PAULO MORGADO IN CINCO DÍAS: “A LEADER MUST BE AN AGITATOR, SOMEONE WHO SPURS ACTION.” “I like action,” acknowledges Paulo Morgado in this interview for financial paper Cinco Días. “Doing things, not pending things.

PAULO MORGADO IN EXPANSIÓN: “TODAY, STRATEGY IS DECIDED WHILE BEING EXECUTED.” How can executives plan their companies’ strategy today? “When it comes to management, most organizations continue acting in the exact same way as 20 years ago, making it difficult for them to make the digital switch. The new mind-set is more like channel-hopping, as there is no time to mature ideas so much,” remarks Paulo Morgado in this report from financial paper Expansión –a call to dismissing the classic idea whereby companies first decide and then execute, and replace it for “a new model in which both realities [...]

CINCO DÍAS: MILLENNIALS VS. SENIOR EMPLOYEES, TWO GENERATIONS BOUND TO UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER. In an encounter, organised by consultancy firm Capgemini for Cinco Días, millennials and senior employees share their differences as to how they see work, how they see their day-to-day, and what they each get out of sharing projects with people with such different mind-sets.

JAVIER RODRÍGUEZ ZAPATERO: “THE RISK OF NOT TRYING IS GREATER THAN THAT OF TRYING.” Digital revolution, education, innovation, corporate culture, technology adoption… Words, concepts, already commonly used in our day to day, and prone to becoming more and more prominent in the impending future. In the last few years we have witnessed how technology has been transforming the business model of many organisations. In fact, for Javier Rodríguez Zapatero, “jobs in ten years’ time will not have much to do with those of 10 years ago.” In this interesting conversation, conducted by Paulo Morgado, both executives talked and shared their [...]

In a casual talk with Paulo Morgado, Chief Executive Officer at Capgemini Spain, [...]
