XLIX BAROMETER: Wanting less bureaucracy without betting on digital and talent is "wanting the result without investing in the cause"

The article analyzes the XLIX Barometer, referring to the position of José Esteves, Director of Porto Business School, on the issue of bureaucracy. Esteves argues that wanting to reduce bureaucracy without simultaneously investing in digitalization and talent development is an incomplete approach. His analysis suggests that these three dimensions are interconnected and that neglecting any of them compromises the intended results. The title of the analysis synthesizes this perspective: trying to reduce bureaucracy without betting on digital and talent is equivalent to wanting results without investing in their fundamental causes.
