CORPORATE PLANNING

We were just through with our two-day office planning session. It has been quite an interesting experience. We evaluated our previous year's performance, identified our strengths, pinpointed our weaknesses, and mapped out our plans for next year. The activity was not that easy though. We got bogged down with some issues relating to the new performance evaluation system being adopted in the office. More particularly, much of our time went into deciphering the procedures for accomplishing the new performance evaluation system being adopted in the office. Truth be told, the process was a bit cumbersome and time-consuming compared to the old evaluation system.

Well, as the cliche goes, a new idea springs forth with tremendous birth pains. Perhaps, that is what we underwent during the corporate planning session. Nevertheless, we were hopeful still that come next year, we would be able to effectively hurdle the seeming complexities presented by the new system. It may take some getting used to but eventually it will turn out to be second nature for us all.
