What makes an organization successful than the other? Or better yet, who are taking the lead in the line of business and public management? We often hear nowadays the line “bringing to the next level” or “bringing it to its greater heights”.
The success of an organization can always be associated in its capacity to cope up with the demand and challenge of time and the ability to bring the organization in the forefront! But bringing something on top is no joke; it needs enormous planning, clever strategies, hard work; and a leader committed to embrace developments, new insights and a leader of vision! Organizations employ strategic plan to ensure that it is on the right tract of attaining its vision and mission. Strategic Plan should always be contemporary and reflective of the demand of society. As time goes by, things have change, the demand tripled, we are now in the computer world and we need technology to answer the demand of the situation. An organization should have an Information System Strategic Plan that will cater to the needs of the organization in the performance of their duties and function and most especially to deliver effective, efficient and quality service to the Filipino people. So how do we convince management about it? If our boss is a man of vision of bringing the organization to the next level, he will be more willing to adhere to the ISSP. It may be costly; there is no doubt about it, but try to think about it, especially in government, the public is the most important visitor in our offices, why can’t we give them the service they deserve? Why don’t we give them the millions they deserve? The reality is, money or budget is not the issue here; it’s a matter of priority!
I have this gut feeling that my place, my organization will have our ISSP in the near future because my boss is visionary…we will bring our city to its greater heights!!!
