On December 1, 2013, staff and officers of the Baguio-Benguet Community Credit Cooperative embarked on a decisive and groundbreaking move. They convened in one of the seminar halls of the Cooperative and began a three-day session to formulate the BBCCC Medium Term Development Plan that would chart the general direction of the Cooperative over the next seven years to 2020.
They revisited the BBCCC Vision and Mission in the light of current issues and concerns and subsequently affirmed them. They recast their committees’ and departmental visions and missions to align them to the BBCCC Vision and Mission and over the next few days, they drafted new goals and objectives and formulated fresh strategies to accomplish such goals. Finally as the year ended, they devised their tactical plans, meant to set and achieve measurable and attainable targets for 2014, the first year of the medium term planning period.
This document is the final product of this historic engagement. It is meant to be the guide and schedule of the committees and the departments of the Cooperative as they strive to make the BBCCC a responsible and responsive organization not only for its members but for the nation as a whole, following a pre-set framework of programs but not imprisoned by it, led along a path illuminated by a vision but not blinded by it, and inspired by a new set of core values but not controlled by it.
