Human Catalysts

Posted on April 7th, 2008 by Luis Arias

Stefano Mazzocchi wrote a short note about catalysts that reminds me of what we are doing for our customers at Pilango as concerns their approach of the US market:

  • enable their market development to happen more easily
  • increase the likelihood of success

Stefano goes on to note his surprise that there are so few human catalysts in organizations. In some way that is reassuring since at Pilango we are offering our human catalyst capabilities as a service provider for a customer base of innovative European startups.

Harnessing The Abundance Economy

Posted on April 5th, 2008 by Luis Arias

I didn’t get a chance to attend the OSBC conference in San Francisco this year, but its on my schedule for next year ! Meanwhile I’m looking through the presentations which where published a couple of days ago.

I found Matt Asay’s keynote presentation particularly encouraging and relevant to the type of business we are looking to develop at Pilango.

Helping our old world customers realize the potential of the abundance economy by driving product awareness, implementing demand based feedback loops that drive excellence in product development and providing superior service to corporate America are the challenges that make us fired up, ready to go !

Pilango up and running !

Posted on April 4th, 2008 by Luis Arias

Pilango started operations on April 1, 2008 (and that’s no joke !) and after setting up an initial one page web site earlier this week, we are now setting up a dynamic one using Wordpress. We are also using Google Apps for our email, calendar, document sharing and intranet services and Remember The Milk for our task lists (which are growing by the minute). Our hosting is provided by SilverRack which provides affordable VPS hosting and great service.

We are currently using a slightly tweaked version of Anthony Baggett’s Networker 1.0 theme which we will continue to personalize as time goes on. Fred, our graphic designer friend is helping us to find a color scheme that walks our talk although I personally like revolutionary red and hope we will stick with it.

America here we come ! (More on our visit to Atlanta in April a bit later…)
