The number one imperative for many companies today is cost-cutting solutions, and it is often imperative to see results in the same fiscal year. As a result there is enormous interest in innovation that can produce both short- and long-term results.

There is no better place to look for innovative thinkers and companies than Brazil. The Brazilian economy experienced years of hyperinflation and a variety of economic plans meant to address it (a total of 7 in 8 years), meaning the rules changed on a daily basis in an already difficult game. Inflation has been tamed and the economy has been stabilized since the introduction of the Real plan in 1994, but our experience is now your advantage.

Being able to react in fast and effective fashion is imperative for survival in times like these. "In a crisis situation, there are so many urgent matters, that there is little difference between short and long term goals. The future is now right this next minute. Historical experience show us that immediate actions should be the basis for a long-term strategy"- Michael Porter, March 2009.
