A Learning from Information
We study. We learn. We discover things that we cannot simply acquire in our everyday life. We information system students hardly deals with information, thus right, reliable and relevant information is a must. Through this course, I learned, enlightened and understood so many things. Starting from the strategy, company direction, the vision, mission, the internal and external environment of the business and different assessment tools for the IS and for the business itself. These learning was really helpful in complying the IS planning project given to us. I was able to clearly understood the frameworks, the IS Governance and the planning process in the IS Strategic Planning. Those are not just the things I learned, I also learned things from outside the school. I experienced stepping in the real industry, where we gather information, communicate with different stakeholders and do analyzation through the combination of what we learn in the class and the assistance given by the stakeholders. Sir Emilio Macaso was a great help for us to learn things. The team members and the other classmates was helpful too, to have a better classroom ambiance which is conducive for learning.
      Without the learnings from the class given by the professor, we surely can’t comply in the course requirement. Those information is crucial not only to the course itself but to the future of us too. Even though the course comes to an end, it doesn’t mean that the learning and information also will end. This should continue not just for the sake of graduating or finishing the program but also for our everyday life. Studying strategies, vision, mission, planning process and others is not exclusive for the business and Information Technology only. It is applicable in our everyday life and decisions in our life as well. We can simply strategize or make plans whenever we encounter things. Bryant McGill once said, “If you have a deep desire to move forward, a way is being prepared for you.” Nothing will beat a prepared and knowledgeable person. Mostly those that are ready encounters opportunity. In our case, this course is an opportunity and it is up to us to wisely use the learnings and things we get from the whole semester.
      What now? Honestly, at first I don’t know. But because of this course, I now know. I was able to know different things related to our field that will be a great help in building our future and achieving our goals. I will keep the learning not just in my notebook or in my laptop but will keep it in my heart and mind. The best learning in life stays in heart not in paper. Though keeping it in heart will let you keep outcomes in paper. What I wanted to say is a learning should not stay as a learning. It should be productively used to create different outcomes for the learning and information to be applied. Achieving one’s goals start with a learning from information.
