Alhamdulillah... PT Bank Muamalat Indonesia Tbk x Muamalat Institute are active in pursuing the development of an ecosystem that enables students to connect & communicate, with trust and confidence, their knowledge, skills, competencies and learning to support their next career opportunities in the 'real' world. thus, we need a strong collaboration between University and Industry is truly essential. We felt the combined subject matter knowledge of the two streams (Uni & Industry) might highlight the need for the good learning climate and employment ecosystem, so, MIKO (Muamalat Indonesia Kompeten) is one of the solution to give an opportunity students can sharpening their skills within banking industry. We believe building on the skills/competencies aligned Uni's curriculum can creates value added to the Nation.

In 2024 if you are a knowledge worker, you have a major problem: you have a million-dollar idea but no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to persuade your boss. That’s because 97% of knowledge workers make the mistake of thinking that the right data + subject matter knowledge is enough to sway an audience and secure the buy-in. That works… until it doesn’t. Meanwhile, the other 3% know that a good answer isn’t always enough. They know how to sell their ideas with influence and conviction. They get results. Sales is everything, whether you know it or not. Choose yourself. Join the elite 3% today. CIMB / Art Of The Buy-In CIMB Academy Selangor Malaysia #traininganddevelopment #presentationskills

Venture building is a long game. 🛣️ It took Int Labs and OCBC Indonesia at least two years to conceptualise, prototype, pivot, and finally launch an edutech project in the Indonesia market. Throughout this process, these are just some key things we learned about building a new venture within a large corporate: 1. Stakeholder alignment is key ⭐️ Building a new venture challenges the DNA of a large organisation that "tends" towards BAU activities. A new venture requires complete rethinking of the kinds of value proposition we can create, team capabilities, and also ways of working. This requires real commitment from all levels in the organisation. We were grateful that in this project, we had the continuous support of the CEO of the bank, Bu Parwati Surjaudaja all the way to the committee supporting the enablement of our ideas Bu Julie Anwar, Bu Chinni, Pak Komang, Pak Amran, and also Bu Audrie. This gave the working team the psychological safety and confidence they need in taking risks and trying truly new things. 🙏🏼 Rarely did we have a chance to see the entire chain of the organisation so committed to a new venture such as this, and we believe this played a huge part to the project's success. 2. Perseverance and determination 🏃🏻 Ideas are cheap. Ultimately, the team with the best implementation wins. We had to work extremely hard, especially at the beginning, to determine the right direction and solutions to build. We ran experiments after experiments to validate our theses, and ran into dead ends many times. Ultimately, the team figured out a formula that worked and we doubled down. Huge shout out to the working team Sekar, Felia, Anandra, Dwi Intan, Jhuan for their relentless belief in the team and our vision. I believe there were literal sweat and tears in making this idea a reality, and our team at Int Labs could not be prouder of them. 🫶 3. Continuous learning 🧠 Failure is part and parcel of developing a new venture. You need more than just hard work to find that one idea that will click. Every failure is a data point that we used to inform us on our approach. We dissected each and every one of them to generate new insights. 🧐 We continuously invested in learning new skills (from marketing, to slide building, to prototyping and testing), and we were also adjust how we work as a team (especially in relation to the larger entity of a bank). This helped us iterate not just on our ideas, but on our selves and capabilities to become a "better fit" towards the problem we were trying to solve. --- I am extremely excited to see the results the team managed to achieve after all these years. Quick shoutout to the Int Labs team that made this possible: Connar, Adi, Nico, and Dimas. Congratulations to everyone involved in this project. We have achieved something truly amazing. 🫶

PIKOM commends the Malaysian government's recent initiative to consider allowing foreign students to continue employment in the country upon graduation. This forward-thinking move addresses a critical need within the digital industry, which is currently facing a significant gap in skilled talent despite the contributions of our local graduates. The digital landscape is evolving rapidly, demanding a workforce equipped with specialized knowledge and practical experience. While Malaysian universities are producing competent graduates, the industry's needs often outpace supply. This initiative allows graduating foreign students, who have already invested time and effort in understanding our market and culture, to seamlessly contribute their expertise. This not only benefits businesses struggling to find qualified personnel but also enriches the industry with diverse perspectives and talent. #malaysiadigital #digitaltalent #pikom #talentgap #edi #talentcorp Credit image from Frepik

(Opinion) I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Head of the Local Election Committee in my neighborhood (KPPS) during the February 2024 elections. To me, this role serves as a crucial test case and laboratory to assess the efficiency of the election process when overseen by relatively informed and better-educated members of the KPPS. Within my team, predominantly under the age of 45, there are 3 alumni from the University of Indonesia, 1 from ITB, and 1 from UGM, all with backgrounds in the financial sector, mining, project development, and entrepreneurship. Additionally, one member of our team holds a higher management position at one of Indonesia's major digital banking institutions. Results: 1. Despite the advantage of higher education, our work was incredibly demanding. We concluded our tasks at 3 a.m., after nearly 22 hours of continuous work. This slightly exceeds the average time spent by other TPS in our area, which typically ranges from 25 to 26 hours. 2. Additionally, the technology (sirekap) did not function well. It appears that there was inadequate stress testing before its implementation. As a conclusion: This experience has highlighted the challenges faced in areas where human resources and capacity are limited, and where technology fails to provide adequate support. It's worth noting that while this has been a rewarding experience, it has also been physically and mentally taxing. For further details: https://lnkd.in/gQTfAUDj
