MCC Plans Ahead: A Culture of Care at its Core
Embracing its identity as a community college, Mabalacat City College held its 3-week institutional planning. MCC President Michelle Aguilar-Ong’s only directive is to develop objectives, decide on outputs, and plan roadmaps centered on a culture of care—a culture that a community college should have at its heart.
The planning consisted of 3 major sessions—the (1)office planning, (2)executive planning, and (3)roadmapping and score carding. During the first session, each office came up with their strategic, core and support functions, listing their planned proposed projects, programs and budget requirements.
On the second session, MCC’s executives plotted MCC’s goal position and impact, taking into consideration its vision and mission. Then they identified MCC’s core and support processes, enhanced its strategic change agenda per process, and eventually improved its planned outputs, outcomes and impacts. On the second day, the executives lobbied their proposals. But with limited resources on hand, they identified priority projects and programs that will best achieve its position at the forefront of human development.
On the third session, roadmaps and scorecards were developed per office, with the community college framework in mind. After a week of revisioning and recalibrating, MCC is now ready to present its position map, road maps and scorecards to the Institute of Solidarity Asia, scheduled this February.
A lot of exciting things are coming your way, Mabalacat City. If you thought MCC has already pushed its limits, you thought wrong. MCC is just beginning.
