Beberapa waktu lalu, kita telah membahas tentang pentingnya menginjeksikan spirit kesaudagaran manakala sebuah bangsa hendak melenting menuju ranah kemakmuran. Narasi tentang kemonceran sebuah negeri dengan kata lain selalu dibentangkan oleh kisah heroisme barisan para entrepreneurnya.

masih banyak ikhtiar yang perlu dirajut untuk bisa membentangkan benih-benih kemandirian ekonomi itu dalam keseharian masyarakat kita. Beruntung kini banyak anggota masyarakat yang dengan penuh kegairahan mencoba menegakkan kembali spirit entrepeneurship itu. Salah satunya adalah sebuah komunitas yang heroik nan penuh gairah bernama Tangan Di Atas – sebuah komunitas yang ingin menegakkan sebuah mimpi tentang terciptanya an entrepreneur nation.

Nama Tangan Di Atas sendiri diracik lantaran para anggotanya berniat untuk menjadi insan yang memiliki tangan diatas – maksudnya ingin menjadi insan yang senantiasa bisa menciptakan dan memberikan pekerjaan bagi sesama; dan tidak selamanya menjadi TDB (tangan dibawah) – maksudnya setiap bulan masih menerima gaji. TDA juga berarti ingin menjadi insan yang mandiri secara ekonomi dan finansial; dan pada ujungnya senantiasa ingin menjadi insan yang bisa menebarkan rahmat dan kemuliaan bagi sesama.

HOLISTIC APPROACH AND START-TO-FINISH PROCESS

People Management that places the HR not as an object but as a subject have become the new paradigm in managing HR. Basically, this new paradigm introduces a people-based management. Managing people is not only as a human resource, but as a whole human being who holds its importance, uniqueness, expectation and demand. Currently, the HR management requires a holistic approach through a continuous process, and the purpose of companys strategy and hope or expectation the HR holds must be synergic. THE JAKARTA CONSULTING GROUP (JCG) offers the holistic approach using a start-to-finish process of the HR management.

THE JAKARTA CONSULTING GROUP (JCG) HRM FRAMEWORK

JCG develops and offers the framework for the human resource management which is known as The JCGs Cycle of H-R Management Activities just as shown below.

This framework illustrates a holistic approach and a start-to-finish process of the HR management using eight HR management activities or main initiations with three supporting enablers. It also depicts that the eight activities are derived from a strategic plan where the management actitivites begin with human resource planning as the descendent of the whole strategic corporate planning. The eight management actitives are: human resource planning; recruitment, selection & placement; integration; training & development; performance appraisal & potential assessment, compensation & benefit; retaining; and separation & termination. The three enablers that are shown in this framework are corporate cultures, human resource information system and industrial relations. Certainly, all of these management actitivites must include administration, budgeting, and reliable internal communication.

PEOPLE MANAGEMENT: CONFIRMING YOUR EXECUTIVES AS ASSETS AND NOT LIABILITY

Business environment that is continuously changing, followed by changes of values and employement demography requires a more sophisticated human resource management and a modernized business practice. Human resource management needs art, knowledge (and skill), and talent. Managing people is generally a process of how to bring out the best in people.

In the new paradigm, managing people is integral and a start-to-finish process that is guided by the corporate strategy. THE JAKARTA CONSULTING GROUP as the PARTNER IN CHANGE has the ability and offers corporate consultation, learning session, and seminar to answer some challenges and find the solutions to the problems in people management the company must face in managing human resources accordingly to the slogan The success of finding solutions and coping with business challenges in managing people will bring out the best in people.

PROFESSIONAL IMAGE

In order to aid career development, he/she also requires the ability to project professional image and self-confidence in various environments and business situations. This ability is gained through learning and on-hand experience that includes personality enhancement, communication in action, business entertainment and dressing for image. The JCG has the expertise in implementing the Professional Image Program to companies that wish to improve their companys image through their representing employees. Personal representation that is professional and follows business ethics will radiate the image of the individual as well as the image and the reputation of the represented institution.

An organization must adapt towards environmental demands through modification and expansion this can be classified as planned change. Change must be planned and managed (managing planned change) if change is intended as tool to improve the company and as the medium for adaption.

WHY MANAGING PLANNED CHANGE?

Change may be caused by external factors (external change drivers) or by internal factors (internal change drivers). Every change is a threat to the organization because it changes habit, presents new materials, and also creates uncertainties. This can lead to resistance. It must be realized that conducting change (change awareness) has to be implemented into all layers of the organization through a change awareness program.

Change is a mastering process, a transition from an existing equilibrium to a new equilibrium. Without this awareness, the change program will become stagnant, because the commitment to change is fragile. High commitment to change is needed, especially to manage the anxiety.

Negeri ini masih sangat kekurangan entrepreneur. Dibalik beragam liputan tentang seribu satu sosok enterpreneur, negeri ini ternyata masih sangat sedikit memiliki kaum wirausaha. Data terkini menunjukkan angka populasi entreprenuer di negeri ini hanya 0,18 % dari total penduduk, atau hanya sekitar 400,000 orang. Sebuah jumlah yang terlalu sedikit untuk sebuah negara dengan penduduk lebih dari 200 juta jiwa.

Padahal, kisah kemonceran sebuah bangsa selalu dilentikkan oleh kisah heroisme para entrepreneurnya. Mereka membangun bisnis dari nol, mendedahkan cerita legendaris, dan kemudian menancapkan jejak yang amat kokoh dalam sejarah ekonomi dunia. Amerika akan selalu dikenang karena mereka memiliki Henry Ford, Bill Gates, ataupun Lary Page & Sergei Brin (pendiri Google). Jepang menjadi legenda lantaran kisah Akio Morita (pendiri Sony), Soichiro Honda dan Konosuke Matshushita (Panasonic).

Minggu lalu saya menghabiskan banyak waktu untuk menonton InternetTV. Acara yang saya tonton adalah sebuah event historis konvensi Partai Demokrat AS yang berlangsung di Denver, Colorado, dan berpuncak pada pengukuhan Barack Obama, sebagai calon presiden kulit hitam pertama dalam sejarah panjang politik Amerika. Saya menyaksikan acara ini bukan saja karena aspek politik-nya, namun terutama karena ingin belajar mengenai ketrampilan public speaking kelas dunia.

Tak pelak dalam acara yang berlangsung selama 4 hari itu, telah tampil puluhan tokoh dengan beragam pidato yang memukau. Namun dua bintang menyeruak, menampilkan parade publick speaking yang sangat mengesankan. Yang pertama, tentu saja Barack Obama sendiri. Dan yang kedua adalah Hillary Clinton. Kedua ikon Amerika ini, dengan gayanya masing-masing, telah memberikan sebuah pelajaran yang sungguh sangat berharga mengenai apa itu makna world-class public speaking.
