Corporate Entrepreneurship course evaluation at IIAP

Rizal  Philippines  |  May 11, 2011


Yna Empeno, the coordinator of IIAP emailed me the rating/course evaluation.  I am glad the students liked the presentation


Michael Salvatore Feliciano - a business entrepreneur

Rizal, Philippines May 11, 2013

                                 Michael gives high grade for I am the best session

In the just completed Corporate Entrepreneurship course conducted for IIAP, my conclusion is that Michael F is the business entrepreneur.  He is engaged in marketing insurance products but his preoccupation seems to be in running/putting up new businesses, creating new products, cooking, having new ideas for their family business.

They are making wines and look at the name:   "Unwined" and he even brought samples.  He is very much abreast of organic farming, food, wine making and healthy living.


                              Michael prepared another batch of strawberry goodies and wine samples


                                   And he said he is depressed with all his display of enthusiasm


                               Michael F very busy with his creation

Last session day for Corporate Entrepreneurship at IIAP

FGU - Ayala Life Center, Ayala Ave., Makati City   MM PHL   |   May 9, 2013

                                 A wacky shot?, Grace was the darling of the class;   "hard"

Today marks the last session day for corporate entrepreneurship for insurance executives of IIAP.  
We did a review of the past 2 session days.  And what made the most impact according to them was the dry cooking and "I am the best" self affirmation.

Then we covered lateral thinking, business process, business model, the innovation of business process and business model.  I had the clickable links listed in a post for easy navigation and then had the usual picture taking.

I am happy and satisfied with what I did:  the syllabus and all the teaching materials and I hope that this left an impact to the insurance execs participants.


                                  The boys in front and they sat down, the ladies stood up!

                                     It was time for ladies to sit down


                                Yna, the course coordinator joined the group picture

Another wacky class picture?  L to R:   Yna, Rika, Jeff, Yza, Prof Jorge, Mandy, Michael, Michael and Grace.

I would like to think that the class was pretty much engaged in the subject judging from the interaction in the class, their comments, questions, and their participation in the group activities.

Michael brought  a new set of strawberry cum graham biscuit creation and passion fruit wine sample branded as "Unwined".

 I was mostly asking questions to the MBAs in the class (Iza and Marika) and Iza said that she was a little bit pressured by this set up, since she finished her MBA several years back.  (Well I thought that Ateneo MBA should live to their name as Masters, no matter what the time and place)

New Ideas - Suggestion




From: Jeffrey Lacson <mail@jrlacson.com>
Date: Wed, May 8, 2013 at 7:41 AM
Subject: Suggestion



Mall guards for not diligently inspecting bags of their guests. The supposedly preventive control (terrorism, etc) is not functioning as intended and causes inconvenience (long lines in the entrance) to their clients. 

If this activity will be on a permanent basis, (1) install a more high-tech equipment to ease the traffic in the entrance (without sacrificing security) or (2) install a more flexible door, where you can adjust entrance and exit space depending on the flow of people, peak hours. Put additional guards that will inspect bags and make sure they know what they are looking for, and somebody should check if they really doing their job.

If on a temporary basis (based on intel info / reports), i still suggest (2) and increase more guard visibility during heightened alert.

What Pisses You Off? Nuideas from IIAP attendees




From: Ching Izafinna S - Charter Ping An 
Subject: Re: What Pisses You Off?



What pissed me off? Its when a traffic enforcer pulls you over and then asks if you know your violation.  Well, he should know since he's the one that pulled me over.  
My solution is to defend myself since I know myself that I did not violate any traffic rules.. Maybe he's just out for bribe.   Thank God because for almost 18 years of driving, my license was never been confiscated to any traffic violations.

Another thing that pisses me off is when my staff's commit repeated mistakes, solution is to have more patience to correct and guide them.

Group creative activity of IIAP class - dry cooking

26th floor, Ayala Life -  FGU center, Ayala Ave, Makati City  PHL
May 8, 2013

                          Yna E was the food taster and the judge;  what was the decision?

The most important activity of the day I think which engaged the class was the dry cooking activity.  Initially,  we planned to have 2 groups but because of the power outage, we were forced to shift to this activity and there were only 5 attendees at that time.  We settled for one group.  I brought two sets of bell pepper and imported strawberries.  The class mission was to create a dish with the two ingredients I brought.  They brought their own ingredients to complete the product.

The major criteria was that it is to be edible;  the class should eat what they prepared.  And second the food should be different and delicious. 

And they rose to the challenge.  We ate all that they prepared.  See more of what they did.

Many commented that their colleagues were laughing for attending a culinary arts school.

But they said that:  they learned to connect and work as group, they had fun;  those who did not cook or prepare food got interested in food and lastly, they became creative.


          My contribution to the challenging and fun filled activity:  bell pepper and strawberries


                                    Michael F going solo in preparing his award winning creation


                                Insurance execs turned chef thinking of how to plan the menu


                                   Michael F putting the final touches


                                   Chefs in action




                                  More food preparation


                                  Can we monetize these treats?

                                Appearance and food taste both count;  nice presentation of food

                                    For marketing and for Facebook (face of the dish?)


                                 Photos (not prayers) before we eat


                                    Admiring their creation


                         Time to taste the food;  Michael G says chicaron with jam tastes good


                                   Enjoying the meal

Michael F took home the rest of the strawberries, he will prepare food for the class and bring some wine.  That will be the last class day celebration
