Cotabato City – The recently concluded 3-day Strategic Development Plan Training Workshop, which took place at The Paragon Hotel and Restaurant from March 4-6, 2024, was a resounding success. The Commission’s technical staff engaged in a comprehensive learning experience and the skills required to develop and implement successful strategic plans for organizational growth and success.

Engr. Earl James Logarta who facilitated the activity, introductorily discussed the Principles of Strategic Plans to the group. Further, the intense training covered several facets of strategic planning in the following days, including a review of the Commission’s Vision, Mission, and Core Values; SWOT identification and analysis using Internal and External Factors Evaluation tools; and Formulation of strategic objectives and activities using different matrices.
