Energy Ministry Holds International Forum on Civil Servant Management

The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (EMR) held an international forum on civil servant management titled "Building an Agile and Global Minded Public Civil Servant" on Tuesday (12/10).

Head of Human Resource Development Agency (BPSDM), Prahoro Yulijanto Nurtjahjo, said that during the current disruption era, everyone, including public sector organizations, should move fast in responding to any changes.

"In the current disruption era, we have been introduced to the acronym of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity). This means that everyone should move fast in responding to various changes. Public sector organizations should not adhere to rigid rules and operate like a machine. For this reason, we need agile civil servants, those who are speedy and adaptive," said Prahoro.

Prahoro expected the international forum on civil servant management would offer breakthroughs and organization management patterns that are more energetic, dynamic, and flexible that would create responsive bureaucracy.

"To develop the strategies for creating civil servants with adaptive and agile mindset, organizations should nurture the involvement of employees and restructure itself. Agile human resources will ensure that an organization will be ready to respond to dynamic changes. These personnel do not adhere rigidly to plans; instead, they are flexible and innovative," Prahoro emphasized.

According to Prahoro, the government should make efforts to improve civil servants professionalism so that they have competitiveness and uphold bureaucracy ethics in servicing the public.

"For this reason, the government needs to promote sustainable human resource development programs clearly and consistently," Prahoro concluded.

The first speaker was Chief Corporate Human Capital Development of Astra International, Aloysius Budi, who gave a talk titled 'Building Adaptive Bureaucratic Leadership with Global Insight and Entrepreneurship'.
