Batik Day

On October 2nd, Indonesian people celebrate the Batik Day, wearing colourful batik in our daily activities, to strengthen our commitment to our cultural heritage and creative economy driver. Here we are, the Synergy team of Telkom Indonesia.

We should declare another day for Tenun Day, one day.

Q4 Planning

The 1st day of Q4/2024, my small team had a lunch meeting to explore the situation of the Q4 with obviously-increasing uncertainties and economic slowdowns. Well-developed ecosystem-based business will be expanded with more channels and selected strategic partners, while slowly-developed business will be temporarily repositioned as less- or non-customisable solutions to sell directly.

TEMSCON 2024 — Panel Discussion

Panel session at the IEEE TEMSCON 2024, presenting Marc Schlichtner as speaker, Robert Bierwolf as moderator, and Alexander Brem, Anna Tyshetskaya, and yours truly as panelists. The topic was “accelerating innovation for sustainable future”. We discussed the role of digital transformations in business & societal innovations, both in so-called developed & developing nations, maximising strategic collaborations to overcome the uncertainties, share capabilities & risks, gain market development momenta, and create optimal values through emergence effects of ecosystems. Again, an honour for me to be placed among the giants in Technology & Engineering Management world.

TEMSCON — Keynote Speech

The IEEE TEMSCON 2024 have a special day for Industry forum, with some speakers anchoring panel discussions. Yours truly was appointed as one of the keynote speakers, presenting Complexity Theory in the form of Complex Adaptive System to Ecosystem-based business strategy. Happily I got exciting praises & feedbacks from “the giants” (as is Newton’s “standing on the shoulders of the giants”). Will tell in detail in my other blog (https://kuncoro.com). You can also visit my web on Complexity at https://complexity.center.

I had also some exciting talk with two vice rectors of ITS, i.e. Prof Agus Hatta and Prof Imam Baihaqi. They invited to explore this matter in depth with ITS team sometimes in Surabaya. My pleasure, Profs.

Quantum Methods

I attended a seminar by FEB UI featuring Agung Trisetyarso and Fithra Faisal Hariadi. They talked about using quantum methods, like quantum states and Dirac notation, to analyze complex systems in economics and social sciences. It’s a fresh approach that handles uncertainty, interdependence, and multidimensional data, offering new ways to look at decision-making, preferences, and network dynamics. Quantum concepts like superposition (multiple things happening at once) and entanglement (interconnectedness) can model tricky situations, like ambiguous market behaviors or social interdependencies, where traditional methods fall short.

What really caught my interest was how these methods could help manage economic uncertainty and complexity in strategies. They’re great for capturing the nuances of ecosystems and making sense of things like conflicting choices or market volatility. I’m excited to learn more and explore how this could improve strategic planning.
