ROADMAP 2023-2025
100,000 Filipino Innovators by 2023
Ni2 is the National Innovators Initiative to relentlessly advance Filipino Innovation so as to be accessible to everyday Filipinos – a force every one of us can apply to everyday challenges we encounter at work, in business, in life.
Where we envision Filipino Innovation as fast, agile, resource-friendly and crafty problem-solving with a heart (fueled by empathy, compassion and love) and especially relevant to the challenges and opportunities endemic to our 7,100 islands and 100,000,000 citizens.
Where we nurture Filipino Innovation as a national grassroots initiative with a special focus on empowering SME entrepreneurs, career professionals and Filipino youth to thrive and succeed in the Future of work, of learning, of impact.
Where we pursue Filipino Innovation as a multi-sector collaboration involving the private sector, educational institutions, national government and LGUs, and socio-civic organizations.

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 100K Accelerator 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.

As with every flight, this one leads to a gate that leads to our ultimate destination.
Except in this flight, you get to choose your own gate. Which one will it be? In the next 90 minutes we’ll help you find the gate that fits you best, depending on how you define success and impact.
Time to hear from our passengers – because every flight ultimately begins with you and your desired destinations…

A Journey With Others, For Others
Another view
Connecting Flights Whatever gate we chose... 
We all walk into the same reality...
The same relentless, unforgiving VUCA world....
Which brings us to today… 
Now that we mapped our destination, route and fuel…
It’s time to jump into the vehicle that will accelerate us in 30-, 60-, 90-day cycles!
Sure, we can each do this by ourselves – but we’d lose out on what makes all of it special: we are 100x infinitely stronger together than on our own.
That’s why we architected Ni2 to be an All-In-One Accelerator:
Who else will we meet…
How will our superpowers connect…
What wicked problems will we fight as one…
How will we push each other to newer heights…
What impossibilities will we conquer…
Remember the O/S that ignites the Winnovator in you?
You can’t win on your own – not as an individual, not as a team, not as a company.
At Ignite, we know these to be true:
First, that I am gifted with my own Genius –
unique, unrepeated and unrepeatable
for all time.
Second, that my singular Genius bears
the thumbprint of Who I Am and Why I am Here.
Genius points to Purpose, Purpose to Genius.
Third, that I can only give out
of what I have been given.
And what I have been given,
I must give and live for others.
Genius finds its fullness in Service –
a Purpose bigger than self.
Fourth, that if I am honest and brave,
my Genius and Purpose will find
their manifest call in a shared Mission –
with others, for others.
A Mission rooted in finding
that particular slice of humanity
whose particular pains
I am particularly gifted
(and compelled!) to heal.
Fifth, that shared Mission
leads naturally to Collaboration.
Shared Mission demands
Shared Genius: mine, yours, ours.
If we are a collection of our own Genius –
each unique, unrepeated, unrepeatable –
where then can we go, but to Innovation.
We Ignite, therefore, not just for self,
but for each other.
Because what we are born to do,
we are born to do with others
and for others.
We need each other’s Genius.
And far beyond Genius,
we need each other to be on this journey,
to fulfill this necessary progression:
from a sense of our own individual
Genius, Purpose, and Service (GPS)
toward shared Mission and Collaboration,
and ultimately, to Innovation and Impact.
This is the path of transcendence.
This is how we lift each other
to heights we never in our wildest dreams,
or loftiest ambitions, dared.
