World-Class Innovation Leaders
In time for the 10th anniversary of Spark*: The Ayala Group Innovation Summit held on November 21, the Global Innovation Management Institute recognized three Ayala companies for demonstrating innovation leadership in strategy, capacity, discipline, and portfolio. The US-based nonprofit standard certification board awarded Ayala Corporation, Globe Telecom, and Bank of the Philippine Islands their Level 3 Proficient certifications.
Speaking for Globe, Kickstart Ventures President Minette Navarette underscored the importance of collaboration. “We’re happy to receive the award within the context of Spark*10, because we’re reminded that, especially in times like this, there’s wonder and magic and power in being part of the Ayala group and knowing that we can work with a whole range of partners and affiliates across the many industries that we participate in.”
BPI Head of Consumer Banking Ginbee Go dedicated the certification to the bank’s customers, noting, “We are humbled by the fact that despite our age and despite the history, we continue to innovate.”
