Should people agree with you?

A word of advice on people and relationships. Let me excuse myself on what I am saying next: You are a fool if you think people should agree with you in everything.

Cherish the differences within your team as they will allow you to deliver on your objectives (especially if you keep people focused).

But if find yourself having to deal with a person that is very different from you, either in business, ideals or ideas, just remember the "simple but profound idea that you don't have to agree on everything if the one thing you do agree on is important enough". This is also valid for discussions on digital and the social media space, by the way.

 It should go without mention, but let’s be clear. You shouldn’t be uploading sensitive information to an AI system. The risk is simply huge.

Insanity

There is one quote from Albert Einstein that I really love.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"

A challenge? Break the insanity - do things differently. And if you fail, fail better! Every single time.

"How to make a PDF in an iPhone"

Every single time I use the digitalization function in an iPhone, I feel amazed. It is so simple and intuitive. The iPhone is pure UI/UX.

Space - the next frontier for Retail

"How can a retail store jump its profits and turnover and still improve customer experience?" - this was almost going to be the title of this article for Grande Consumo, a Portuguese retail publication. But it was too obvious and clickbaitable and I really didn't like it...

Have a look at the article (also published in English in Medium) if you want to know how innovation can disrupt the way retail plan their stores spaces - and the incredible benefits of doing so.
