👥🌍 A Success Story from Manpower Portugal: Optimizing Costs and Enhancing Efficiency Yesterday, I had the privilege of speaking with João Porto, Partner at ERA Group Portugal. He shared a remarkable customer case that truly highlights the power of collaboration and strategic cost optimization. In the video below, Rui Teixeira, the Country Manager at ManpowerGroup Portugal discusses how ManpowerGroup partnered with ERA Group to tackle the challenge of optimizing costs across various categories, including telecommunications, energy, facilities, insurance, and technology. The results? A remarkable 20% savings overall, achieved through targeted analysis and negotiation. I highly recommend watching the video to hear directly from Rui about the challenges, the strategies, and the successful outcomes of this collaboration. 🚀 #CostOptimization #Partnership #SuccessStory #ManpowerGroup #ERAGroup #BusinessEfficiency #StrategicCollaboration #Portugal #OutsourcingExcellence #CustomerSuccess #Collaboration #Innovation #ManpowerPortugal #EraGroup #GlobalConnections #WorkplaceSolutions

Here's ECO's article on the fresh Landing.Jobs Global Tech Talent Trends 2024 Report - Portugal edition. Ana Marcela did a great job analysing and summarising its insights on this article piece (strongly suggest reading it). The IT Work market is in a low condition, showing a lack of confidence on both Talent and Company sides. It seems no one wants to give a step out of the last crisis cycle and resume investment in creating new products (or evolving existing) to foster competitive advantages. IT Professionals have lost some of it's bargaining power to companies, and most companies are still mostly in hiring freeze mode (even if they say otherwise.) It's a strange situation, but I'm hopeful this situation is also a correction of some wrongdoings and a preparation for a major jump in this market. My bet be would be that 2024H1 will still be pretty most a 'still' year, but on 2024H2 stuff is going to start heating up, and the market machine will prepare for a new strong growth cycle. This is just my hypothesis, but would love to know your perspectives on this. I leave you some highlights to sharpen your appetite for the report (which you can download here https://lnkd.in/d9Zmb55q) ➡️ IT Salaries didn't grow from 2023 to 2024, signalling a clear market slowdown (average gross annual salary is at 46.5K€) ➡️ The percentage of IT Professionals in Portugal working remotely to a company abroad reduced from 22.6% to 16% ➡️ Hybrid work lost ground to both full-office work and full-remote work ➡️ The Gender Salary grap grew to 36% (males earning more than females), a terrible blow to diversity efforts ➡️ The percentage of IT Professionals in Portugal relocated from other countries grew to 15.7% If you thinks this is relevant content for your communities, please share. And would deeply appreciate your comments and perspectives, as this is a topic of deep importance for both tech talent and companies.

"How to develop a 15 Trillion opportunity in the Private Markets", this was an inFocus at CNN Portugal topic discussed by our Chairman and CEO, Lawrence Calcano, André Themudo (Head of Wealth Iberia - BlackRock Iberia), Leslie Rubio (Country Officer, Portugal - Citi) and Jose Maria Soares Franco, CFA (Managing Director - Itau Private Bank) moderated by the great journalist Pedro Santos Guerreiro.   "Allocation to alternatives is small across the world when compared to the potential market size and if we have in consideration that just 20% of the advisors drive 80% of the flows" we can see how much we can do in terms of Education for this asset class. But we can start by all of us, listening to this conversation :) 🗣 Podcast link: https://lnkd.in/er3dqguX   📹 Video link: https://lnkd.in/eNRdN2ju

How can we responsibly align AI with human values? 🤝💡 At the "Artificial Intelligence and Humanizing Technology" conference, organized by AEMinho - Associação Empresarial do Minho, Liliana Antão, our Data Scientist, shared her vision of crafting AI systems that resonate with human values. She explored integrating the human factor in AI development, emphasizing ethics and fairness. Liliana also talked about her belief in the potential of AI as a force for good, and the pivotal role of the AI Act in ensuring responsibility. She stated, “The AI Act should hold accountable not only the companies that develop these systems but also those that apply them. They need to be critical and test edge cases to ensure these systems do not negatively impact their users and even business” Curious to learn more about humanized technology and the future of AI in Europe? Reach out to Liliana Antão! 💡 #DEUS #AI #humanizingtechnology #ethics #futureofAI

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.

📣  Once upon a time, in the bustling city of Porto, a group of Product Managers gathered under the banner of the The Impostor PM.

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.
