Visiting Nairobi, Kenya with Smart Governance

This week we’re traveling to Nairobi, Kenya to share how Smart Governance can be impactful and drive change on your Organization by rendering decision making processes paperless, modernizing the decision makers’ and board members’ experience and enabling an agile corporate governance practice that involves all stakeholders in the hierarchies to drive healthier results.

If your entire Organization could be way much faster deciding and getting into action, wouldn’t you do it?

The fight for transparency

We often visit customers struggling to keep up with compliance, fighting their way to transparency.

Our words will be blunt and assertive on this topic.

Paper will never allow for true compliance and transparency – it’s impractical.
There are no shortcuts: no Smart Governance, no transparency.

Either you tackle it where it has to be tackled, or you’ll continue to waste time, money and resources… and worse, inhibiting potential.

Smart Governance for CityNext in Brussels

We’ll be in Brussels this week for the EU Health Innovation event and the Microsoft Government & Public Safety/ National Security Partner Executive Summit, contributing with our Smart Governance for CityNext 🙂

Will you be there? Looking forward to meet.

Enabling a Smart City through Smart Governance

More than ever, competitiveness is of utmost importance for Cities. It is the difference between attracting the right ingredients for an healthy population, thriving economy, or loosing these.

A City must be agile, fast to act, deliver swift reaction when required, sharp and engaging.
A City must be the pulsating living organism that attracts all good that life has to offer to its citizens, a beacon of prosperity and security.

A City must be the living symbol of the potential that each of its citizens can unleash.

Fact is, if you’re lagging on decision making, if you’re not delivering decisions when they’re needed – when you finally do, your actions towards execution will come when it’s too late… and while you keep adding each one of those laggard decisions with their faltering executions happening when relevance is degrading, nothing hurts more the economy of a place than the passage of inconsequent time. While others are going at it and getting to the best piece of the pie.

Ultimately the faster your decision making processes, the better your adaptability ratio is, and hence competitiveness.

So why Smart Governance?

You may throw as much money and resources at it as you wish… if you’re slow deciding, when you finally act the bandwagon has already passed.

Smart City Expo World Congress 2014, Barcelona, Spain

Next week we’ll be re-visiting Barcelona for the Smart City Expo – the key meeting point for experts and leaders of the world’s most innovative cities, companies, research centres, universities and international organisations. 🙂

We’ll be on the Microsoft booth, right in the middle of the exposition area. It’ll be a good opportunity to be with friends again and meet a lot of new people and learn and contribute from and to their experiences.

Our contribution to the event will be on Smart Governance, with Board Meeting Enterprise.

We look forward to connecting with you there 🙂

Visiting Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: 4th – 6th November 2014

We’ll be traveling to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from the 4th of November to the 6th of November 2014 to present Board Meeting Cloud (Windows 8.1 and Microsoft Azure) and Board Meeting Enterprise (Windows 8.1, Office, SharePoint Server, Lync, Outlook, SQL Server, Microsoft Azure, On Premises or Private Cloud) at Microsoft Device Day 🙂

Board Meeting Cloud is a self-service agenda management solution with a modern & touch user interface that stores you data geo-redundantly in the Cloud.

Board Meeting Enterprise is an enterprise grade solution that allows the implementation of Smart Governance on large & structured organizations, enabling agility in end-to-end hierarchical decision making workflows (from the hierarchies to the Board), cost cutting while reducing drastically the environmental impact and time consumption on non-value adding tasks. This can be implemented either On Premises, on a Public Cloud Provider or on a Private Cloud Provider.

If you’d like to meet us while we’re there, we still have some slots free for meetings and would very much appreciate that 🙂

Being impactful wherever we can

Besides being in Mexico this week for the Portuguese Deputy Prime Minister trade mission, another team will be visiting Angola for meetings on a project that is rolling out in the region… And it doesn’t stop there.

Amidst their day-to-day work, the rest of our team back home will be participating on a 10km community run to help funding Caritas Portugal, a not-for-profit with a noble cause.

We’re working very hard on changing the World, one Board Meeting at a time, while at the same time having the utmost positive impact on the communities that we’re part of 🙂
