Diversity, equity and inclusion, DEI, has become a crucial and transformative reality in the workplace and in our society. Many employers are embracing DEI and have made changes to their recruitment and hiring processes. DEI helps these processes seek out a diverse pool of candidates for job opportunities inside and outside the company to establish…
What every crisis reminds us is that those who have not been brave, agile, creative, innovative and fast fall by the wayside. Amazon has been one of the big winners in this crisis. Its share price in March was around 1,600 dollars and as I write this it is already over the 3,500 dollar mark.…
While COVID-19 continues to occupy the preoccupations and concerns of companies and governments, the issue of sustainability neither waits nor delays, it continues to move forward. The truth is that sustainability is now higher on the corporate agenda. Interestingly, whoever took away its place in the ranking of priorities has made its relevance space instead…
I had the good fortune to study International Relations at an exciting time in our history. It was just after the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall, in a decade when a new world order was dawning. Our professors reminded us of the past from which we came and…
For now, and only for now, the use of masks is “recommended”, not mandatory. But it is a matter of days, perhaps weeks, when it will become mandatory.

I remember, as if it were yesterday, a night in 1983 when I went to the cinema to see the film “The Day After”. I came out of the cinema so moved, that many years later I still remember what I felt at the time. The film showed us a world in which nuclear war…
The retail apocalypse is neither here nor here to stay. For every shop that closed in 2019 in the United States, five opened. We could go on and on about the non-apocalypse or focus on retail’s biggest transformation in the last 80 years, and work hard to make the new chapter of shopping centres extraordinary.…
There is no more valuable currency than time. Time cannot be accumulated, saved, deferred, time is today, now. Neither the euro, nor the dollar, nor gold can be equated, time is the measure of our life and what we do or fail to do with it impoverishes or enriches us. Man’s struggle to master time…
In the digital age, most CEOs are procastinators. From the Latin pro (forward) and crastinus (future). Although today, in Spanish, procrastinating is nothing more than procrastinating. It is the inaction that has become a habit, the action of delaying situations, activities or decisions that need to be faced for others that are less relevant and…
