Our EngagementsTEAM LEARNING AND TEAM BUILDING SERVICES Starting in early 2004, the Malampaya Multipartite Monitoring Team (MMT) engaged CCLFI.Philippines to provide training in team learning towards greater capacity for continuous learning and work effectiveness of the Palawan Sectoral Monitoring Team (SMT), the Batangas SMT and the Executive Committee (Execom). Other objectives were to elicit and document useful lessons learned, and to develop work procedures and work templates for the Mindoro SMT that was being planned to be established. After the first engagement, CCLFI was again engaged for Phase 2, among the objectives of which was to facilitate the participatory documentation of a Learning-Oriented Manual. The manual featured the K-Loop or the knowledge or learning loop, a process for embedding learning in MMT operations. As a result, the Malampaya MMT has become less vulnerable to loss of knowledge resulting from the frequent changes in its membership. The learning orientation and procedures installed helped in making continuous learning and documentation a habit in the team, towards their vision of becoming a "living and learning organization" as envisioned by its Execom. The Malampaya MMT's Learning-Oriented Manual was awarded the "Best Manual of Operations" during the Second MMT Convention organized by the Environmental Management Bureau, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Philippines, in the year 2009. With efficient processes in place, the Malampaya team also won the "Best in Planning and Financial Administration" award. Some of the participants’ comments during the engagement were: “I learned that learning can be tremendously fun… the atmosphere becomes conducive if you have fun while learning.” “The process, the flow, the sequence of events were very well placed and very appropriate that even the games brought us to higher levels of interaction.” “Here, we are taught to take notice of those that are not usually taken notice of in the ordinary course of thinking.” “I passed through the `unlearning’ stage, then the `learning’ stage, then perhaps it may be more than this, but the end of it is the ‘appreciation’ stage.” “The exchange of ideas went very well. I would call it an awakening.” KM services provided: Training in how to conduct a Lessons-Learned Meeting
