The main purpose of the new board is to improve the operational activities of the Brazilian Chapter in the short term. To do this we are beginning to build a new web site which will contain our members’ data base and new services, facilitating information control, communication processes and member services.
As the new president Niraldo lives in Brasília, the SBDS office will be transferred temporarily from Sao Paulo to this city. This decision is important because some legal transactions should be registered in the city which hosts the Society. Furthermore, we are negotiating with a sponsor – AIEC – Continued Educational International Association - which will offer support to SBDS’ activities in Brasília. The AIEC program provide a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and is the first educational organization to offers two disciplines based in Dynamics Systems through the Internet, in Brazil.
In June 21, 2005 we held a meeting at FGV-EAESP, in São Paulo, with members from various regions of Brazil. This meeting was important to define some of our main actions for the next two years. Among them isa National Symposium at São Paulo University (USP) in December (2005). Unfortunately our First Conference was postponed to 2006 because we need more time to plan the event.
In October 2004 SBDS was invited to participate of the 5º Competitive Intelligence and Knowledge Management Congress with a panel entitled “System Dynamics: possible uses in the Competitive Intelligence and Knowledge Management areas”. The debate was conducted by Niraldo Nascimento with the participation of Leonardo Reis, Júlio Figueiredo and Vicente Nogueira. The Congress held in Brasília was organized by FINEP (Research and Projects Financing) member of The Brazilian Innovation Agency and ABRAIC – Intelligence Competitive Analysts Brazilian Association.
