altice Labs. Thanks to Ricardo Tomé and João Camarate for the thought-provoking conversation and to Knower™ for the kind invitation to participate. I argued that AI should be seen not only as a tool to Augment human intelligence, but also to Bypass and Compensate for practices or strategies that require a new vision (the ABC of AI). If we only see the Augmentative potential of AI, we will never be able to understand its transformative power. People and organisations need to Bypass and Compensate to transform their strategies. To be innovative and sustainable (using AI or any other tool), we need to change. We also need to involve everyone, using transversal and centripetal approaches: more than champions, organisations need brokers to facilitate early and informed adoption of new technologies and tools, and to leverage new beginnings.

Thanks Joao Santos for sharing . As we understands - the academic process is one of hundred’s learning system . In the academic system — we produce & reproduce the explicit knowledge only, which is very less or smaller - then that of the whole knowledge . So People learn in various ways— in the whole life, some times it is more then that of formal education . For which informal learning recognition is very important - for more productivity & progress - to build a sustainable world to serve the future humanity . We know the nature is the main source of our Knowledge , So we have to acquire & earn knowledge from nature. In the era of 4.0iR & 21ist century’s I recomand the world community , specially the UN body should come froward to recognise the informal learning for progressive & pro prosperous world .

📣  Once upon a time, in the bustling city of Porto, a group of Product Managers gathered under the banner of the The Impostor PM. As the sun set over the iconic Douro River, a new chapter was about to unfold in their journey. Stories, often overlooked, are keys to success, shaping decisions and unlocking opportunities. Picture this: a room filled with PM with tales to share, from idea inception to launch triumphs. The art of storytelling lay the power to inspire, to persuade, and to connect on a deeper level. Whether it be presenting a new product to stakeholders or navigating the intricate web of team dynamics, a well-told story has the ability to captivate hearts and minds alike. Join us as we embark on this storytelling journey together. Reserve your spot now for our next meetup, where we'll dive deep into the art of Crafting Narratives: The Power of Storytelling in Product Management ✨ 📅 When: May 8th 6:30pm 📍Where: Infraspeak, Porto #impostorpm #productmanagement #storytelling

Last Friday, NTT DATA Europe & Latam and Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR) - Vall d'Hebron Institut de Recerca were warmly welcomed by 2CA-Braga (Clinical Academic Center - Braga) for an exciting meeting focused on strengthening collaboration and identifying future opportunities. The 2CA-Braga team presented their organization, outputs and key research areas, clearly showing why they are a reference clinical research center in Portugal. We were also privileged to hear from Prof. Nuno Sousa, the Presidente of AICIB - Agência de Investigação Clínica e Inovação Biomédica, who outlined Portugal’s strategy for clinical research. As other regions around the world are becoming more competitive in clinical trials due to greater recruitment capacity, it's crucial that European research centers invest in highly efficient support structures to empower clinical researchers. By enhancing back-office capabilities with professionalized and technology-driven systems, we can allow health professionals to focus solely on their research, allowing Europe stays at the forefront of innovation. Our colleagues from VHIR shared a compelling presentation on their history, expertise, and the challenges they face, aligning closely with the vision presented by 2CA-Braga and NTT DATA. We were proud to showcase NTT DATA's initiatives with 2CA-Braga to strengthen clinical research centers in Portugal, and it was exciting to see how all three organizations share a common vision. This alignment paves the way for potential joint initiatives in the near future. Looking forward to what we can achieve together!
