Values-driven course for CESO

At least 30 career executive service officers (CESO) and other third-level government officials will be attending the Aboitiz-backed Executive Course on Leadership, Innovation, Communication and Knowledge Management (CLICK), an experiential, curriculum-based development program on the “new normal” workplace environment.
A collaboration launched last 2 September 2020 among the Aboitiz Group, Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) and the National Union of Career Executive Service Officers (NUCESO), CLICK envisions to contribute towards enhancing the knowledge and competencies of CESO and advance participants’ capacity to innovate, strategically communicate and analyze information through agile work strategies as they adapt to the new normal.
“Given that public service covers a wide range of responsibilities, it really is to our collective benefit that our CESO receive the right kind of support to become even better leaders not only in their respective agencies but, more so, to the greater communities they belong to. This is especially relevant right now as the entire world grapples with COVID-19,” said Sabin M. Aboitiz, Aboitiz Group president and chief executive officer.
“It is our belief that with this tripartite agreement, we will be able to successfully deliver national competency, building initiatives to upgrade the skills and competencies of our CESO by giving them the ability not only to cope in an environment that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous but to actually thrive in it and take advantage of its nuances,” DAP president Engelbert Caronan said.
NUCESO president Atty. Lynn Danao-Moreno said the collaboration will propel their career officials to upskill and consequently effect change.
“Providing a venue to upskill our career officials through CLICK could not have been realized by NUCESO alone without the close collaboration of its two distinguished institutional members, the DAP and AEV (Aboitiz Equity Ventures). Through CLICK, NUCESO, DAP, and AEV are united to a singular cause to spark change and initiate development across all national government agencies towards nation-building and sustainable development,” Danao-Moreno said.
Aboitiz is expected to share its current best practices in various areas of management through the 40-hour program that will start in October.
