One of the major activities lined-up for this year’s celebration of the Month of Overseas Filipinos (MOF) is the conduct of the NATIONAL FORUM ON MIGRATION. This is also the culminating activity of the MOF Celebration since it is celebrated tomorrow, December 18 which is the International Migrants Day.

These services will cover psycho-social, livelihood and investment, and employment, among others.
Part of the Forum are also three MOF-related activities such as Film Showing on Migration, Cultural Show, and Awarding Ceremony for the Migration Advocacy and Media Awards.

Forbes Ranks SP Jain School of Global Management #20 in The Best International MBAs: One-Year Programs Ranking (2017-19)


For the fifth year in a row now, SP Jain School of Global Management’s (SP Jain) flagship Global MBA program has been ranked in the TOP 20 in the Forbes list of the world’s best 1-year International Full-Time MBAs.

The Forbes MBA rankings, along with Financial Times and The Economist, are amongst the most prestigious MBA rankings in the world, and SP Jain Global is the youngest school to get all three.

Forbes’ biennial ranking of the world’s best international MBA programs is based solely on the return on investment achieved by graduates. This year, the Forbes ranking compared the earnings of the Class of 2012 in their first five years post-MBA. SP Jain’s Class of 2012 reported close to a six-fold increase (2016) in salaries, from a pre-MBA salary. SP Jain has also ranked #1 in salary growth for all five years.

Campus placements are often used to measure a School’s success. However, top rankings like Forbes, Financial Times and The Economist measure graduate outcomes over a period of time. This is a superior measure of success as they consider long-term student growth, and not just starting salaries,” shares Mr. Nitish Jain, President of SP Jain School of Global Management.

“Our ranking amongst the world’s best business schools by reputed international publications is a direct reflection of how well our graduates have been able to perform. To be the youngest school in the ranking is thrilling!”

A distinctive highlight of the Global MBA program is its multi-campus model, and the School credits much of their global success to this. Dr. Indu Niranjan, Dean of the program shares, “Our goal is to train our graduates for top companies around the world. Our students have the unique benefit of studying in three cities – Singapore, Sydney and Dubai. They get to understand how to navigate and adapt in a global business environment – a skill much valued by recruiters. They undertake projects assigned by both local or global companies, interact with business leaders and thinkers, immersing themselves in different local cultures and developing important global skills. These skills, we hope will provide them the chance for personal development and better job opportunities.”

SP Jain extends their gratitude and appreciation to all corporates, faculty, staff, partners and students on this joyous event.

Accenture Acquires Clearhead To Help Brands Boost Their Digital Customer Experiences' Effectiveness

Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has acquired Clearhead, the digital optimization company, based in Austin, Texas, to strengthen the personalization services of Accenture Interactive. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
 
Clearhead helps brands continuously test, redesign and personalize digital customer experiences and digital products to optimize business outcomes. This is becoming a critical capability for companies to compete with digital native businesses that seek to improve every aspect of the customer experience through continuous experimentation and testing.

With a team of more than 70 people, Clearhead enables brands to achieve business outcomes through optimizing key digital marketing, merchandising, sales, and service experiences. Using a proprietary data-driven methodology, Clearhead determines where improving experiences and digital product features may lead to significant gains. It then sets up A/B or multivariate tests to validate these hypotheses, analyzes the results, and redesigns experiences for what works best for customers.
  
Clearhead has served over two dozen retailers and brands, including a global apparel brand for which it developed and tested simpler ways for users to create an online store account. This resulted in an almost 20% increase in account registration. For a home appliances company, Clearhead developed an online product builder and recommender which is based on data and experimentation and significantly increased order conversion rates on the client’s website.
 
“Experience is the new battleground in the digital world and brands need to continuously optimize it across the entire customer journey,” said Glen Hartman, head of Accenture Interactive North America. “At Accenture Interactive, we’re laser focused on creating the best customer experiences for our clients and we’re excited about Clearhead boosting our personalization business with their experimentation and personalization capabilities.”
 
“Brands are beginning to realize that experimentation is the new normal and has to be core to their culture, capabilities, and operations in order to offer engaging digital experiences,” said Jeriad Zoghby, global personalization lead, Accenture Interactive. “There’s tremendous potential in this market as some clients are looking to increase the tests they run by a factor of ten year over year. Brands are recognizing that this is the only way to compete with the experiences digital native companies provide. With Clearhead’s talent and methodology, we can help brands achieve their ambitious goals.”
 
“Clearhead and Accenture Interactive share the belief that continuous experimentation is key to providing the best digital customer experiences and digital products,” said Matty Wishnow, founder and CEO of Clearhead. “We’re excited about how Accenture Interactive works with clients, using agile tools in a collaborative environment to give them the ability to become more user-focused and nimble. Together, we will scale our optimization capabilities and add more value for brands.”
 
Clearhead’s skills in user experience solutions include Adobe Target, Oracle MaxymiserTM and Monetate. The company is also the reigning Solution Partner of the Year of Optimizely.
 
Headquartered in Austin, Clearhead also has offices in Cincinnati, Ohio and, most recently, London. Clearhead has been named one of the fastest-growing companies in Central Texas for the past two years and one of the best places to work in the region in 2016 by the Austin Business Journal.
 
The acquisition bolsters the full suite of digital customer transformation services Accenture Interactive provides to chief marketing officers and chief digital officers, from creative to technology, spanning experience design, marketing, content and commerce.
 
Clearhead is the fourteenth acquisition Accenture Interactive has made since 2013 to expand the reach, scope, and depth of its end-to-end customer experience services globally. In May, Accenture Interactive acquired e-commerce solution provider Media Hive (US) to strengthen its capabilities around Salesforce Commerce Cloud implementation. Other acquisitions in Accenture’s current fiscal year include creative agencies The Monkeys/Maud (Australia) and Karmarama (UK), communications agency Kunstmaan (Belgium), and digital agency SinnerSchrader (Germany).

DOE Pitches Energy Opportunities to ASEAN Investors

Energy Pitch: DOE Secretary Alfonso Cusi talks about the government’s energy plan before members of the Wallace Business Forum at the Rizal Ballroom of Shangri-La Hotel, Makati City on April 27, 2017.

Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Alfonso Cusi said Thursday that there is a big business opportunity in the Philippines' energy sector that investors from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) can take advantage of.

"We're inviting energy investors from ASEAN. The ASEAN summit is an opportunity for us to drum up to our neighbors that there is this development happening in the Philippines and they can participate," Cusi said after attending the closed door quarterly roundtable of the Wallace Business Forum at Shangri-la Hotel, Makati City.

Cusi said the potential business opportunity in energy is the result of the government's ambitious infrastructure program dubbed "Build Build Build."

"We're going to build the energy supply for the infrastructure," said Cusi.

"From 2016 to 2030, 17,300 megawatts is needed to support the Ambisyon 2040 development plan of the government for the Philippines. An additional power of 26,000 MW from 2030 to 2040 or a total of 43,000 MW from 2016 to 2040 is needed to support the infrastructure projects," Cusi said at the second round of Dutertenomics Forum on Wednesday, April 26, 2017.
Cusi is optimistic that investors will come in.

"The investment opportunity is open for all and the DOE will not put a cap and quota on the energy source of choice," said Cusi. "I'm sure there will be entrants, particularly those who can offer the best for the Philippines and those who can provide the supply in the cheapest and most efficient way," he concluded.
