The bustling world of technology shifts to another year as 2021 closes with a full plate of opportunities. Piles of year worth of projects had been rolled out. To keep with the pacing, Macrologic conducts its yearly business planning, gathering each business unit (BU) heads to discuss their department’s 2021 business goal review, the shifting to 2022 business goals, objectives of the team, strategies to compose, analysis of challenges currently faced, and assistance that would be needed from the management.
The planning was a two-day event, with day one being a different take on its usual formal corporate method. Resorting to a workshop instead, different activities were laid out, all intended to surprise the BU heads. It was a humbling new take at the company and a collaborative one as each were able to get a glimpse of how departments take on pressures and difficulties, how they honor the company, its vision and mission, and future growth.
The second day was conducted more formally, each BU head taking on the opportunity to present a couple of plans FY22, kickstarting with the management positioning each with the common goal of growing the MIaaS collaboration with partners, development of properties that will house variety of opportunities (commercialization and expansion of data center) and setting of timelines for completion of compliances with the main objective of being ISO certified by the end of the year.
Macrologic aims to build something much bigger than it is today and this has already been set in the year 2020 as a 10-year journey for the company.
The management had examined possibilities with the number of resources and assets Macrologic continuously convene each year to keep the ball rolling with its 10-year journey which consists of: Establishment of offices in the key cities (Davao, Bicol, CDO, Subic) by the end of Y2025, transfer of Mandaluyong office in Makati City with the company owned office space; Macrologic Business Centre by Y2024 to Y2025, development of Amadeo Property to establish commercial areas and technology hub, and most of all, to imprint MIaaS Cloud Services in the international market.
With this, aligned were the plans for 2022 such as to achieve the annual sales target, maintain and grow partnership levels, branch openings, the revamping and rebranding of the company, and integration of system to push automation within its departmental processes. These plans were followed through by last year’s goals and achievements, imprinting the changes early in its 10-year journey.
Different measures were taken into consideration with each points mentioned, such as the challenges of each BU to align their objectives to meet the targets of the company for as the business grows, challenges in management can be crucial and with this expansion, the demand for manpower and proper direction is essential.
All in all, with the conclusion of having each adversity addressed, the planning was driven with one common intent of navigating the steep yet gratifying expedition of the company.
