Prioritize Like A CEO Masterclass

(Makati City) As a CEO or business owner, when was the last time your strategic plan survived the entire quarter? Be honest. You held the planning session—maybe somewhere nice, with a whiteboard and good coffee. You wrote down the goals. Everyone agreed. Then the quarter started. A supplier stopped responding. A key employee resigned. A client demanded something urgent. Before long, that beautiful plan became another file nobody opened again. I’ve watched this happen in hundreds of Filipino SMEs. I’ve experienced it myself. After 25 years in business process improvement and digital transformation, here’s what I’ve learned: Most small businesses don’t have a planning problem. They have an execution problem. The plan is fine. What’s missing is the machine that runs it: Who owns each priority? When will progress be reviewed? What happens when someone falls behind? How does work move from your head into your team’s hands? How can AI reduce repetitive work without removing human judgment? That’s project management—and almost nobody teaches it to SME owners in a language that makes sense for a retail store, restaurant, construction firm, or service business. So I built a workshop that does. PRIORITIZE LIKE A CEO 2-Day In-Person Masterclass 🗓️ October 8–9, 2026—Thursday and Friday ⏰ 9:00 AM–4:00 PM 📍 Spaceport Makati, Legazpi Village DAY 1—Build the operator before you build the plan You can’t consistently run a system your brain refuses to follow. We begin with a live Big Five personality assessment and interpret your profile in plain language. Then, you’ll audit your last full workweek hour by hour to identify where your time, attention, and energy are being lost. You’ll leave Day 1 with a one-page personal operating system and your task management tool configured and ready to use. DAY 2—Build the plan and the machine that executes it This is the day many business owners tell me they wish they had five years ago. Strategic Plan on a Page Map your most important goals and priorities for the next 90 days. The Delegation Matrix List, assess, and reassign the tasks that are keeping you trapped in daily operations. Agile Scrum for Non-Tech Businesses Learn how to use sprints, stand-ups, and retrospectives in a practical SME environment—not just inside software teams. Decision-Making Frameworks Develop a clearer process for making high-stakes decisions under pressure. Your Leadership Playbook Build daily, weekly, and monthly routines that keep the business moving—even when you’re not in the room. AI-Powered Execution Workflows Learn how to use ChatGPT Work and Claude to: Convert your 90-day plan into project briefs, tasks, and next actions Create clearer instructions and deliverables for delegated work Summarize updates and identify priorities, risks, and blockers Draft reports, SOPs, follow-ups, and routine email replies faster Build reusable AI workflows for planning, research, and communication Decide what to handle personally, delegate to your team, or accelerate with AI Commitment Round Declare your first 30 days of execution in front of fellow business owners and leaders. You don’t just take notes here. You build. WHAT YOU’LL WALK OUT WITH: ✔ A one-page 90-day strategic execution plan ✔ A delegation matrix that helps remove you as the bottleneck ✔ A working sprint and review rhythm for your team ✔ Your Big Five personality profile ✔ A productivity system designed around how you work ✔ Practical ChatGPT Work and Claude workflows ✔ Reusable AI prompts for planning, delegation, reporting, and communication ✔ Lifetime access to the Prioritize Like a CEO digital course ✔ Free lifetime access to the task management tool configured during the workshop ✔ A one-hour one-on-one call with me 30 days after the workshop ✔ Certificate of completion, lunch, and snacks on both days ✔ A room full of business owners working through the same execution challenges AI won’t fix a broken execution system by itself. But when combined with clear priorities, strong delegation, and consistent review rhythms, it can help your team move faster while you stay focused on the decisions only you can make. Price goes up soon. A plan without a system is just a wish with a deadline. Two days. One room. Let’s build the machine—and the AI-supported workflows—that make your plan happen. 👉 Tap Learn More to reserve your seat: https://dennismhilario.com/2-day-prioritize-like-a-ceo-masterclass-worksop-series/
