A programme to help enterprises and individuals in Brazil to equip themselves and shape the future economy

Consulus Global Innovation Consultancy and Anpecom Brazil are pleased to announce the official launch of the Brasil 4.0 Programme today. The project seeks to create a platform to help Brazilian micro-enterprises and individuals to find purpose, and transform and equip themselves with the necessary solutions to prepare for the future economy.

Through this collaboration between Consulus and Anpecom, both bodies hope to create a world-class model designed to help the poorest and those in need of it, while engaging those who can and should help the ones in need, in a virtuous cycle of economic communion aimed at getting ready for the future economy.

“Consulus is committed to contribute to the shaping of a more inclusive future economy. This effort with Anpecom to help micro-enterprises or leaders with little means in need of quality business solutions is an important part of our global work to shape an inclusive Industry 4.0,” said Lawrence Chong, CEO of Consulus Global.

“We are very happy with this partnership between Consulus and Anpecom, because we have started a world-class work with the spirit and purpose of the Economy of Communion at the centre of our focus," said Marcelo Cassa, Vice President of Anpecom.

"I think this initiative of Consulus and Anpecom can contribute to other organizations in Brazil and in the world to expand their scope, and inspire other people and companies." said Carlos Xavier, National Director of Consulus Brazil

Through this programme, Consulus will collaborate with Anpecom to offer five different solutions, catering to the needs of Brazil enterprises and individuals:

• PersonalCORE, a personal evaluation programme to help individuals find their personal purpose and development roadmap.
• UNITY 4.0, an audit programme to help companies review their ability to act as one and create value in an age of disruption.
• DigitalCORE, an audit and recommendation programme to help companies transform and thrive in the digital economy.
• LeadershipCORE, personal or team-based creative courses and programmes to help leaders and leading teams rethink their role, gain new skills and learn how to unite their organisations to navigate amidst future challenges and be effective in Industry 4.0.
• PurposeCORE, the principal business transformation solution of Consulus and the world’s first 3-in-1 transformation programme covering business management, human resources and design.

Last November, Consulus and Anpecom signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) whereby Consulus will provide assistance to member companies of Anpecom in their market entry expansion globally. The Brasil 4.0 Programme is the first initiative following this MOU.
