I can promise you now, the National Innovators Initiative is not a charity, feel-good, kumbaya undertaking: it’s a nuts and bolts action-oriented, practice-heavy and data-driven way to make the world a radically better place, while giving to our businesses, our schools, our cities, our careers – in other words, Ni2 is about giving each and everyone of you a radically more successful and prosperous future full of growth and opportunity.

Ni2’s INNOVATOR SPIRIT

I CARE
I CAN
I WILL
NOTHING WILL STOP ME

Because I’ve found my answer to

Who am I?
Why am I here?

When we look at this Innovator Spirit, what does it mean for each of us?

 

If we run schools that educate human beings – what does the Innovator Spirit mean for our students and alumni, our faculty? Are we missing anything if we ignore this insight of the Innovator Spirit? What more can we do?

 

If we are running a business or a local government, if we have teams under us, tens, hundreds, thousands of employees, millions of customers and citizens we affect – what does the Innovator Spirit mean for the challenges and opportunities we face everyday? Can we have better hope if we can unleash the Innovator Spirit? What are we missing? How much more can we and our businesses and our cities be if we unleash the Innovator Spirit?

I’m telling you now; I’m guaranteeing you now and later you will meet many many individuals who are living proof that yes, the Innovator Spirit can be unleashed. And not only can it be done, it can be done at scale. And not only at scale, it can be done in 100-day cycles. So 100,000 Filipino Innovators by 2023 – we will demo this for you later, you will be the first to see how.

 

This changes everything, everything for all of us. Because some of you here will adapt this innovator spirit at scale – for your workforce and your students and alumni and faculty. And this will change everything.

Stories from INNOVATOR STORIES

52:45

“I’m Gen Z, I’m barely 23 years old, so a lot of my friends are my age as well. In terms of target stakeholder I really look at my peers as my target stakeholder, and the most common problem right now is the lack of opportunities, lack of innovation skills, lack of ways to upskill themselves, things that have to do with everyone’s career basically. Understanding my peers and myself as well, that allowed me to really immerse myself and see through everyone else’s eyes. What really are our generation’s problems? What’s missing? What can we do to improve it? How can we help — I guess it’s what really allowed me to pursue and work through a very chaotic system that we call innovation.”
Gerald Origenes
Gerald OrigenesNi2 Delta Fella (23 Yrs Old)

“Innovation to me was limited, actually in my old definition was something for product design and tech, but now it’s a broader definition, no longer limited to tangible things for me. With innovation in Ni2 I started learning that you could innovate in the way you live your life, even the way you get things done.”
Kim Balbuena
Kim BalbuenaNi2 Delta Fella (27 Yrs Old)
1:28:05

“The problem I see is that many students and graduates lack the critical thinking that is needed to take organizations to the future. We have a lot of people who can’t think critically. We need to change, we need to find innovation. There are so many people in our workforce but we can’t find innovators. We can’t find people who can find new solutions or new products that we need to drive our company into the future. The question is - how can organizations find innovators? Organizations are built to be efficient - to do processes efficiently, sometimes without even thinking. How do we drive an organization that is built for efficiency to begin to innovate?”
Jojo Concepcion
Jojo ConcepcionCEO of Concepcion Industrial Corporation

1:35:00

“In any innovation process, is the ability to ready, fire, aim. We’re accustomed to ready, aim, fire. We tell our teams to just fire, fire, fire. Don't think about it, just try it. Sometimes we try to come up with this big masterplan - that's not how you do today. Corporations are good for 5 years. No one talks about 5 year plans today. I can't even tell you what's happening a month from now or even what's happening next week. Let's forget about 5 years plans - let’s figure out how to accelerate your innovations, your learnings, your experimentation - that’s how we find clarity over the long term.”
Jojo Concepcion
Jojo ConcepcionCEO of Concepcion Industrial Corporation

“Right after graduation, I pursued professional theatre, and then when the pandemic hit, I found myself in the world of sales. Sales is a very individualistic career; all I really have is myself. Looking back in theatre, everything is a collaboration, and every performance is unique, different, and special. That is something we experience and even encourage here in Ni2, because a fresh approach is the backbone of innovation.”
Anton Peralta
Anton PeraltaNi2 Delta Fella (24 Yrs Old)

“I was a perfectionist for too long. What was getting in the way of innovating was how perfect I was trying to be, how I wanted to hash out every detail right away. I wasn’t firing, I kept trying to aim, trying to make it perfect. Now, I realize, to really innovate and make changes, I do have to test things out and get feedback, to learn and fail if I have to, in order to get closer to my goal and succeed.”
Ann Geron

“The greatest impact of Ni2 for me is that I was able to immerse myself in failure. Growing up, we didn’t want failure, but somehow because of Ni2 and this team’s campaign, we were really immersed with failure, in a sense that we had to learn from every roadblock that we’ve experienced and how we might surmount this. So failure became more of a guiding light than a sense of defeat.”
Mark Rodriguez
Mark RodriguezNi2 Delta Fella (23 Yrs Old)

“A big takeaway that we’ve gotten from this whole experience is this sense of living with more empathy and compassion. In this whole project, we’ve really been pushed and motivated to work hard on this, because we know at the end of the day, what our work does is impact the lives of people who will struggle to find a job in these times. That is something we can carry with us in our careers, that we serve others and not just ourselves.”
