Sudah beberapa bulan pandemi COVID-19 di Indonesia berjalan, saya selalu berpikir kira-kira apa yang bisa saya lakukan untuk membantu.

Boxes of Thinking: What Possibly Fails Creativity and Innovation
On Sunday (Oct 27th, 2019) I attended a pre-establishment session of the Nusantara Innovation Forum (NIF) chapter Indonesia. Although the name is using ‘Nusantara’, NIF is centered in London, the United Kingdom, and was established originally around 2017.

Remember ‘Green-Washing’? These Days ‘Well-Washing’ Might Arise for Mental Health in Workplaces Issue
Thursday, October 10th was commemorated as the World Mental Health Day (read more HERE).

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.

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…
