Creating New Opportunities at Work

Business life is changing drastically and these changes are creating new opportunities in the world of work, which is moving from a stable business environment in earlier decades to radical, complex and increasing change.

Thirty years ago companies saw the future as somewhat predictable and manageable with gradual incremental change. Change occurred in a linear fashion where one cause produced only one effect, with a simple additive property, i.e. 1 + 1 = 2.

Change now is being driven from a variety of perspectives and is happening exponentially. There are non-linear relationships between causes and effects, where there can be multiple solutions to one problem and there is synergy with the interaction of the parts, i.e. 1 + 1 = 4! – Source: Susan Nash

Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) in the Philippines

President Benigno S. Aquino III will convene the Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) next month where they will be discussing updates on the pending proposed legislative measures and the presentation of the Philippine Development Plan.

In a radio interview over government-run radio station dzRB Radyo ng Bayan, Presidential Deputy Spokesperson Abigail Valte said that part of the agenda in the second LEDAC meeting on July 12 were the updates on the common legislative agenda and the master plan for the country’s development efforts.

“Sa akin pong pagkakaalam ay magkakaroon po ng update doon sa common legislative agenda noong mga miyembro po ng LEDAC at magkakaroon po ng presentation nung Philippine Development Plan,” Valte said.

At present, Valte said, there would be no additional proposed measures to the 19 pending bills but the council would discuss the updates on those submitted during the first LEDAC meeting held last Feb. 27.

During the first LEDAC meeting, the Chief Executive presented 22 priority bills to the members of Congress.

Among the priority bills passed by Congress since the first LEDAC meeting include the postponement of elections in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm), the Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations Act of 2011, the extension of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (Epira) and the removal of the prohibition on night work for women.
