Episode VI AFQ mengangkat tema Praktik Inovasi dan Belajar dari Perusahaan-perusahaan Inovatif (Bagian 1).

Mungkin ada yang belum menyadari bahwa inovasi adalah suatu disiplin. Kita tentu bisa belajar banyak dari para praktisi dan pemikir manajemen tentang hal ini. Menariknya, banyak orang dan organisasi sudah mempraktikkan inovasi; di berbagai ukuran organisasi, beragam industri, lokasi, dan seterusnya. Disiplin inovasi mencakup prinsip dan praktik inovasi itu sendiri. Disiplin inovasi membawa pada atau menyebabkan praktik inovasi yang sistematis yang membawa organisasi pada keberhasilan inovasi secara ekonomi dan sosial. Disiplin inovasi inilah yang memungkinkan inovasi dapat dipelajari dan diterapkan banyak orang untuk orang banyak, banyak organisasi untuk berbagai manfaat menurut persepsi pelanggan. Kita juga mengetahui bahwa berinovasi itu menciptakan nilai.
Inovasi menciptakan pelanggan dan menciptakan pasar. Pada episode ini, Avanti Fontana on Q menampilkan eksplorasi pengalaman pelaku dan pemimpin serta pengamat perusahaan inovatif. Kita akan dengarkan bagaimana inovasi di Amazon, salah satu perusahaan paling inovatif (Majalah Fastcompany Maret 2010).

Uraian singkat tentang Amazon disampaikan oleh Dr Suryadiputra Liawatimena dengan bantuan media peta konsep berbasis komputer MindJet MindManager dan juga telah mempersiapkan peta konsep tercetak ukuran A0. Apa yang membedakan dari yang belum inovatif? Kita dapat belajar dari pengalaman, peluang dan tantangan yang mereka hadapi dan respons menuju keberhasilan.

Dialog-dialog dirancang dengan penekanan pada praktik inovasi dalam kehidupan organisasi sehari-hari dan dalam peristiwa-peristiwa khusus organisasi serta tantangan dalam berinovasi bisnis ditempatkan pada konteks makro Indonesia. Narasumber episode ini: Bryan David Tilaar (Martha Tilaar Group), Ronny Liyanto (Polygon), Dr Suryadiputra Liawatimena (BiNus University, Penggerak Peta Konsep Anak Bangsa).

Episode ini ditayangkan di QTV The Channel for Decision Makers (FirstMedia/Kabel Vision) pada Selasa, 23 Maret jam 22.00-23.00 WIB dan Rabu, 31 Maret jam 12.00-13.00 WIB dan kemudian dapat diakses via www.qchannel.tv (video on demand).

Converting text to mind map assists the learning process and encourages new ways of thinking. What can you summarize in a mind map? Anything! Examples might be books, magazines, articles, websites, blog posts or your own personal writing.

Around 10% of Text become a Mind Map

If this is a new concept to you, after reading this demonstration you will be able to convert text to mind map and also see how easy it is to do the reverse – create and plan your own writing from a mind map.  Taking a section of text and exploring the key points I have reproduced the essence of the message within the text as I personally see it. Doing this helps you to drink in the ideas and advice in order to recall it and more importantly to retain it. I have kept illustrations to a minimum here to focus on the conversion of text to mindmap and have selected key concepts adding a few extra personal thoughts.

Why create a mind map from text?

Creating a mind map helps consolidate learning and expand thinking. It assists you in digesting information, retaining it and exploring new concepts and topics in your own unique way. After you have transferred text to mindmap several times you quickly get a feel for extracting key points whenever you read and you start to think in mindmap form (and 5W 1H form!) creating links and associations, looking and reading with questions in your mind such as: “What is the message here?” “What are the main points?” “What is this really about?” “What do I wish to retain?” “Where is the lesson here?” “If I were to summarise what I have read in a couple of words – what is being said?”

March 12, 2010: New Layout

PKAB has new layout. Enjoy the stay…

Isn’t it so frustrating that despite our best intentions we so often fail to meet the levels of success we desire? You probably started this year thinking about how you were going to do much better this year, but like most people, you probably suffered from:

• Feeling overwhelmed by everything you need to do
• Getting stuck, and procrastinating on important tasks
• Having a lack of direction and finding it hard to make decisions and prioritize tasks
• Missing tasks out when planning projects

Beat the clock

But it doesn’t have to be like that. Find out more the solution here.
