In the latest issue of the “Best Jobs in America” ranking, Data Scientists lead the list of the most promising, best-paying and most sought after professions on the market.

The professional of the future is a scientist, creative and emotionally intelligent

The application of scientific methods and creative and disruptive processes are concepts that do not integrate traditionally simultaneously in organizations. Scientists are mainly asked for systematic, logical and rational activities. From the Creatives, intuition and the permanent deconstruction of rational concepts are expected. At the same time, Emotional Intelligence constitutes one of the aspects of soft skills, currently more debated and sought after in the corporate fabric, at a global level. And it is in this spectrum of three universes that, usually, do not interact with each other, that a wide competitive advantage resides for the organizations. An interdependent interaction between reason, emotion, deconstruction, intuition and intelligence is absolutely critical to the success of relationships at both professional and business level. In this context, WINNING has launched a professional training package aimed at meeting this need of the Portuguese business community: the development of at least one creative and emotionally intelligent scientist in each national organization.

Vieira de Almeida & Associados (VdA) is one of the largest Law Firms operating in Portugal, and is a reference of the National Law Firm for its prestige, quality of work, perceived value and for its rigor and commitment to the Client.

Based on this important commitment to customer service, which requires continuous investment in continuous process improvement and innovation, VdA has worked with WINNING Scientific Management to improve its management model.

In this context, VdA invested in a continuous improvement program to strengthen the skills of its employees at different levels and asked Winning to identify the most appropriate solution to achieve this goal.
Thus, and taking into account the specifics of VdA’s business model and its orientation towards customer service, Winning has detected the need to improve the Processes in Project Management. In addition, it was necessary to adapt these processes to the needs and specificities of VdA’s activity and also to identify an internal tool appropriate to the project portfolio management.
