The University of Rizal System is expected to generate revenues. As such, it is necessary to find the resources and flexibility to meet the needs of its clientele and other stakeholders.
In order to realize the said venture, the Production Services team inked their target programs and projects that will shape up the levers which will reason the presence of additional income and funds for the University of Rizal System.
As a head start, Dr. Leo C. Rio, Director for Production, primed a consultative meeting with the Vice-President for RDEP and Campus Heads for Production.
It was gratifying to note that the consultative meeting held last August 12, 2020, via Google meet opened opportunities for the former production focal persons and the newbies to set anew with distinct perspectives on how each one campus should start and prosper; and encourage one another to formulate and reformulate concepts for the potential signature product for each campus considering existing and potential tie-ups and support from LGU and DTI.
Director Rio presented the One Campus One Product advocacy dubbed as OCOP. His highlights on the objectives and parameters as well as on the requirements prior to the implementation were well understood and commended by the Campus Heads for production. Despite some apprehensions due to the Pandemic situation and that mobility is restricted by health and safety protocols, they have given their commitment to support the advocacy project and even raised the banner of their respective campuses in terms of producing not just signature products but products that are worthy for patenting, product registration, technology transfer, and commercialization.
It was initially settled and agreed upon that each campus shall undergo research activity before they are allowed to conduct production-related undertaking. Initial fund support from the University as vouched by the members of the University Executive Committee will be allocated to campuses that underwent concept/ research/ business plan presentation where the product development specifics are presented and evaluated during the Agency In-House Review.
Early on, a Webinar on Writing a Feasibility Study and Business Plan was conducted on August 20, 2020, with Dr. Joanne S, Concepcion, Dean, College of Business in URS-Binangonan, as the resource speaker.
An upshot was established on September 22, 2020, after the individual coaching cum evaluation by Dr. Niclie L. Tiratira, Director for Research, on the preparedness of the submitted capsule proposals of Campus Directors and Campus Heads for Production for the One Campus One Product Advocacy project which are for presentation during the 1st Agency In-House Review of Full Blown Research Proposals.
