Strategic Planning of M&A Resource Training Center
BY: EMELY JOY C. MAÑUS
A consulting business can cope with this fast-changing world if it has the ability to strategize. One way to strategize is to plan in a discussion with the presence of a team members with excellent and smart opinions.
M&A has its mission and vision since 1993. And its existing mission and vision has directed M&A to mold and help organizations through the services it has rendered. M&A has served a lot of organizations namely; cooperatives, private companies, foundations, government agencies and microfinance institutions. And because M&A has evolved through the years it has now the urge to update, hence, the tag line: “Facilitating solutions, achieving goals”.
M&A Resource Training Center held a Strategic Planning last November 25 to 26, 2011. The strategic planning was facilitated by Mr. Vic Porpio who is one of the Project consultants of M&A, with the presence of Mr. Cosme Pacana-President, WordSpring Foundation Inc., Ms. Fatima Pacana-Executive Director, WordSpring Foundation Inc., Ms. Matet Peliño-Project Consultant, Mr. Khass Llacuna-SEO, WordSpring Foundation and Mr. Glenn Palacio-Web and Graphics design specialist.
The team set the said planning to facilitate an open discussion and to have the chance to exchange thoughts and ideas. The event could be considered as a way for M&A Resource Training Center to improve and upgrade the strategies.
During the discussion, the team members have different opinions but it didn’t matter because it helped each other to generate ideas. The discussion was a way to make things better.
The issues tackled during the discussion were the following; M&A’s Mission and Vision; what are the things to consider, views and beliefs to be discussed and details to be systematized.
To form the MISSION and VISION, Mr. Vic Porpio facilitated and organized the collection of ideas and thoughts of the team. Thereafter, the team deliberated the collected ideas and decided to pick the best words to form the mission and vision. The premise of the MISSION and VISION was balanced by considering other factors, like economy, spiritual, business and social responsibility.
Mr. Vic Porpio stressed out that MISSION and VISSION must be reviewed once in awhile so that the company wouldn’t be out of race nor outdated.
The team members exchanged thoughts and suggested their ideas, but they had one thing in mind-which is the significance of what they are doing. Their goal is to come up with a stable and attainable mission and vision.
Personally, the event was like having a perfect learning, just to see how deities with excellent ideas participated in the strategic planning. And on how they’ve done it, was just amazing!
I realized that, if a business strives for success and doesn’t have strategy, a business wouldn’t be successful. And if a business doesn’t see the significance of its mission and vision then nothing on that business can be called as success. Indeed, if M&A adapts and reinvents its strategy, then surely M&A can compete with this fast changing world,
