Director letter

2022 will see my 25th anniversary with this great business project. We have given it a huge amount of effort, intelligence, and, above all, a lot of love. Applying very clear ideas, knowing where we had to go, consolidating each step forward, anticipating and taking care of the interests of all our fellow travellers, even if they sometimes come into conflict with one another. Now seeing the end of the 2021 financial year, the object of this corporate report, I can only feel proud of the work done and the challenges met by all of us who have participated in it.

Since 1998, when I joined, there have been many economic, social, and technological developments that have shaped our sector, society, and the world. From the birth of Google in 1998 to the recent COVID-19 pandemic. All of them diverse and challenging. We have adapted and overcome all of them, turning Gesdocument into a benchmark in the business consulting sector.

Our corporate memory is a sample of this. It shows us how far we have come, what we have been able to do, and how far we can go in the coming years. I never had any doubts about it. For this reason, we once again undertake this exercise in transparency for our stakeholders with the aim of explaining what we do, who we are, and what our purpose is. In this seventh issue of our corporate memory we essentially highlight what makes us different and what motivates us to continue working every day as if it were the last.

For some years, we have been immersed in a process of digital transformation which has given birth to the technological development of internal portals and platforms in order to provide service in an agile and effective way. This process has been consolidated this year with GD SUITE PRO, the first technological platform on the market that combines service and technology.

While technology has given us a boost to improve the quality of our service, the return to face-to-face activities in the five offices in which we are based has allowed us to restore personal ties with teams and with our customers, giving way to a flexible way of working, but without losing the bonds between the professionals who make up GD.

We have continued to innovate and dare to carry out projects that make us proud and make a difference. We have launched a digital newspaper GD Empresa with information of interest to companies and Stories for our clients and associates; we have streamlined internal processes, created a specific knowledge management department; and we have implemented a platform aimed at training, convinced that internal professional development is in the interest of everyone.

In short, we continue to look to the future.
