Implementing Knowledge Management in PPSDMS

Knowledge management is not new things now. Its existing was recognized as a new discipline in 1995. However many institution, company, and organization in Indonesia could implement Knowledge Management well. Therefore it could give competitive advantage. Knowlegde Management is always related in two field ofstudy, they are Information Technology (IT) and Human Resource Development (HRD).
PPSDMS as organization that focused in Human Resource Development need to study more about Knowledge Management. Therefore PPSDMS gets the best result. In this case, competitive advantage isn’t objective of PPSDMS on implementing Knowledge Management because there is no competitor in same field like PPSDMS. But, PPSDMS must be learning organization to hold its objective and vision. It is how creates future leader according to some criteria that have been determined.
In my opinion, PPSDMS have implemented Knowledge Management but still in small scope. i.e. asking critics and some suggestion from participant and supervisor, notice of speaker material resume. However, There is no management of knowledge from material that have been presented in PPSDMS. I don’t believe that every participant of PPSDMS remembering all of material that have been presented. Therefore, It is needed a management of knowledge that have been obtained from each of presenter. We hope knowledge can flow sustainably. Concretly, We could save all of slide (powerpoint) that have been presented by speaker. May be PPSDMS add some features into portal. Therefore each of regional could upload every slide presentation into portal. We hope with the existing of information system about all of material have been presented, participant can access again all of material have been presented in PPSDMS later. If they want to refresh their knowledge.
Besides for internal purposes of PPSDMS, knowledge management can be used for external purposes. For instance, all of material of presentation is published to public. It can give some advantages and influences to others not only to participant of PPSDMS. In this era of information technology, infomation or knowledge can be spreaded to other part of the world quickly. This phenomenon is occured in Youtube, Wikipedia, Google, etc. Youtube is a website that enable us to upload and download video from people around the world. Youtube services have proved how sphreading of knowledge is no boundaries of time and space. That also occured in TED (Technology, Education, and Design), it is a consurcium in U.S which everyweek held an International lecture. In TED, leaders, innovators, and agents of change througout the world give lecture. Then the video of lecture is published to the internet (www.ted.com). Now, farmers, villagers in rural area of India or in suburban of Jakarta can attend that lecture by the video. Online lecture not only held in Youtube and TED, but some organization have also start to implement it seriouslu. Google has googleplex for their lecture (http://video.google.com/googpleplex). We can also attend to their lecture by video virtually.
All of the event above can be determined as a knowledge management, although in small scope. But It is suitable to be implemented in PPSDMS. There is three parameter to see the quality of information technology, they are the sphreadness, saveness, and quickness. The slide of presentation will be a rubbish if we don’t publish and share it to others. It can make the sphreadness be narrow. But if publish it to others through internet may be. you have given some advantages to others.

For a few hundred years, when science and mathematics were enjoying a period of great invention, one region of the world stood out. Masters of these disciplines were revered there, medicine advanced quickly, and the average person was curious about how nature worked. Not surprisingly, this region was globally respected.

disappear…

yeeaa…that’s the right words to describe what happen in our dormitory. Some of our friends is disappear…like rahmat, zaki, fajrin, ilham, ibnu, habib… We just hope that they don’t forget to our dormitory and can more contribute like kang ida have said. “one of grace we have got in this dormitory is Allah have united us with shaleh peoples. There, I hope you get shaleh environtment, even more shaleh. But, if you don’t,  persistent to become shaleh, or even you can create shaleh environment and  ask others to become shaleh”.

PPSDMS Network

This day i met one of ppsdms participant from Regional I Jakarta named agung (ilkom). We talked and shared about condition of ppsdms dormitory in each region Jakarta n Bandung. I surprised when he was talking that one of participant from regional I jakarta has been dropouted. What’s the matter? agung himself don’t know why his friend was dropouted.

But, at this time i don’t want talk about it. We (me and agung) has idea about ppsdms network. what is ppsdms network? yeaa…we can make a network between 5 regional throughout Indonesia in the Internet. With this network, we can share all newest information between us (ppsdms all). We can also use this network to share actual issue, problem, or information in Indonesia. Therefore, the vision and objective of ppsdms nurul fikri foundation can be accomplished together.

The problem is, how to make this network? Is it like INHERENT(Indonesian Higher Education Network)? No..no..we aren’t not like them yet (may be will…amiieennn). INHERENT is a great network between university througout Indonesia that has a large bandwidth. We don’t have what they have. However, we can make network by website, forum, or mailis. website, we have ppsdms.org (but not effective), how about forum? we don’t have hosting place. so We only can make feasible network by mailing list. In mailing list we can mail to others member interactively. To make this program realized, i made agung to collect email list of Regional. The next step is collecting email list from other regional ppsdms participant. So..be waiting for the next action…

Why english is very important for us??

the story begun from my lecturer Mr Yusep (Electrical Engineering). He and other lecturers attended a seminar about CDMA technology in San Diego USA. Many participant througout the world attended in that seminar. What happen in seminar? There are something wrong in content of seminar. one of Mr Yusep Team wanted to interup about it. But he couldn’t because they couldn’t use english well.

What is the moral of the story? Actually Indonesian isn’t worse than modern country people in science. But english skill has resisted their development to go international. Without english we cannot read newest journal in the world, we cannot share knowledge/information to other people around this universe. The world is flat!! so who don’t have competitiveness will be shattered.
