SAP is very well positioned in this rank considering that many of the top Brands listed operate largely in the consumer B2C space and therefore media investments are not comparable with B2B only brands. It’s natural that they will have much higher recalls.

The cases Jose references, - “couchgate,” the nationality of the murderer in the UK, and the debate over Imane Khelif’s gender—are important reminders of how misinformation can quickly spread and cause real-world consequences. These instances underscore the need for a more responsible approach from media outlets. His observation about the “online editors” rushing to publish for clicks rather than waiting for verification is spot on. This practice not only undermines the credibility of the media but also fuels the perception that the media are more interested in sensationalism than in responsible journalism. The damage done by initial false reports often cannot be undone by subsequent corrections, as the initial misinformation tends to stick in the public consciousness. The role of the media should be to inform accurately and responsibly, not to contribute to the spread of misinformation. Your call for a more responsible and ethical approach is crucial for the future of journalism and the well-being of society. #responsiblejournalism #editorialintegrity #fourthestate #misinformation #fakenews

So here is the question... what is different about Portuguese providers compared to the US? Is it because they don't price people out? Is it because the CX is good including bundling? Or is it that they have not yet caught up with the move to single OTT providers being seen as providing full Television Platform Providers? Particularly when loosely aggregated with others? This is the question for every operator today.

An amazing case study and masterclass on how digital nomadism can be a force for good if it's managed properly. Imagine doing this in #Guernsey. Stretch your imagination even further and pretend we'd have somewhere for them to live 😅 A block of purpose-built apartments owned and rented out by SoG, housing location-independent digital professionals, give them a 6-month short stay visa and a minimum income requirement. Bring some life back to this island. Make it attractive to people in their 20s and 30s again. Just read the below post to see the impact it's had on Madeira in the last three years 👇 #digitalnomad #remotework ---- 💡 Hey, I'm James!

In 2016, when I was starting my entrepreneurial journey launching the 1st Search Fund in Portugal, most of the people I spoke with about the project said: "this is not going to work in Portugal". 8 years after, it looks obvious that search funds do work in Portugal. With my search fund, through a buy and build strategy, I launched Project To Be, an educational company, that acquired, integrated and improved 6 early education schools in <5 years, creating immense impact in the educational communities. Searchers that came after me in Portugal had an astonishing success, acquiring SMEs in distribution, software and development and sale of construction materials. There is still huge unexplored potential for Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) in Portugal, as a more entrepreneurial solution for succession problems in SMEs. It was great to be back where it all started for me 8 years ago, at IESE Business School Search Fund Conference. Great to see that the community has hugely expanded but there is still a clear vision of the importance of keeping the original values of collaboration, sharing and mentorship alive.  #IESE #SearchFunds #ETA #EntrepreneurshipThroughAcquisition #Entrepreneurship #BuyandBuild

New startup launch: Bora - (short for let’s go in Portuguese) one plataform for all our local events. Tired of installing multiple apps for each city or trying to find events at multiple plataforms? What about one that partners with them all and is free for the personal use? You can choose between creating event to invite the whole town for hiking or just your street for a poker night by drawing the desired location to share your events. Also don’t limit yourself from types of events: you can also ask for any kind of help where local professional can reach you by the the tags you add to your event. Can you imagine the possibilities in terms physical, social and psychological benefits? “Bora” find it out?

Entrevista da pesquisadora Marietje Schaake para o #ProjectSyndicate. Destaco uma questão que pode parecer secundária, mas teria um efeito estratégico se fosse levada a sério no nosso Parlamento: PS: You write that to “steer technological innovation” in a way that reflects and reinforces democratic principles, governments must “deepen their understanding of how these technologies function, as well as the interplay between them.” What steps are needed to ensure that decision-makers not only have access to the necessary expertise, but also “educate themselves on what exactly is happening at the cutting edge”? MS: Since technology touches almost all aspects of our lives – from health care and agriculture to national security and even our fundamental rights as citizens – all decision-makers will have to deal with it in one way or another. But it is lobbyists, not independent experts, who typically frame the debate about technology and, thus, technology policy. One solution would be to give lawmakers, such as members of the US Congress, access to a set of independent technology experts who can offer necessary explanations and insights. This is hardly a radical idea: lawmakers can already request feedback on legislative proposals from an independent and impartial legal service. Meanwhile, giving academics more access to data and computational power would help to advance research that would support a more fact-based political debate about the role of technology in our societies. https://lnkd.in/eBy_ATJU #techcoup #regulation #lawmaking #lobbying
