Out of the Blue

Those who aspire to govern and achieve institutional or societal goals must have the capacity to play the due role. The aspirants should have the knowledge, experience and skills to consider all factors and make appropriate decisions that should advance the best interest of the institution or society. Otherwise, the decisions made could have adverse impact on stakeholders and could lose their support.

What is constant is change, and aspirants must have the vision to take the institution or society to a higher level. They must have the intellectual capacity to strategize in creative and innovative ways so to twist dynamic challenges and turn them into opportunities that can be capitalized. They must be able to communicate the missions effectively to all stakeholders so as to harness internal and external capacity and support to accomplish them timely.

As money makes the world go around, aspirants should have the capacity to create, manage and develop both tangible and intangible assets to generate recurrent revenue streams for the institution or society. The skill set would require broad and deep knowledge and experience on property and intellectual property fronts, from the supply and demand perspectives, at the institutional or societal level, locally and internationally. World class institutions or societies do not come out of the blue.
