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)

Prof Jorge Entrep holds Corporate Entrep seminar for IIAP

26 F FGU Ayala Center, Ayala Ave. Makati City   PHL    |  May 7, 2013

                                       Mandy Jeffrey and Iza - some of the attendees

Prof Jorge is conducting a 3 day seminar of insurance executives at Insurance Academy for Asia and Pacific at the said venue.  There are currently 8 participants who attended:

1.  Marika V. Chavez

2.  Izafinna S. Ching

3.  Michael Feliciano

4.  Michael L. Gatdula

5.  Maribeth Hermosa

6.  Jeffrey R. Lacson

7.  Grace Monica P. Lobrilla

8.  Mandy C. Velasquez

Two are Ateneo GSB MBA grads;   three are from Phil Charter Insurance (part of Metrobank group) and one worked with Malayan whose fmr President who happens  to be  a compadre is running for vice mayor of the writer's town

The director of the institute, Prof. Jene Aliwalas invited Prof Jorge to hold this course.  IIAP is holding an equivalent MBA degree program specializing in insurance.  The coordinator is Yna Empeno who has been very attentive to the needs of the facilitator and the participants.

What were taken up:   lectures on entrepreneurship, I am the best self affirmation, new ID - eas; how to conduct a crime, corporate entrepreneurship.

My conclusion was that all the guys were there because they are the best still wanting to be the best.  Some were blessed with academic honors;  the others are street smart and go getters

Prof Jene Aliwalas graduated Summa Cum Laude from UST

     Marika Chavez, Assumptionista, AGSB MBA of IIAP explaining why she is the best -awesome!

   Jeffrey Lacson submitted 776 suggestions;  only 70% were approved;  Mandy of Malayan listening


                              Michael G says he is the best because he keeps on improving

                                 Mandy from Malayan and UP,  a math wizard and a go getter

                                Michael F sold stuff, studied in Cambridge Mass;  good at selling


                        Yna the seminar coordinator, and Prof Jene Aliwalas IIAP director

How could be a corporate honcho like Rose of MakatiMed be considered an entrepreneur?

Angono, Rizal, PHL by ProfJorgeEntrep  March 17, 2013

Thank you again:   Rose, Classmate Joven, and Dr. Gina Nazareth

 Rose stresses a point;  Joven listens

The least I can do to promote entrepreneurship is to bring them to the class to honor them by letting them share their stories of success and failure with the MBA class, honoring them with certificates, and sharing their stories and their picture at this blogsite.  It may be little effort but the word goes around and the impact may be felt later on:  with the readers of this blog site and or the entrep students.

This is a high leveraged activity of the class group activity and no paper is required for this;  the group gets a 4 for bringing in the entrep guest to the class.  I would say that the speech of the entrepreneurs electifies/ignites the passion in the listeners - to put it mildly.

Last week Dr. Gina mentioned to me that her group would invite Rose of MakatiMed as their guest to which I readily said yes.  Having heard her story last Dec 8, 2012 at the AdeMU grand reunion at the Ateneo High School, and knowing that her story would be a critical knowledge to the owners and administrators of hospitals who are MBAH students, I readily said yes.

Thus she came yesterday  and true enough her story was punctuated by innovation and entrepreneurship:  

On infrastructures:

l.  Simulated lighting by Philips by Philips on windowless rooms;

2.   Panoramic elevators to improve traffic

3.  Murals at the top of lower buidings;

4.  Dividing islands to improve outside traffic flow

5.  Improved lighting at waiting area

6.  New facade and color for the building exterior

7.  New color and furnishing for hospital rooms

8.  Solar powered air con and water heater  (How a solar powered aircon works)

     Solar aircon by California Electronics

9.  New ICT system

10.  Better concessionaires area for benefit of patients

11.  Filmless radiology  (However Dr. Erick, outsourcing the same to the them would be much better)
Filmless radiology  (the article mentions PACS -Picture and Archival and Communications System)

12. Molecular pathology lab,


She steered clear of the mindset of the hotel like accommodations at the hospital because the patient want to be discharged fast and safely (the patient may get infections in the hospital cant he?

On procedures and systems:

1.  Outsourcing collection with banks

2.  Outsourcing drugs to a cooperative (VAT and Income tax free to be competitive with Mercury drugstores;  drugstore would have a reminder to the patient when the prescription needs to be refilled for repeat sales

3.  Bar code for inventory system;

4.  Rationalization of logistics system (supply chain management

 5.  Altering the culture of entitlement

 6.  Call center at MakatiMed

Other new things:

1.  CSR - MoA with Rizal Medical Center

2.  Partnership with provincial hospitals (private and govt? ) for cross referral of patients

N.B.  I have incorporated a number of links on a number of topics to help enlighten the reader on the very new topic

                                Appreciation for Ms. Rose for sharing her knowledge and expertise

I think this the real stuff MBAH should be made of;   learning from the experts. It is seldom you can hear such selfless sharing, passionate engagement with doctors on hard core issues about health and hospital administration.  We wish we had more time.  How I wish we had another semester like this with doctors.

Thus doctors learned more by not spending more and bringing in their guests.  How strategic and how ingenious!
