BAROTAC NUEVO, Iloilo – “As we move forward, we must live in a VUCA world. This word means V for Volatility, U for Uncertainty, C for Complexity, and A for Ambiguity. Being volatile means you are accountable to rapid change that may occur; next is you are ready for what is uncertain ahead; then, you need to prepare for what may complicate; and lastly, you are vulnerable to any clarifications,” Mary Ann A. Ramos, ATI Region 6’s Center Director, opens the FY 2024 Operational Planning and FY 2025 Plans and Budget Proposal Preparation with all attending ATI Staff on January 24-26, 2024 in INA Farmers Learning Site & Agri-Farm Inc.
The first day begins with presenting the FY 2023 Physical and Financial Performances and Accomplishments to the participants on the first day of the activity.
