The world is quickly moving toward ubiquitous connectivity, which will have a greater impact on how and where people associate with each other, meet and share information and consume communication media. A poll of 2,558 experts from around the world regarding where we will be in 2025 shows interesting patterns in their predictions. The people interviewed where identified in a preliminary investigation about the future of the Internet, from those identified by the Pew Research Center's Internet Project at the beginning of 2014.

On April 11 we held our annual Indra Business Consulting convention, with this year's theme being "the thrill of success". The truth is, there is nothing more thrilling for a consultant, or indeed any human being, than success! Maslow described it brilliantly in his theory of self-actualization. Maslow devised a visual aid to explain his theory, which he called the "hierarchy of needs", consisting of a pyramid of human physiological and psychological needs.

Last Thursday, March 27, INDRA held a forum titled “NEW PARADIGMS, NEW SOLUTIONS: How new technologies can help evolve the mass market sector".

This week, I had the opportunity to give a coaching class, on advanced client management, to the client director of a very good customer. There's no better way to remember concepts and old information than teaching someone else, especially for understanding the importance and complexity of some CRM techniques.

This week Barcelona played host to the Mobile World Congress (MWC), without a doubt one of the most important new technology showcases that currently exists. The proof lies in the figures: 75,800 delegates, 20,000 support staff, 1,800 exhibitors from around the globe. And most important of all—the presence of the world's technology leaders in the city of Barcelona. The center stage at this year's event was undoubtedly taken by Facebook's Zuckerberg and Jan Koum of WhatsApp fame.

This week I had the honor of sharing the stage with Pedro Nueno during the Estrella Galicia's annual convention, where the main subject centered on internationalization and growth.
Pedro Nueno is one of those "silent" but brilliant people in our country whose humility and simplicity make them loom even larger. http://web.iese.edu/curriculums/nueno.html

This week I was finally able to test Google Glass. Not only that, I even gave a conference wearing the glasses (thanks to the company www.itglas.es). I'll sum up my experience in one word: MIND-BLOWING.
In my opinion it's the most powerful technological revolution since the cellphone, far superior to all the devices designed by my beloved Steve Jobs. You'll probably think I'm exaggerating, but Google Glass will enable us to do things with technology in situations hitherto unimaginable.

2014 certainly began with plenty of optimism regarding the Spanish economy, and even I started believing the talk of economic recovery. The week began with President Rajoy appearing on Antena 3, with the IMF (International Monetary Fund) later tripling Spain’s growth forecast for 2014 from 0.2% to 0.6-0.8%, and the week closed with an excellent Gesconsult report. And there was plenty of positivity on Spain elsewhere, as evidenced by recent headlines such as these:
"Spain is back” JP Morgan (1/11/2014)

In the last 72hs I have traveled to the 80's twice, first because I have finally seen Mecano's musical “Hoy no me puedo levantar” (today I can’t wake up) in the Coliseum theater. One of the best musicals ever seen in Madrid, with more than 2.5 million spectators and with 27 set changes with LED technology, really recommendable. Second, because I attended the celebration of the 35 anniversary of the Círculo de Empresarios (a Spanish business association), where the history of the institution was reviewed.

It seemed it would never arrive, but it's here. I think I had never looked forward so much to the end of the year and the start of a new one. Apart from the fact that I'm not very keen on the number 13, everything suggests that the long-awaited economic recovery will take place in 2014, after too many years of crisis.

At the beginning of the year we have the curious feeling of starting from “0″, of resetting and starting all over again. This year I have decided to write a letter to Santa Claus, which I hope he will receive and read and, at least, grant me some wishes.
The letter reads as follows:

The time has come to take stock of the year 2013; of the many subjects that come to mind, there is one that has attracted my attention. Have you ever wondered why there has been such a rise in movies, series, games, comics, literature, apps and hundreds of gadgets dealing with zombies? Although not a new phenomenon, its rise in popularity is disturbing.

El pasado Jueves tuve la oportunidad de asistir a la entrega de premios de los 40 principales en el palacio de deportes de Madrid, organizado por Prisa. Aparte de lo espectacular de la gala, me impactó mucho el efecto “fan” que generan algunos grupos de música o personajes.

Esta semana nos ha dejado Nelson Mandela, todo un icono de superación y resistencia. Tras pasar más de 27 como preso político, mientras medio mundo miraba hacia otro lado, hoy es idolatrado y venerado por los que en aquel entonces le dieron la espalda. Me gustará ver como acaba la gestión de derechos de imagen entre la familia Mandela y el gobierno de Sudáfrica.
