What we did at AGSB University of Iloilo Campus last January 11, 2014

January 13, 2014

                        My second free lunch with the class; at Punsyon in Mandurriao (near SM): Ramey, Prof Jorge, Pam, Christian, Jan, Terence, and Joevic

We had the following activities at the Entrepr Class in Iloilo, (University of Iloilo campus program)

1. Concept for products, and businesses. We did a rapid prototyping exercise on common products as ID, pen, and keys.

2. Tag lines

3. Practice:

     1. New product concept from negative materials (trash)

     2. Rapid prototyping .

     While we exchanged the trash brought by the class, the Group of Terence, Ramey and Jan had all things set; they had a rather remarkable non slip, reversible slip less. (The traditional slippers really slip.) True entrepreneurs:   flexible, resourceful yet with strong determination. Last minute changes will not deter them.

Factors Paper

Entrepreneur - AGSB ILOILO

As i am pondering on how to do my factors paper, i chance upon the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) self assessment test (as recommended by the syllabus of Prof Saguinsin). At the onset i already have an inkling of how my entrepreneur potential would be but just the same, i read the instruction and it clearly says that i cannot answer 2 or 3 for the assessment to be effective. So i answered it as truthfully as i could…

The Assessment Results:

Motivations - i like power or control in everything i do. I want everything to be as what i projected it to be thus my motivation factor is more on the power. My self-sufficiency or freedom is quite low and it would seem that i cannot on my own without some interaction.

Aptitudes - my self confidence as an entrepreneur is quite low while my determination is high, it is my lack of confidence and imagination that bring down my aptitude skills.

Attitudes - My perception to act upon one's destiny is high and it means that i could take it upon myself if i want something to succeed or not.

The result were not surprising:

I am a very pessimistic person and somehow i think you need to be the very opposite of my attitude to be a successful entrepreneur. I always think of doomsday scenario and what if failures thus i always end up not being able to snowball the ideas.

Now i need to read this article…

Teaching Assignment for MBA AGSB-University of Iloilo Program

Iloilo City, Philippines December 14, 2013

                                    Terence was the masterful Presiding Officer of the debate

I was given a teaching assignment for MBA Regis Program at University of Iloilo by Ms. Bigette Vinuya. Our academic coordinator there was Ms. Carmen Dabao, and the student for entrepreneuship there would be the first batch for MBA: Terence, Pam, Christian, Joevic, Ramey and Jan.

I said that they need MBA only for the certification. Joevic is a NSM of Jardine Davies, Christian family's AM Builders have several (dozens of stores all ready) Terence business include sugar central, importation of soya, livestock, sustainable livestock, and flour, Ramey if Coke plant manager, and the family of Jan is into pharmaceutical. We just need to facilitate the sharing

And so I flew in from Manila and the plane was delayed for two hours last Friday December 13, 2013. Since I could not find the hotel booked for me, Circle Inn, I stayed at Riverside Inn, where I usually stay for my Iloilo visit. It is cheap (only P500.00 per night after senior citizen discount,) and very accessible.

I taught the following day. The assignments were explained we would catch up next session. We only have 3 remaining days session:   Jan 15, February 1 and 8

I found out that three of the students business were hard hit by Yolanda: AM builders of Christian, the sugar central of Terrence, and the cock farms of Joevic. They welcome donations

The classroom did not have a PC or computer: only a projector. We were used to the support given to the faculty at AGSB

We had a lunch though at Chicken Inasal.

Our major activities were:   the walk through of the syllabus, the debate and the group presentation of Illegal Activities. We had fun in the debate and the illegal activity and practiced a lot of critical thinking.    Terence though deftly handled Joevic who constantly asked questions; he was entitled to only one question.
