Teknologi dan Inovasi

Teknologi dan Inovasi

Sampai saat ini penerapan teknologi dan inovasi masih perlu ditingkatkan. Bukan hanya di bidang teknologi tinggi, tetapi juga teknologi tepat guna.

"Kita harus lebih memperhatikan kegiatan research and development (R&D). Pada intinya bangsa ini membutuhkan banyak sekali perbaikan kemampuan teknologi dan inovasi," kata Rachmat Gobel, Direktur Utama PT Gobel International, dalam orasi ilmiah di Gedung Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi Jakarta (BPPT), Rabu (19/8).

Dalam kesempatan itu, Wakil Ketua Kadin Bidang Perindustrian, Riset dan Teknologi dianugerahi Gelar Perekayasa Utama Kehormatan oleh BPPT.

"Penghargaan ini dimaksudkan untuk mengapresiasi dan memotivasi perekayasa untuk bisa terus berkarya. Dikenal masyarakat luas dan di bidang perekayasa yang telah ditunjukkan dengan produknya. Tahun 2009 ini kita memilih Rachmat Gobel," ungkap Marzan Aziz Iskandar, Ketua BPPT.

Dalam orasi ilmiahnya, Rachmat mengangkat tema "Technovation: Meningkatkan Daya Saing Industri Nasional menuju Era Knowledge Based Competition".

"Technovation adalah upaya secara berkelanjutan dalam melakukan inovasi teknologi untuk meningkatkan kemampuan teknologi dan metoda kerja ke tingkat yang lebih tinggi, agar produk yang dihasilkan memberi nilai tambah yang tinggi bagi konsumen, agar produk yang dihasilkan selalu daya-saing," katanya, yang sejak 2008 menjadi komisaris di PT Indosat Tbk.

Menurutnya, technovation ini juga mengandung unsur kaizen, yakni upaya menyempurnakan pekerjaan yang menjadi tanggung jawab kita demi untuk sebuah kemajuan. "Dan inilah antara lain masalah besar yang dihadapi bangsa kita, yaitu kurang menuntut diri melakukan perbaikan dalam proses atau produksi," tutur Rachmat.

Kemudian ia memberi contoh teknologi produksi tempe. Kita mungkin adalah produsen tempe terbesar di dunia. Dan kebutuhan masyarakat juga besar. "Namun kita lihat, sampai saat ini boleh dikatakan tidak ada perubahan teknologi atau inovasi yang signifikan dalam proses pembuatannya," paparnya.

Untuk itu, lanjutnya, ia memikirkan ke depan perlunya menciptakan iklim yang kondusif bagi pengembangan teknologi, transfer teknologi, inovasi di sektor industri. "Kita perlu segera melakukan restrukturisasi dan reorientasi kebijakan pengembangan industri nasional agar lebih terarah sesuai dengan tuntutan persaingan usaha," harapnya.

Kenaikan jumlah penduduk didunia yang bukan sekedar wow, tapi..... WOW!!!

Imagine This!!

The world's population is forecast to hit 7 billion in 2011, the vast majority of its growth coming in developing and, in many cases, the poorest nations, a report released Wednesday said.

Riders cram into a train last month in New Delhi, India. India's population is expected to be 1.7 billion by 2050.

A staggering 97 percent of global growth over the next 40 years will happen in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the Population Reference Bureau's 2009 World Population Data Sheet.

"The great bulk of today's 1.2 billion youth -- nearly 90 percent -- are in developing countries," said Carl Haub, a co-author of the report. Eight in 10 of those youth live in Africa and Asia.

"During the next few decades, these young people will most likely continue the current trend of moving from rural areas to cities in search of education and training opportunities, gainful employment, and adequate health care," Haub continued, calling it one of the major social questions of the next few decades.

In the developed world, the United States and Canada will account for most of the growth -- half from immigration and half from a natural increase in the population -- births minus deaths, according to the report.

High fertility rates and a young population base in the developing world will fuel most of the growth, especially in Africa, where women often give birth to six or seven children over a lifetime, the report says. The number is about two in the United States and 1.5 in Canada.

A stark contrast can be drawn between Uganda and Canada, which currently have about 34 million and 31 million residents, respectively. By 2050, Canada's population is projected to be 42 million, while Uganda's is expected to soar to 96 million, more than tripling.

"Even with declining fertility rates in many countries, world population is still growing at a rapid rate," said Bill Butz, president of the bureau. "The increase from 6 billion to 7 billion is likely to take 12 years, as did the increase from 5 billion to 6 billion. Both events are unprecedented in world history."

By 2050, India is projected to be the world's most populous nation at 1.7 billion, overtaking current leader China, which is forecast to hit 1.4 billion. The United States is expected to reach 439 million for No. 3 on the list.

Arti Warna pada Simbol Pita

Arti Warna pada Simbol Pita dan bentuk kepedulian kita

Beberapa waktu yang lalu ramai penggunaan simbol pita merah yang disematkan di dada sebagai bukti kepedulian terhadap ODHA (Orang Dengan HIV dan AIDS). Berlanjut dengan penggunaan pita pink sebagai bentuk kepedulian terhadap kanker payudara. Dan sekarang ini nih di USA sono lagi demen ama pita kuning sebagai dukungan terhadap prajurit mereka yang ditugaskan di Irak dan medan tempur lainnya. Pita kuning tersebut biasanya bertuliskan Save Our Troops dan bahkan beberapa orang memberikan dukungan nya dengan cara mengikatkan pita kuning di pohon di sekitar rumah mereka. Banyak cerita seputar penggunaan pita-pita tersebut dan warna-warna yang berbeda dari setiap pita mewakili maksud tertentu.

Banyak dari nama penyakit dan singkatan di bawah ini tidak diterjemahkan. Dikarenakan tidak terdapatnya padanan yang cocok dalam bahasa Indonesia atau merupakan singkatan yang tidak dapat di artikan secara harafiah. Silakan tanya pada Mr. G untuk penjelasan lebih lanjut sekalian menambah perbendaharaan bahasa kita.

Kenakanlah pita dan katakan bahwa KITA PEDULI.

Salam.

How Great is Your Love

by Mark Altrogge

No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
No mind has ever conceived
The glorious things that You have prepared
For everyone who has believed
You brought us near and You called us Your own
And made us joint heirs with Your Son.

Chorus:
How high and how wide,
How deep and how long,
How sweet and how strong is Your love.
How lavish Your grace,
How faithful Your ways,
How great is Your love, oh Lord.

Objects of mercy who should have known wrath
We’re filled with unspeakable joy.
Riches of wisdom, unsearchable wealth,
And the wonder of knowing Your voice.
You are our treasure and our great reward,
Our hope and our glorious King.

crm and personalization

Teacher : Do you know CRM?

Student A : Me!!! CRM is Cant Really Measure!!

Teacher : Next..

Student B : Cocktail Rum Martini!!

Teacher : hhmmm.. sounds interesting, but TOTALLY WRONG!!

Ok, CRM is Customer Relationship Management. It is an approach to building and sustaining long-term business with customer. Anybody can give any example?

Student C : Is it when we maintain the relationship with customer sir?

Teacher : Right. Anyone else?

Student D : Finding new customer!!

Teacher : Nice try.. Let me tell you a small part of CRM….

It is important for everyone to retain the customer and also finding the new one. It is cheaper to maintain it then looking for new customer. A company has to keep their current customer; make them satisfy with the product and services, create the loyalty, and bring them to re-purchase. As a customer we must be very pleased to get direct mail from the company. For example, when we get birthday wishes from the company, greetings in any special moments; that really takes our heart to a deep appreciation. People will talk about it and coincidently promoting the brand. But at the other side some people might disturb by the personalization; get unimportant email during your work?? Sounds very annoying right..
