Globe Business, a unit of Globe Telecom, seeks to inspire collaboration among industries and businesses through its recent Leadership Innovation Forum or Lead-In 2022.
With the theme "Synergy: Building Ecosystems from Within," the event encouraged openness and was attended by industry leaders including CEOs and other C-level executives, directors, managers, and other employees in management positions from leading enterprises in the country.
Globe Business seeks the transformation into thriving ecosystems for them to achieve their goals and those of their partners and the society as a whole. This, in turn, will help boost the country's economic growth.
"We recognize that great things come from small sparks. Synergy becomes second nature to everyone in an organization, forging unique, advantageous partnerships outside of them. This Lead-In is an opportunity to reach out, engage, and network. Partnerships initiated here can lead to benefits not only for business but the society at large," Globe chief commercial officer Issa Guevarra-Cabreira said in her opening remarks.
Symbiosis in business
World-renowned local and international speakers took part in the event, led by Dr. Christian Busch, best-selling author and professor at New York University, who gave the keynote address.
Busch focused on why a culture of symbiosis and synergy allows everyone to prosper. The talk emphasized the need for enterprises to embrace ecosystems within their businesses and with other companies.
"Creating a culture of synergy makes it far more likely that we are able to see value in the unexpected. If we go alone, we can go fast. But if we go together, we can go farther. The unexpected can be a source of innovation, of joy, of partnerships, but only if we design our ecosystems, companies and mindsets that way," he said.
Aileen Jiao, president and country general manager of IBM PH, talked about empowering teams by cultivating and nurturing a culture of ecosystem thinking and collaboration.
Jiao stressed the importance of co-creation and having an ecosystem in place to come together.
For his part, Don Rae, Senior Advisor for Globe Business, Enterprise Group, emphasized the need to find partners with shared values and to work together to address larger issues and pain points.
