Simplicity: a complex process?
Dear reader,
It was brought to our attention that delivery of the January edition was punctuated by irregularities, for reasons that remain unclear, considerably limiting its availability. The Maestro editorial team considers the January edition one of the best to date, given its theme and content, so we’re resending it. We at Maestro wish you a good read.
We start the year highly charged by publications that converge to highlight, from different angles, a vital element of our professional and personal life: simplicity. In this issue, you will find, at least we hope you do, articles that inspire you to greatly simplify your life. This is not idle talk, because simplicity is now an essential part of the Maestro philosophy when it comes to solutions, processes and communications. In the future, de-complexification will be one of Maestro’s top priorities.

Voluntary simplicity
Complexity is not a new phenomenon. Since man abandoned the caves and the hunter/trapper role, all of his actions have led to the development of an increasingly rich environment, however, it is also increasingly complex. The simple act of picking fruit and eating it has been replaced by the complex process of planting a tree, looking after it, ... MORE Send a comment

How to simplify your implementation
Simplicity is a concept we all believe we understand. However, when we sit down to try and define it, we find that this task is more complicated than we thought. Why does this happen? The easiest way to explain this would be to say that because we are human beings, we are complex. Individually, we see simplicity differently through the way we live and how we view ...

The essence of good communication
A lack of time, use of the wrong medium and a lack of skills often result in communication problems. Communication is an art that is not mastered by everyone. We lose an incredible amount of time misunderstanding each other and we experience the frustrations that result from this. Being aware of this can lead us to pay greater attention to this problem.
