Empati dan Etika Bisnis

04:48 AM @Maxx Coffee

St Hall, Bandung. A massive shout out to your service and empathy. Kebanggaan saya bertambah pada @maxxcofee yang telah menanamkan budaya empati dan pelayanan tinggi pada konsumen. Seperti biasa pesan kopi favorit Melaka Brulee di sini. Selalu menyempatkan mampir meskipun kadang² ga perlu juga sih.

 

Biasanya kalau pesan menu ini tidak pernah ada tambahan/campuran apapun. Lihat, tunjuk, pesan, bayar, done. Tapi kali ini tumben saya ditawari akang-akang pramukopi (read: Barrister). “Bapak mau pakai tambahan xxxx?”, tawarnya sambil menyebut beberapa pilihan tambahan. Yang teringat hanya Almond Milk. Ga terpikir apa-apa terhadap tambahan ini. “Wah, keren ada layanan ekstra!”, gumam saya dalam hati. Tanpa berpikir panjang langsung saya pilih almond milk. Singkatnya kopipun dibayar, pakai QRIS. Yang terpikir bersiap bayar Rp 67.000. Ternyata angka yg muncul di mesin scan Rp 85.000. Disini sempat bingung, kok jadi mahal ya harganya, padahal di display yang tertera adalah harga yang biasa saya bayar. Masih mencoba prasangka baik, mungkin ini komponen VAT plus FnB taxes. Tapi tetep Rp 18.000 kok kerasa gede ya haha…
Penasaran, akhirnya saya tanya. Benar saja, there’s no such thing like free sate padang!. Selisih harga ini ternyata harga tambahan almond milk itu. Segera saya protes, ga pake teriak-teriak bawa bendera partai tentunya.
“Kang, kenapa ga dikasih tau ti heula (read: sebelumnya) kalau ada extra charge. Saya langganan, biasa ke sini ga pernah ada info”. Dan seterusnya saya menyampaikan keberatan saya.Mulai merasakan komunikasi yang tidak romantis lagi, akang pramukopi menjelaskan bahwa harganya tertera di bagian lain dari display. Benar ternyata, harganya ada di sisi lain papan display harga. Bedanya informasi harga-harga tambahan ini ditempatkan berdempetan, daaaaan akang pramukopi tidak menginformasikan dengan jelas bahwa sebuah tambahan akan datang bersamanya harga tambahan. Untuk konsumen lugu dan perlu bimbingan seperti saya, tentu suatu praktik bisnjs yang baik dan beretika jika sebuah varian baru perlu dipastikan bahwa pelanggan notice, terlepas dari kelalaian saya sebagai pembeli untuk scanning melototin semua harga-harga yang tertera. I don’t know, perhaps this is a proper example that empathy serves as one of the foundations of every business practice.
Dilalah keberatan saya didengar. Sang akang pramukopi memberitahu bahwa almond milknya akan diberikan gratis dan mengembalikan uang selisih secara tunai. Tidak terdengar kandungan kata-kata yang bersungut-sungut dari si akang pramukopi. Terkejutnya saya, sekaligus terharu dan senang. Saya yakin ini bukan hanya faktor dari kesolehan individu si akang pramukopi saja, tapi pasti juga hasil tempaan manajemen untuk menanamkan budaya berbisnis yang beretika yang selalu mencoba menempatkan diri pada situasi sosial seorang pelanggan. Hal ini mahal, mahal sekali di mata pelanggan, terlebih returning customer seperti saya (meski cuma beli kopi doang hehe). Perlakuan seperti efeknya menyentuh hati, dan dampaknya meski tidak sekarang, saya yakin jadi kampanye tersirat gratis yang powerful karena agen² kampanyenya bukan perusahaan, tapi ekosistemnya!.
Terima kasih kang Bayu Reza Aulia sang akang pramukopi yang menjadi duta nilai etika bisnis Maxx Coffee dan menjadi guru saya untuk belajar right from the field. Proud of you and will definitely pay it forward..

Application Controls in Business Process

In ensuring the alignment of an organization’s information system risk and control, beside Entity and General Control, an organization must also strive to set application control at business process level. How do we do that?  Here is one of my paper written ( in Indonesia) for academic journal initially submitted for project completion. It’s a good idea to share it and to be able to discuss control in accounting information system context. Continue reading

When data and intelligence are all there

Pizza joke. First time it came out on the net people laughed. Many thought it was hillarious, though many of us also had a hunch that it would soon happen. When our data are all there, pretty much everywhere – not necessarily on the cloud – combined with the omnipresence of data transmission devices, it has happened.

Not only a heavenly new order for big bucks commercials, but what we are all doing is simply sending pattern to the Big Boss.  That’s when the situation is getting near to the uncanny valley plot. This comical clip is reflecting my point. Enjoy!

IT Gov OC 2b – Strategic IS Planning

Do not expect this long to continue this homework. This whole study thing has been constantly keeping me away from writing. Well, now here I am. So off we go. The current resources are the bottom half part of the original source site. What basically shown here are mostly master of information technology course materials under Muki’s time, joining with some of his other colleagues.

It’s quite a long list to repost, as the original source slotted some open course videos in which the sizes are quite huge for my blog concern. Continue reading

IT Gov OC 2a – Strategic IS Planning

We will cover a forward looking-intensive work in getting IS implementation successful, namely planning. As its name describes, however, senior managements frequently tend to play down planning and merely hand it over to their subordinates. This paradigm of seeing planning as a kind of short term task would not only undervalue the busines case of IT investments themselves, but to a greater degree, would eventually sprirrals down company’s resources due to the waste of not utilizing IT in alignment with business objective. Failing to meet such alignment, would bear a risk to companies to loose their competitiveness in long term. Continue reading

IT Gov OC 1 – IT Governance Introduction

Hi guys, this is the first part of the IT Gov. open course. As you step through the materials, you will notice that IT Governance focuses more on business and talks much about a business than IT per se. So, it’s all about business. Please read them all to give you proper basis about what IT Governance is. Oh yeah, I will state explicitly if there is a particular content that I add it by my self.

Part 1 is an Introductory discussion.

  1. About the Essence of IT Governance. The sources are partly from ITGI (IT Governance Institute) and the other part is sourced from Strategies for IT Governance by van Grembergen and de Haes, scholars in IT Governance University of Antwerpen Management School (UAMS).
  2. Corporate Governance. Briefly discusses the relationship between IT Governance and Corporate Governance
  3. IT Governance according Weill&Ross, from  Centre for Information Systems Research (CISR), MIT Sloan.

  19. Muki’s dissertation  about  IT Governance in BUMN. Entitled IT Governance Maturity at Indonesian State Owned Enterprises: Contingent Factors & Impacts. I salute you for this!. Sneak peak:
    • number of drivers (pressures) relates with IT Governance maturity
    • number of enablers associates with IT Governance maturity
    • number of inhibitors has nothing to do with IT Governance maturity
    • IT Governance has a positive effect on how value of IT investment is being felt in the organization
    • IT Governance has an association with bottom line company performance
    • IT Governance has (unfortunately) no association (or weak) with IT Risks
  20. Survey of IT Governance Control Objective Maturity, based on COBIT ME4 – Provide IT Governance. In Indonesia, easy to use and comprehend.
  21. ITIL version 3. From an official source, only selected the most important ones due to the large repository of books. Indonesia slides are also available.

That is it. I am thinking to give it in Indonesia to make the readers more effectively grasp the idea transfer process. Tell me what you think. Happy reading and keep sharing alive.

Ketahanan Ekonomi Digital Indonesia 2023 [ID]

I wrote it with my student Wina Aprilianisa

Pendahuluan

Komputasi dan digitalisasi telah memengaruhi kemajuan sistem ekonomi peradaban yang sangat jauh menembus interaksi sosial dan kehidupan. Sebelum era informasi, standar hidup relatif landai, hingga era informasi terjadi peningkatan kesejahteraan 30 kali lipat (Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2011). Teknologi menjadi hal paling penting yang terjadi pada kemanusiaan dalam konteks standar hidup. Kombinasi dari penggunaan teknologi digital, hasil adopsi digitalisasi, dan mekanisme adopsinya memungkinkan hadirnya suatu inovasi digital. Inovasi digital dimaknai sebagai kombinasi teknologi digital dan mekanisme adopsinya yang mengubah proses bisnis, sifat, dan struktur bagaimana produk dan jasa dibuat dan ditawarkan, dapat menghasilkan jalur penciptaan dan pengakuan nilai baru yang disebut inovasi digital (Nambisan et al., 2017). Gambar 1 menunjukkan struktur konseptual dari inovasi digital.
