Leadership Enhancement and Advancement Program (LEAP)
Workshop on Effective Implementation of Strategic Plans and Programs
Updated: 13 April 2007
The Leadership Enhancement and Advancement Program (LEAP) conducted a three-day workshop on Effective Implementation of Strategic Plans and Programs from 24 to 26 October 2006 at the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Headquarters, Manila. The workshop provided the participants with practical lessons and tools in managing organizational resources, confronting leadership challenges, and managing partnerships toward successful implementation of plans and programs in the Pacific context.
The workshop was attended by 20 senior ranking executives representing government, private sector, and civil society from seven south Pacific Developing Member Countries (PDMCs), namely: the Cook Islands, Fiji Islands, Nauru, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. The workshop participants included two state ministers, one member of Parliament, one chief executive officer of government, three presidents of private sector organizations, and four heads of non-government organizations.
The three-day workshop had an interactive mix of learning approaches, such as group work, lecture-discussion, case study, role plays, video presentation, and study visit.
Distinguished resource persons were invited to deliver presentations and facilitate discussions dealing with topics on implementation, leadership, and strategic plans and programs. They included three professors from the University of South Pacific, i.e., Dr. RD Pathak, Dr. Narendra Reddy, and Dr. Akanisi Kedrayate; the former Governor of Hawaii, George Ariyoshi; Dr. Lawrence Jones, Chair of the International Management Network; former Philippine Budget Secretary, Emilia Boncodin; and Executive Director of Gawad Kalinga (Give Care Program), Antonio Meloto.
