iACADEMY School of Continuing Education (iSCE) is pleased to welcome its new Executive Director, Mr. Jordan Imutan, who took the lead last July 2014. A seasoned professional whose career spans over two decades of industry innovation and excellence in the IT field, Mr. Imutan now tries to share his learnings and experiences through iSCE in the service of education.
As iSCE’s new leader, Mr. Imutan envisions different strategies of maintaining, improving and ensuring that iSCE continues its excellence through his direction. He sees how our fellow Filipinos can be up-skilled for the coming ASEAN Integration. The Integration is expected to open up and boost investments, create jobs and incomes in the whole region. All member states would then be open to zero import duties for ASEAN products and services by 2015, while all nationals within the state would then be allowed to freely work anywhere in the region without exclusions.
The said integration will allow for opportunities for our companies and work force to collaborate extensively and create a stronger backbone for our economy. With a combined $2.2 trillion GDP market, the best companies in the ASEAN nations will be able to compete with local companies of their neighboring country. However, in order to compete, our local companies would need to raise the quality of our products and service. Moreover, the very competency of our human resource must also necessarily improved, in order to compete with the best of the best in the ASEAN.
This is where the role of iSCE is best poised to assist the prospective workers. iSCE has assembled two Centers of Excellence for companies and other career-minded employees. The Center for Process Improvement provides insights into the practice and methodology of such business resources, with groups such as Lean Six Sigma, ITIL, Project Management (PMI) and Change Management spearheading its programs.
The other Center which provides a simple and practical framework to Transform your company from where it is today to a world-class player. This framework includes four main components; Executive Strategy Blueprint, Managers implementation blueprint, The People Agenda, Essential Leadership Skills for the Transformation.
