Collaboration
It seems like everyone has left the communal kitchen table and gone into various nooks and crannies to hide.
But, what is happening is collaboration across the Brida community.

Seoul meets São Paulo
Have you ever wondered how two bustling cities, like São Paulo and Seoul, compare in terms of culture, architecture, and lifestyle?
Rosi in São Paulo has been looking at pictures of Seoul, and Nathalie has begun providing informative explanations. Rosi has been doing the same verbally. Eventually, we will move forward to get a great comparison of these two gigantic cities.

Manfred's culinary adventure
What culinary adventures await us as we explore the rich tapestry of French cuisine with our fellow community members? Well, that happened in the collaboration between Manfred, Walter, Céline and Alexandre.
|
|
|
|
Manfred was offered a terrific choice of French culinary delights. But he is a picky eater and quickly learned to say what didn't appeal to him. Below is what he likes.

Brida's Tech Tango
How do you strike the perfect balance between leveraging technology and maintaining genuine human connections in our collaborative projects?
Cléa and Maxime started their project with some help from Sam, Brida's Virtual Assistant. This is a delicate balance, adopting what technology offers whilst not letting it take over.
|
|
|
|
|
Thankfully, Cléa was quick to delegate responsibility to me.
|
|
|
Which leaves me simply to say, have a wonderful Easter break. The next newsletter will be in two weeks.
Looking forward to seeing most of you in the coming week.
