<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.gulliver.cl"><img style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3497/3229825331_144249ba02_o.jpg" width="240" height="59" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are a consulting company called <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gulliver.cl">Gulliver</a>, in honor of the title character of "Gulliver's travels" who faced the challenge of having to re-learn how to cope with a new reality each time he stepped off his ship. Everything he had learned about dealing with Lilliputians was rendered useless when he came face to face with giants. Our company's thesis is that the pace of change in our personal lives and our work have transformed each of us into Gulliver and that tapping into Collective Intelligence is the only way we can avoid becoming obsolete; as people, companies or industries.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.gl-sa.com"> </a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We founded <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gl-sa.com">Gesti&oacute;n &amp; Liderazgo</a> (Management &amp; Leadership) in 1997 as a business consulting company based in Santiago, Chile, focused in helping people and companies to cope with change in different forms:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br />1.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Expanding people's entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship capabilities</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br />2.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Making "Customer Care" an effective and embodied term</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br />3.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Moving companies from strategies to effective action</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br />4.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Leading change management teams</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">We founded <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bluecompany.cl">Blue Company</a> in 2002 in Chile as a consulting firm, with the goal of impacting
the world by creating Internet technologies that connect people and ideas while encouraging conversations. 
In early 2006, Blue began developing an Internet platform it called <a target="_blank" href="http://www.bligoo.com/home">Bligoo</a> that leveraged the software tools
it had already developed for its clients.
The philosophy behind the creation of Bligoo as a communication and interaction
platform stems from the founders philosophy rooted in the belief that there is power in the
collective consciousness, or the shared beliefs and ideas of a community. </p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" href="http://insumochina.bligoo.com/"> </a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our latest endevor&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://insumochina.bligoo.com/">Insumo China</a>&nbsp;was created&nbsp;to transform the "another good somebody brought from china" experience into a proactive, collaborative and committed level. Our goal is to put customers to work together to reach inland China and create their own trade.</p>]]></description>
