Rationale
The Brigada Eskwela Program is one of the most important programs in DepEd. In the
Spirit of Bayanihan, private institutions/individuals, government agencies, local
government units, and other organizations contribute to DepEd campaign to ensure
accessible and quality basic education. Educational stakeholder volunteerism should be
promoted and strengthened among public schools to form collaboration and partnership
of internal and external stakeholders to ensure success in educational undertakings and
yield remarkable learning outcomes.
Through this initiative, the importance of the community is recognized in making
schools the best place for learners to acquire values and competencies needed to
contribute to nation-building. Clean classrooms, well-maintained learning tools, and
attractive landscaping inspire students to attend school, study hard and persevere to
achieve their goals.
Jungay, T. D., and Guillo, R. M., (2019) stressed that stakeholders play an important role
in helping schools function well. They are partners of the school leaders in making and
ensuring that the school is conducive to the teaching and learning process. They are also
responsible for the achievement of learning outcomes through their active participation in
school activities, programs, and projects. Almost every project implemented by the school
involves stakeholders that take the central role in task accomplishment. Stakeholders are
instrumental in the successful implementation of school programs.
Dechos ( 2017) revealed that in the weeklong activity, only during the first three days
can you see large volume of volunteers. Some activities are not accomplished because
teachers were also busy preparing their classes. They were not cooperative in terms of
school improvement because they were attending to the readiness of their classrooms.
School heads are busy attending to some other reports and time constrains made them a
solid interference. They confessed that they have difficulty in tapping partners who will
support in the BE implementation. Some stakeholders did not know the significance of the
activity due to poor information campaign of the schools. There was no proper procedure
in the conduct of the activities. Schools prepared the reports for the sake of submission.
When this attitude is present, one could not expect good output of Brigada Eskwela
report.
Undeniably, schools need external partners to assist school administrators and teachers
in sustaining the life of school affairs throughout times to ensure quality education for
students. To achieve maximum benefit from community partnership efforts,
administrators, teachers, and community partners must work collaboratively to establish
common goals and a clear understanding of the purpose of the partnership. This can be
especially true during the implementation phase where community partners may have
identified a school in their community they wish to partner

Customer Value Mapping: Using customer value mapping to understand what custo...Business901
Customer value mapping is a qualitative approach that looks at the perceived value of a product or service from the customer’s perspective.
The Business901 Fractional Marketing Services allow customers to focus on their core operations while the business development and marketing experts at Business901 handle customer-facing campaigns. The plans are tailored to each business, considering each company’s existing capabilities, budget, and industry.
Business901 offers a unique combination of traditional and progressive methods to maximize customer growth. Social media campaigns, in-person and online events, and partnerships with industry organizations are all available, depending on the company’s needs. Additionally, Business901 utilizes AI-based tools to accelerate the sales and marketing process. This modern approach ensures that customers get the most out of their time and budget.
“At the end of the day, Business901 is focused on providing clients with the best experience possible,” said Dager. “We strive to give our clients access to the expertise and resources they need to succeed in their respective industries.”We act as teachers, consultants, strategists, or implementers. The program is designed around your desired deliverables with specific milestones and time frames to meet your outcomes.
Are you looking at growth through the right lenses? Or are you still operating in the Doom Loop? Is your disciplined actions focused on experimentation?
Jim Collins has been talking about the Flywheel Effect for many years and most of us (should) know the intricacies behind the concept. Reviewing the recent book Experimentation Works, author Stefan Thomke reinforces this effect through Booking's Growth Flywheel and his own 7 System Levers.
Expanding on just 3 of the 7 levers:
1. Scale: Number of experiments per week, months, or year
2. Scope: Extent to which an organization’s employees are involved in experiments
3. Speed: Time from formulating a hypothesis to completing an experiment
In the past, I have written about using the Lean trio of SDCA, PDCA, EDCA with an umbrella of CAP-Do or in Non-Lean terms; Standard Work, Continuous Improvement, Design Thinking (Exploration), and Reflection.
In the book, Cracked it!: How to solve big problems and sell solutions like top strategy consultants, the authors lay out their 4s Framework in much the same manner with a flowchart to guide you through the use of it. Their dive into each discipline is excellent. Enjoy the read.
The part of the framework that they took the time with that most problem-solving books don’t is the Sell Stage. Of course, I am partial to that area but even though I am, when doing it for myself, I often just think people get it. Everyone wants to grow revenue or save time and money?
I also like that though it is convenient to put documentation at the end and part of this stage, I took a little deeper meaning from it. The part of sustaining, and even improving again often rests on the idea of how we deliver/sell the results.

In BRANOPS, we scale by looking at marketing from a Growth Mindset. We don’t start with a complex market and try to work back by tweaking and modifying it.
Roles of Intuition & Rationality in Strategic DecisionsBusiness901
Author Julia Sloan in the book, Learning to Think Strategically, emphasizes the need for both a Creative and Rational balance in the approach.
Sloan says, "Without a well-honed intuitive sense, problem analysis can remain clinical, sanitized, and ineffectual, in that problems are exposed only superficially and analyzed without much, if any, examination of the “truthfulness” of their cause. Rationality then plays the critical role of identifying relevant information and analyzing facts." I find her approach the rest of the book equally enlightening.
This process reminds me of the Divergent/Convergent Design Think approach and equally similar to Disney’s Creative Strategy: Dreamer, Realist, and Critic approach.
I have both an electronic and audion version of the book. It is a good listen. Amazon: Learning to Think Strategically 4th Edition https://amzn.to/2Z1vyKB

Would you contribute to empowering Freelancers in your work environment?
Please consider joining this LinkedIn Group:
https://lnkd.in/eRuGzsm
As the use of Freelancers proliferate across organizational departments new ways of thinking are required. We have created instances of success in employee onboarding but often we have similar expectations of Freelancers in very condensed cycles.
This group is intended first and foremost to create awareness of these issues and elaborate on ideas for enhancing the flow of work between the stakeholders.
Lean Scale Up: Lean as a Growth StrategyBusiness901
The Lean Scale-Up ebook has been a handout and lead generator on my website for several years. It was created with the understanding that if you can build a culture of PDCA, a culture of learning, growth becomes part of everyone’s job.
It is this aspect I have always believe that separates good companies from great companies.

In creating an International Strategy, "Where to play" is a critical component, maybe the most. And the scariest part is that it can change rather quickly. What is your risk? Are you prepared?
This is an excerpt from a recent Prime Target and Euromonitor International webinar about risk hosted by Tatiana Miron: https://lnkd.in/eXr_8dU
PrimeTarget.tech helps SMEs and startups accelerate growth and improve performance globally through the power of data and analytics. The management team is versatile and abreast in growth hacking for companies with global ambitions. Their purpose is to open access to small and medium enterprises to a fundamentally new approach in decision making with regards to global strategies, one designed to match today's fast pace of change and new technologies.
Get On Track with a Strength-Based Sales and Marketing ApproachBusiness901
If the video does not play in the 2nd slide, this is the YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/fmWWut0rjBY
The video incorporates the disciplines I use within a Strength-Based Sales and Marketing effort. Taken from great leaders of Appreciative Inquiry, it may look complicated but all of these are founded on the basic principles of AI.
Appreciative Inquiry is a shift from looking at problems and deficiencies and instead focusing on strengths and successes. It is a tool for change, and it will strengthen relationships throughout your business. Most people struggle to obtain this mindset without training. We have just been conditioned otherwise. I always use the example that is about obtaining the flow of what and how versus the drilling down of why. In sales and marketing when you analyze your wins instead of your losses it makes you 10X more likely to understand the events that trigger decision-makers to become motivated about buying your product or service.

Understand the Purpose Behind the QuestionBusiness901
The ability to ask good questions is essential in today’s world. However, as Stephen Covey categorized in one of his 7 Habits; “Seek first to Understand, then to be understood.” Or another way Dale Carnegie phrased this, “To be interesting, be interested.” To accomplish this, I think one of the areas that most of could work on is to develop our ability to quickly recognize the purpose of the question. When we do this, it is much easier to align perspectives and therefore engage in collaborative efforts.
Adapted from the work of Stafford (2009) and from the book, Collaborating for Inquiry-Based Learning: School Librarians and Teachers Partner for Student Achievement by Virginia L. Wallace and Whitney N. Husid, the Purposes for Question diagram is an ideal training aid for me in sales and marketing.
Turning Reflection into Action using the Lean Process of CAP-Do Business901
The Lean Process of CAP-Do is how I initiate most projects. It creates a path towards capturing standard work, deciding what we what improve on, what we want to explore and not to be forgotten what we want to stop doing. This outline provides an introduction to using Lean for marketing and introduces the upcoming workshop on Marketing Action Research.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
