    O Brasil está mudando de forma silenciosa. A globalização e massificação da tecnologia abrem oportunidades para novos negócios e para a transformação de empresários em empreendedores. Startups e coporações que percebram esse movimento moldam a nova economia, mas a grande maioria das empresas tradicionais permance estática, viveno do ado. O Brasil antigo permitia a pepetuação de serviços ruins e resultados artificiais. Agora, a dinâmica é outra.

    Parece óbvio dizer que o mundo mudou desde que entramos na era da informação e das telecomunicações. Um deslizar de dedos na tela do smartphone tem o poder de alterar todo o campo de batalha. Estamos sempre a uma inovação de distância de que tudo aquilo que sabemos e conhecemos se torne obsoleto. Os dados viraram a moeda mais valiosa das empresas. É a era da Nova Economia.

    Nesse cenário turbulento e dinâmico, manter-se preso a antigos paradigmas e práticas pode significar ser engolido por negócios alinhados com princípios da inovação constante. Dominar as novas regras são atitudes que definem quem permanece no mercado.
