Everyone sees World Events Based on their interest 

August 26, 2022

I remember very well what my father said forty-six years ago, while I was visiting his workplace as a young boy in the Governor’s Office, Province of Batangas, Philippines. He was the Provincial Administrator-in-charged of socio-political affairs at that time (1976).

My dad articulated that the statement is about goals, objectives, missions, and visions. Some are grander, and some are simpler. Instead of saying, “there’s no greater goal than a personal goal,” he chose the word “interest” to sum it up. Of course, as can be expected of most young people, what I heard went from one ear and out the other.

I only began to realize the wisdom of his statement years later.

Happy Easter 2022 Everyone! A new life is before us!

April 14, 2022

Easter, also called Resurrection Day and Pascha, is a Christian holiday celebrating Jesus Christ returning from the dead. Christians believe that it is the holiest day in the year. Some people who are not Christians celebrate it also as a cultural holiday.

The New Testament states that on the Sunday after Jesus was killed, his body was no longer in the tomb where he was laid. Later, Jesus is said to have appeared to over 500 people and preached to them. The New Testament teaches that the resurrection of Jesus is what Christianity is based on.

Integrated Schedules, Must Have in Program Portfolio Management

March 12, 2022

Program management is the process of managing several related projects typically to enhance an organization’s outlook, better its industry reputation, to improve overall productivity and to avail of long-term opportunities. I would like to re-share with you today one of the approaches I’ve formulated and used in achieving Program Schedule Integration in the not too distant past.

Management of interdependent multiple projects calls for an integrated approach. Interdependent in a sense that some activities of one project cannot start or finish without the predecessor project activities from another project or supporting group started or completed. For small to medium size program portfolio, effectively managing the overall and overarching schedule can still be quite challenging for Project Managers.

Truth of the Matter is “No End in Sight to COVID 19”

January 8, 2022

Now, the whole world is pretty much in the same fix. Two years into this Covid era is very frustrating, bringing a bunch of physical, spiritual, behavioral, and moral problems with it. We all want this plague to humanity to end, but how can something end if the world’s top scientists don’t know where and how the virus started. Yes, the old saying said, “every beginning has an end.” What do you think will happen if nobody understands the beginning while the virus is possibly replicating to another strain like the Delta and the Omicron in real-time?

Risk Assessment Window: COVID-19 Trend for the next 9-months

August 27, 2021

The talk of going back to work has been heating up in the last three months prior to August 2021. While we are all hoping to get back on track to pre-pandemic time, it is prudent to observe first what will happen for the rest of the year before declaring any form of normalcy in the get-back-to work order.

So the timeframe from now to the First Quarter of 2022 is the acid test. It will show where we are in this COVID19 situation. It looks like many Canadians are still in the category of most at risk despite having been vaccinated, so they’d probably like to see that there will be no resurgence of the pandemic in the coming winter months like what happened in the winter months of 2020.

How to Visualize Risk

December 4, 2020

Mark is boarding a plane and heard one passenger in front remarked in jest that the chance of the aircraft reaching its destination is 50%. It is just a joke to him because he is a serious risk practitioner. The statement demonstrates the probability component of risk.
