Have tried to create this new blog to see if it can work as one of my writing tools on the web. If it really works, then I plan to make a link from my website to this blog. Yet in the meantime I should keep a simple, stream of consciousness writing so as to accustom myself to this kind of entry.

Paradigm, System, Skills and Knowledge

-
In the coaching session I've recently attended my coach told me to conduct the so-called PSSK self-assessment. While I am not familiar with the very definition of this self-assessment, hearing its concept it seems to me that I could do it by myself without knowing the details. It is a kind of self-evaluation or rating in focusing on four areas called Paradigm, System, Skills and Knowledge. At the range from 1 to 10 what I have to do is to rate my own current "score" considering 1 is the lowest: 10 could be the highest. It looks like what I used to do for the Spiral Dynamics assessment. Perhaps this is why I felt I could do it without knowing the details Thus, what I did was: 1. Created my own definitions of all 10 levels for each area. 2. Scored my current level considering such definitions. Creating totally 40 definitions (10 levels x 4 areas) was not an easy task. But somehow I was able to enjoy it. This is perhaps because doing this task alone could be part of my thoug...

Meaningful Social Actions

-
How do you understand meaningful social actions? Based on our discussions so far (from Social Reality to Institutional Knowledge to Reflexivity to Self is not Substantial ), it seems to me that there must be the more meaningful social actions than the so-called conventional social actions that can be seen everywhere in the world and mostly ideologically, ethno-religiously or materialistically involved. As we have seen, usually people tend to see the society as what is given and placed in front of them. Social actions always contain the certain intentions to change the society based on what the people believe to be better. Such intention is meaningful and must be one of the important steps to prepare the basis of civil society. In civil society everyone has a sort of public awareness that he or she has to be the member of the society; and that the conditions of the society are depending on the participation and the commitment of each member. But in this process what we have to notice...

CMMI

-
Last night after the office hours I had meeting with Mr. V. According to him, the CMMI presentation for the Japanese software company will be pushed through. While I heard it might be postponed, the company has finally decided to have the presentation on the original date, July 21. We have only less than one week for the preparation.   My role is to conduct the presentation (generic introduction) of CMMI in Japanese based on the English materials (mainly the power point slides) for the executives in that software company. This company has been in the Philippines for several years and mainly conducting the software development with Filipino employees. As explained yesterday (See " Outsourcing "), this is also one of the IT companies that tries to utilize the Filipino human resources. And now to acquire the more legitimate status, they are considering the CMMI assessment.   This company is not exactly using BPO; however, considering the fact that their company revenue h...
