Supporting the BPO Industry and Driving the Digital Transformation of Businesses in the Philippines This week, we welcome Jack Madrid to the Digitally Irresistible podcast. Jack is president and CEO of the IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP). He oversees day-to-day operations for the primary trade body and advocacy group for the IT and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) sector in the Philippines. With almost 400 member organizations, including iQor, and six partner associations, IBPAP plays a pivotal role in sustaining the growth of the IT-BPM industry by working with stakeholders in the government and academia. On this episode, we discuss the role of IBPAP and how the organization supports the BPO industry and drives digital transformation among businesses in the Philippines. A Transformative Journey to the BPO Industry After graduating from university, Jack began his career as a banker in both the Philippines and Hong Kong. That led him to a role overseeing strategic planning and business development for a Philippines-based conglomerate. His career then took an interesting turn when Jack became managing director for MTV Philippines, empowering him to reinvent himself professionally and personally. From there, he was introduced to the BPO industry in the Philippines where he recognized the future of the country and vibrant opportunities for job creation. This prompted his digital journey[BB1] in marketing, setting up operations for Yahoo Philippines. After a few years there, he set out to establish the first e-commerce marketplace in the Philippines. Several years after that, he moved to Vancouver, Canada to be with family and six years later he returned to the Philippines to lead IBPAP—15 years after his introduction to the BPO industry. How IBPAP Supports the BPO Industry in the Philippines IBPAP is the flagship association for the IT-BPM industry in the Philippines, primarily representing the industry, its members, its employers, investors who have offshored their operations in the country, and—most importantly—BPO employees. IBPAP has grown to represent 1.56 million Filipino employees in the country since the beginning of the BPO industry in the Philippines several decades ago. In fact, IBPAP represents the largest industry in the Philippines in terms of jobs and revenue, contributing nearly 8% of the country's GDP. The work and mission of IBPAP is essential for advancing continued opportunities to create jobs throughout the country. Because the Philippines is an archipelago, jobs extend beyond metro Manila and Cebu to 25 cities throughout the countryside that have their own unique characteristics and talent pools with good universities to educate future talent and further expand the BPO industry in the Philippines. The Present State of the BPO Industry in the Philippines Jack notes that the BPO industry in the Philippines is entering an exciting new chapter given the COVID-driven migration of 1+ million employees to work-at-home (WAH) and hybrid environments. When onsite operations quickly moved to work-at-home and hybrid environments while maintaining security, productivity, and customer satisfaction, the BPO industry proved it could deliver outsourced customer service success independent of location and environment for global customers spanning different time zones across verticals and industries. Jack believes the future is bright as the BPO industry in the Philippines develops more value-added services for brands across the globe. Core Strengths and Advantages of the Philippines as an IT-BPM Investment Destination Jack says the primary strength of the Philippines as an IT-BPM investment destination lies in Filipino talent. With a population of 110 million, the Philippines has the demographics and the scale to grow the IT-BPM industry even more. The Filipino workforce is world renowned for excellent communication skills, English fluency, patience, empathy, and the ability to adapt and learn new skills to resolve customer issues across different industry verticals. Talent supply will always be an advantage, but Jack recognizes the need to continue to build on that strength given the continued demand for offshoring to the Philippines. On top of that, he says the Philippines has done a great job building up the digital infrastructure and internet connectivity throughout the archipelago outside of metro Manila and Cebu. As a nation comprised of thousands of islands, each with its own unique population and talent pool, internet connectivity has improved over the years and will continue to improve in the years ahead as IBPAP works with telecom partners. Future Opportunities for the BPO Industry in the Philippines IBPAP recently launched its IT-BPM Roadmap 2028. They publish a new roadmap every six years to outline specific recommendations on how to grow the industry. The most significant part of their Roadmap 2028 is the goal to deliver an additional 1.1 million new jobs for Filipinos by the end of 2028. IBPAP will work with industry stakeholders, government partners, and the private sector to realize this vision over the next six years. The roadmap outlines the following four pillars to grow the IT-BPM industry in the Philippines. 1. Attract and retain investors by reinforcing the ease of doing business in the Philippines. 2. Cultivate an extensive and qualified talent pool. Work with the Department of Education and other partners in government to strengthen university and high school curricula and collaborate with the private sector to ensure the continued availability and employability of talent for the years ahead. Jack emphasizes that this is likely the most critical pillar. 3. Improve and strengthen digital infrastructure in the Philippines to ensure strong connectivity in in-office, at-home, and hybrid work environments throughout the archipelago. 4. Continue to strengthen the Philippines' industry positioning to meet the challenge of adding more than 1 million new jobs in six years, a goal that took over two decades to achieve in the early years of the BPO industry in the Philippines. By focusing on these four pillars, tapping into new talent pools, and continuing to strengthen the Filipinos' acceptance of the BPO industry as a long-term career path, Jack and his colleagues at IBPAP will continue to support the growth of the BPO industry and drive digital transformation among businesses in the Philippines. What Jack Does for Fun For fun, Jack's passion is studying wine. He began his studies a few years ago and now teaches others as an informal wine coach. He enjoys sharing his knowledge about the wine regions as well as the different grapes and varieties of wine. He also spends a fair amount of time analyzing wines through blind tastings. When he's not honing his wine skills, Jack enjoys playing golf and improving his short game. To learn more about Jack and IBPAP, connect with him on LinkedIn, Twitter, and the IBPAP website at www.ibpap.org. Watch the video here. Read the blog post here.

Grief is both a very individual experience as well as a universal reality. At some point in our lives, we will all lose something or someone that we hold dear to us. It will make a significant impact on who we are, how we understand the world, and how we do our work, but the thing to know about grief is that, while painful, it can ultimately lead to a deeper appreciation for life and living. In the end, this can only strengthen our resolve to lead meaningful, full lives. When we are grieving, it can be hard to put into words the wide array of emotions that we feel: regret, outrage, sadness, guilt, and helplessness among them. In times like this, it's often helpful to turn to the wise words of others who have also experienced grief — both as a means of support and a reminder that things will get easier over time. As renowned painter Henri Matisse once said, “The pain passes, but the beauty remains.” Welcome Back! On this episode of the Mission First People Always podcast, we talk with a trained Grief Recovery Specialist and longtime HR professional who will give us some excellent advice on how to help people–our most precious resource–work through these tough times. Today's guest is Kim Kerr. Presently, Kim works at Meta as a Program Manager in People Experience and leads the Jobs and Career Expectations Program. She is also a certified Grief Recovery Specialist and has a number of passions–all fueled by her heart to serve others. Kim holds a master's degree in organizational communication from the School of Communication at Northwestern University in Chicago, where she focused her research on teams and relationships and organizational effectiveness. She has completed doctoral studies at Pepperdine University's Graduate School of Education and Psychology. Kim is a lifelong learner. She holds certificates in OD Consulting from Depaul University, Change Management from LaMarsh Global, Relationship Intelligence from Core Strengths, and the Grief Recovery Method from The Grief Recovery Institute and Sunrise at Midnight.

Welcome back to the Mission First People Always Podcast! Today's episode is all about teamwork. Teamwork is a term we initially hear at a very early age. It usually happens at 5-, 6-, or 7-years old, or whenever you step onto a sports field or court for your first attempt at sports. Whether it was t-ball, soccer, basketball, or something else, there was probably a group of kids who didn't fully understand the rules or point of the game, always brimming with raw energy and bouncing off each other. While the volunteer coach keeps talking about the need to work together to score goals, score runs, and win games. Of course, we all know that it's not always easy to get little kids to work together to achieve goals. In fact, there's often more chaos than cooperation. A ball hit toward second base can often bring six or seven of the nine defensive players charging to chase it down. While one kid chases butterflies in the right field, the catcher discovers that he had to use the bathroom about that time and wanders off the field. That leaves no one to cover first base as the runner crosses the bag with great encouragement from the coach. As professionals in the workplace, we tend to do a little better, but that's not always the case. If teamwork is defined as a coordinated effort toward achieving a common goal, then there are some teams I've experienced that didn't meet the definition. As a result, performance suffered–and many weren't very satisfied with the experience. However, great leaders and great teams do better than this, and the tool that helps them is rhythm. Join today's episode as we talk with Dr. Gil Brady! Gil is the President of Nativity Preparatory Academy in San Diego and a partner at Core Strengths. He is also a wise counselor to many, a sought-after executive coach, and a keynote speaker. Listen in as Gil gives us a look into rhythm and how you can use it to get your team up and running together. In this episode, you'll learn: Why teams need rhythm That rhythm is an act of diligence How rhythm helps people balance people and performance The many benefits of team rhythm How you can do a team meeting audit to assess the status of your team's rhythm Hit play to join the conversation and upgrade your teamwork starting today!

Today my guest is Gil Brady, a leadership expert who has had a varied and fascinating journey. After serving in the military, he had a successful career in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology — and then changed careers and worked as a Junior High School Math Teacher and elementary school principal. While completing his doctorate in Executive Leadership, Gil founded Relationship Impact, a leadership development firm focused on Executive Team Development. In July of 2018, Gil began serving as the President of Nativity Prep Academy of San Diego, the county's only all-scholarship school focused on serving students from low-income situations who will be among the first generation in their family to graduate from college. Gil is also part of the leadership team at Core Strengths, a company that develops tools that help organizations build high-trust teams that deliver results through relationships. I invited Gil to the show because he knows a lot about helping leaders create a culture of curiosity — something so important in our current business world but also something that many leaders struggle to get right. We talk about the power of positive regard, leadership communication mistakes that affect culture and kill curiosity and innovation, tension, conflict, and how to make people feel seen, heard, and valued. We also explore how we have both used the Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI 2.0) assessment in our work. It was a great conversation where Gil shared a wealth of great advice. I hope you enjoy it.

From fatherlessness to false narratives to chronic stress, our nation is experiencing significant trauma during this season of history. We can find hope and healing both as individuals and a collective whole by understanding our biochemical design, our internal wiring for secure attachments and healing through the connectivity of healthy relationships. When we look at the human body and brain under the microscope, we discover a biological compass, internal cues that can create a path to freedom, to wholeness, to healing. And the more we understand our own core, the more we understand our callings and capabilities, our freedoms and our frailties. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she continues last week's discussion on patterns of systemic trauma, and discover some practical tools for moving from labels to liberation.

Hiring a head of growth and paying for Facebook ads isn't enough to scale growth. Growth is a mindset that needs to filter from the top down. On this week’s episode of This Much I Know, Matt Lerner, founder and CEO of Startup Core Strengths, joins Carlos in the studio. Prior to founding Startup Core Strengths, Matt was the London-based partner for 500 Startups, where he initiated the ‘Distro Dojo’ seed-stage growth program for the funds’ portfolio companies. Matt also had an 11-year run at PayPal where he lived through the company’s 15x hyper growth phase from progressive startup to Finch giant, culminating in him leading b2b marketing for PayPal UK. Join Carlos and Matt as they delve into the nitty gritty of why growth marketing has a negative legacy when contrasted with growth hacking for product teams, why overthinking metrics is a dangerous game to play for early stage founders and whether Eric Ries’s lean methodology of ‘build, measure, learn’ is in fact a relevant playbook for marketing teams. Matt also details the reasons behind founders mistakenly assuming they have product market fit, the key proxy metrics that pre-revenue startups should use to determine what areas to focus on and why the determinant of growth success is based on the five core pillars of - Message, Metrics Focus, Process and Team.

You have to find your own strengths and lean way into them if you want to build a successful business that’s aligned with your values, skillset, and unique offering. Our guest on this episode, Heidi Taylor, is a business coach for caring people. She combines sales and life coaching to support creative business owners and non-linear thinkers as they turn their creative output into a thriving business. We cover a lot of fascinating ground in this episode, talking about how Heidi got her start in business, how she realized she wanted to transition into a career that was client-focused, why she loves working with creative, non-linear thinkers, and how she’s built her business around her own strengths. She shares a lot of great advice about how you can (and should!) center your business around your individual strengths, and why you should spend some time thinking about who you serve best and love working with the most.
