HR/HC, Digitalization, and the Rise of Useless (or better use Precariat) Class
Spending few hours in Senayan area yesterday, I had a very nice discussion with an HR leader, in which she asked my opinion on digitalization of HR and work in general. She started with this question: “Do you believe that digitalization is the right thing for the future of HR (and work)?”. I mean, yeah,…
A Short Note: Learning in Difficult Situations
Can we undo what we’ve done in the past? An obvious answer: no. Yet we can do something else for now and in the future. We made mistakes – or maybe because only we put them into several contexts, they became mistakes. And obviously we only could take some learning points from those. The question…
Adding the ‘Fun’ Element (into Your Workplace)

I know lots of companies and organizations offer their employees such ‘fun workplaces’ with various facilities (game-center,…
A Short Note: We Always Can Choose – and Have to Choose …
It’s a classic topic. Yet I think will always be relevant if we believe that life is a chain of decisions on what we chose to think, to see, to feel, and to do. Although sometimes it seems like we don’t have any choice – it’s still actually a choice: whether to accept ‘that only…

Accomplishing the Three Peaks Challenge
At the end of July 2018, my pals and I decided to close our master study by doing three peaks challenge. The mission is to reach the highest peaks in England (Scaffel Pike), Wales (Snowdonia), and Scotland (Ben Nevis) in 3 days. The ‘real’ three peaks challenge is actually by reaching those 3 peaks in…
5 Alasan Orang Balik ke Organisasi/Perusahaan Lamanya
Banyak bahasan yang saya sempat baca di timeline atau LinkedIn, fokusnya ke kenapa orang resign atau kenapa orang bertahan di sebuah organisasi/perusahaan. Kayaknya menarik juga kalau ngobrolin kenapa orang balik lagi ke organisasi/perusahaan lama setelah sebelumnya memutuskan untuk resign karena berbagai faktor. Nah, karena penasaran apa yang kira-kira bikin orang memutuskan untuk kembali ke organisasi/perusahaan…
Starting your study in Manchester this year? Here are some info ….
I received quite significant number of questions related to arrival and preparation to study in Manchester from international student candidates through my social medias. I understand that the university through their admission office has also provided some information, yet possibly they want to explore or to listen to stories from the student who really did…
