Report from AIESEC National Entrepreneurship Forum, Padang

AIESEC National Entrepreneurship Forum 2010 in PADANG

Padang, Sumatera Barat
7 Maret 2010

Sebagai rangkaian dari acara roadshow event entrepreneurship Talk Show yang diselenggarakan oleh AIESEC se Indonesia dan AIESEC Indonesia Alumni Organization, diadakan pertama kali di Padang, Sumatera Barat. Venue dari acara adalah di Lapau Gadang, Gedung Bank Indonesia Sumatera Barat.

Acara yang bernama AIESEC National Entrepreneurship Forum (NEF) 2010 ini mendapat dukungan dari beberapa pembicara besar seperti:
- Indra Abidin (Founder dari Fortune Indonesia, Tbk)
- Miranty Abidin (President Direktur FortunePR)
- Indira Abidin (Managing Director FortunePR)
- Basril Djabar (Komisaris dari Semen Padang dan Pemimpin Usaha Koran Singgalang, Sumbar)
- Romeo Rissal Pandjialam (Kepala Bank Indonesia Sumatera Barat)
- Ardiansyah Aidil (Direktur Sagatama)

Bapak Basril Djabar mengenai kewirausahaan malah cukup ekstrim. Di awal acara beliau menyampaikan, ”HARAM hukumnya bagi keluarga saya untuk menjadi karyawan atau birokrat. Kita harus bisa mengambil peran aktif dalam mengembangkan segala potensi yang ada”.

Session pertama dimulai dengan session oleh Bpk. Indra Abidin.
Beliau sedikit bercerita sedikit mengenai pengalamannya selama mahasiswa yang harus bekerja keras menjadi seorang fotografer dengan tanpa modal. “Kamera pun saya pinjam”, kata Pak Indra Abidin sambil tertawa.
“Yang penting dalam bekerja atau berusaha itu adalah ucapan kita. Apa yang kita ucapkan adalah janji. Dan orang akan memegang janji itu. Kalau orang sudah bisa mempercayai janji kita, akan memudahkan kita untuk berusaha terus ke masa mendatang. Tidak usah banyak bicara, tapi sekali bicara itu kita yang jamin pasti akan terjadi”. Tips di atas ini suatu ilustrasi dari Pak Indra kepada kita yang ingin memulai dari bawah, dan mulai tanpa modal. Menjawab pertanyaan yang sering diungkapkan – ”kalau tidak ada modal, bagaimana memulai usaha, pak?” – jawabnya adalah ”Ucapan Anda = Janji Anda dan Keahlian Anda”.

Ibu Miranty Abidin menambahkan bahwa memulai suatu usaha tidak usah berpikir terlalu besar dahulu. Mulailah dengan yang kecil. Atur finansial dengan baik. Salah satu tips pengelolaan keuangan yang diberikan oleh beliau adalah, ”pada waktu kita membuat proyeksi keuangan, bayangkan berapa income / omset atau keuntungan terkecil yang bisa kita dapat, jadi kemungkinan kita jatuh akan kecil”.

Pak Indra Abidin menimpali dengan ”dalam mengembangkan suatu usaha, jangan terlalu serakah. Pertumbuhan antara 15-20% adalah sudah cukup setiap tahunnya. Biar saja orang lain yang dapat, mungkin itu rejeki untuk mereka. Karena, kita harus melatih diri kita step by step. Kalau tiba-tiba kita disuruh untuk mengelola usaha yang tiba-tiba besar, itu alamat akan jatuh”.

”Pertumbuhan itu harus berkesinambungan, kalau tidak akan percuma. Saya selalu menerapkan teori yang sederhana sekali, tapi memang berhasil. Bahwa kita harus lebih baik dari kemarin, dan besok harus lebih baik dari hari ini.”, kata pak Indra. Sangat simple. Tapi dengan ini, kalau kita terapkan dan disiplin, akan menjadi suatu pertumbuhan perbaikan bagi kita secara luar biasa.

Pak Indra Abidin menambahkan di akhir sessionnya, ”Pengusaha harus bisa melihat masa depan. Apa yang kita bangun hari ini adalah untuk membangun dan memberi manfaat di masa depan. Itulah visi mulia menjadi seorang pengusaha”.

Ardiansyah Aidil menyampaikan, ”kita harus menjadi orang yang kreatif. Untuk menjadi kreatif kita harus melihat pasar dan menanyakan apa kira-kira yang dibutuhkan oleh orang”.

Indira Abidin di awal sesinya memberikan banyak contoh-contoh mengenai para pengusaha-pengusaha muda yang sukses. ”Memulai sesuatu tidak harus yang besar”, kata Indira.
”Bill Gates dan Steve Jobs memulai semuanya dari garasi”.
”Tips sukses dalam berwirausaha adalah memulai dari apa yang Anda senangi dan dibutuhkan oleh orang lain. Ini bisa kita lihat dari profil profil para usahawan muda yang mengembangkan bisnisnya”, kata Indira.
Dalam mengkomunikasikan usaha kita, kita tidak usah pusing di jaman serba internet seperti sekarang. ”Kita sudah punya blog, facebook, twitter. Semua itu gratis dan kita harus memanfaatkannya”. ”Rajin-rajinlah menulis di blog Anda atau status Anda dalam mempromosikan barang atau jasa Anda”, kata Indira Abidin.

Bapak Romeo Rissal menyebut dirinya sebagai Social Entrepreneur karena beliau lebih aktif membantu orang mengembangkan bisnis daripada dia melakukan untuk dirinya. Bapak Romeo yang diminta untuk memberikan session soal Pitch for Funding menyatakan, “Soal biaya itu urusan ke 37 kalau konsepnya sudah jelas”.
Beliau mengatakan ada 3 hal yang penting dalam memulai usaha, yaitu:
1. Konsep – konsep ini harus unik dan benar-benar menjawab kebutuhan pasar / masyarakat. Ini bukan perkara mudah dan harus banyak-banyak melihat peluang.
2. Sirkah – adalah kewajiban kita untuk selalu sharing dengan usaha kita.
3. Kebersungguhan – kegigihan dan tekad adalah yang dibutuhkan untuk memiliki usaha.

Dalam menjawab suatu pertanyaan, Indira Abidin juga menyatakan bahwa dalam memilih media komunikasi untuk usaha kita, harus melihat pasar kita ada di mana dan mengakses media apa. Baru kita akan tahu media komunikasi apa yang harus digunakan.
Bapak Romeo Rissal juga memberikan tips bagi seorang penanya, ”memulai usaha itu bisa dengan usaha apa saja, tapi kita harus pilih mana yang lebih cepat yaitu bisnis yang memang sangat dibutuhkan saat ini”.

Pertanyaan yang sangat mendasar pun terlontar, ”Bagaimana cara minta pendanaan dari Bank kalau kita belum punya pengalaman usaha, karena bank suka menanyakan hal itu”.

Ardiansyah Aidil memiliki tips, ”maka dari itu, kalau saya, sudah berusaha membangun kepercayaan bank dari yang tingkat paling kecil. Misalnya pinjam pada Bank Perkreditan Rakyat dahulu, lalu baru berkembang ke bank besar”.

My MC Life in AIESEC Indonesia (MCVPOGX Part1)

Hello, my name is Masaru Ashizawa.
Currently the MCVPOGX of AIESEC Indonesia 09/10 term.

Next, I want to share my experiences so far in my MC term.
This time, I summarized into 3 points to make it easy to read.
But surely I want to share more and more!

-Working in a whole different environment in a growing potential market and culturally diverse people

I get to work with diverse people among the MC team and AIESEC Indonesia by becoming MC from different country background. Although working in the same AIESEC network, I see the way organization run things are very different.

It is merely the difference of the culture in the organization itself.

One of the reason is due to the external environment which Indonesia has potential of higher growth as an AIESEC entity and in the market itself.

But most importantly, I feel it is because of the rapid development process that AIESEC Indonesia is currently running. From a country with no exchange opportunities realized to becoming APGN Top 3 rank in Q2 2009 and achieving NBBB award in IC2009 Malaysia!!!

To be specific, the environment I face can be assembled into "Passionate, High Ambition, Quick Action & Always working towards new solutions."

I absolutely feel very excited, honorable and challenging in working in this kind of environment and happy to contribute myself in here.


-Get international and diverse network

As an MCVP Exchange, I work closely AIESECers locally and globally to generate exchange and partnerships. Here I got to seize the global trends of AIESEC network and how we need to adjust and develop our supply to tap into new countries for partnership.

It requires building relationship management with people you never met before and virtual communication skills. I gain connection with people over 30 different countries and territories, and get to have experience in managing with all these people coming from different of background.

By being MCVPOGX, I am implementing not
"Act Local, Think Global", but "Act Local AND Global"!!!

-Being Representative of Two countries

As an International MC, I have the opportunity to become the representative of Indonesia and Japan. I am proud to represent two countries at the same time because this is a chance that I won't be able to expereience easily in my whole life.

To members of AIESEC Indonesia and in National Conferences, I introduce Japanese cultures, trends and lifestyles, in the otherhand, during international conferences or to external students, I become ambassodor of AIESEC Indonesia.


These are only few of the aspects of my experiences as MC in Indonesia.
Hope to share more during my remaining term in here!!!!

I am Member Committee of AIESEC Indonesia 09/10.
Do "YOU" want to be part of National Team???

MC in Indonesia Part I - Indonesia My Second Home?

My name is Feng Weiji, aka Cath. I am Chinese. I mean Chinese Chinese, not Chinese Indonesian. That’s what I’ve been telling to everyone. Indonesia is kind of an accident in my life – the thing that you don’t know, you don’t plan, you don’t dream. I still remember when I first arrived and everyone kept asking me what my impression was about Indonesia before I came. I honestly didn’t know what to say. Impression? I didn’t have any impression about Indonesia. That was how I was when I started my MC term in Indonesia. Blank.

I’ve been living in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, and it’s been summer, and summer, and summer. If I tell you Jakarta is all that gorgeous and beautiful and exciting I’d be lying. Jakarta is so vast that it is all too easy to get lost, in traffic, and in translation. It’s easy to make me wonder why I am here in the first place. But Jakarta has what it takes to grab your heart – all that heat, all that traffic, all that people, all that vastness. As I sit in this cafe in Kuala Lumpur I miss it.

Indonesian people are more soft, patient, and religious than my people. I have come to appreciate Indonesia because of its people. Even in a language that you do not understand you find the people lovely. Well AIESECers even better. No doubt about that.

I have a house to stay in Indonesia. And we usually call it “home”, in context like “there is no egg and butter at home”. But I have realized that it is becoming a home to me – in the sense of “home”. Today I have come from my real home, waiting to get permission to enter Indonesia. It’s been a very difficult day, because I almost didn’t get it. Sheer frustration. As I was complaining to Masaru I said “I only wanna go home”. Then he said, “which home?”. Which home? I could feel the tears in my eyes.

GET TO KNOW MORE MC TEAM 0910

MC TEAM MANAGEMENT

Yiiieey..!! Finally after NPM, we met again almost full team (except Cath since she’s still in China) in our MC meeting on May 27th – 29th at our new office in Kelapa Gading area. For three days, we talked about our personal thingy, team characteristic building, and ended it up by continuing our planning.
On the 1st day, should be started at 9 am, but we made it at 11 am! Since some of MCs (Andra, Dessy, and Noach) just come from Bandung, Masaru was stuck in traffic jam from Lila’s house, and I (Mya) was little bit sick, so I should take a rest little bit longer in the morning. When we arrived at the office, Jenni was ready to kick our asses; otherwise we treat her at dinner. Started from talking about Sempu Island stories, the post tour of Natcon 3, we could discover our characteristic individually. It reflected our role and contribution to the team as well. It was extremely interesting to know ourselves from such an outbound activity like that! 
After that we discussed about MC Image in the NPM. We should know about image that we want to build and understand our contribution toward that. Because it’s a very interesting discussion, we forgot that we haven’t had our dinner yet! And for today’s dinner, we had it in a seafood restaurant around Kelapa Gading. Spicy but yummy! After back, we continue to discuss about feedback framework. Even feedback should be given in a constructive way! Then we talked about our working culture that we want to have. Coffee talks in the morning! After that the time was showing around 00.30 am. At first, we want to stay at the office together, but since Dessy was offering her house to stay and continue the meeting, then we moved there! Thanks DessY.. 
On the 2nd day, we did the meeting at Dessy’s house with full of foods! Dessy’s mom is so nice and she loves cooking! Thank you, Tante (it means aunty, our call for her mom). On this day, we started from our common vision and mission that is aligned with AIESEC International. From that we can know our contribution and align our target for next term. Then we discussed about our team character, and ended it up with personal talks about personal development with Jenni. After long talks, we had break for pray and dinner. Yuppy, we had dinner at traditional food place nearby Dessy’s house. There are fried rice, cap cay, sop kaki kambing, nasi uduk, etc. Very traditional foods from Indonesia with cheap price and yummy taste!  Then we continued with discussing about conference cycle. So far we decided to have 4 conferences in this term with different focus in each conference. So cool!
On the 3rd day, we just had short meeting until 12am since all of us have other tasks to do as well. On this day, we focused on planning thingy. We updated about planning progress from each functional and decided a lot of tasks to be done for planning. And finally we decided our team name for AIESEC Indonesia 09/10, which is RAINBOW, with tagline Together We Shine! 
Hopefully in term 09/10 AIESEC Indonesia will be really shining across the AIESEC network and in the world! 

On 21st of May 2009, MC of AIESEC Indonesia have the opportunities to have SG meeting in Mbak Habsari, who is also one of the Supervisory Groups members, Villa in Dago Bengkok, Bandung.

There are Jenni, Ap, Lila, Masaru, Noach, Dessy, and me (andra) who AMAZED with the beauty of the Villa. The villa is consist of two building of houses. One building is owned by Mbak Habsari and the other one is owned by her best friends. They build it together in the same land.
We had the chance to look around the villa. The villa is not big but it has many open windows, so it is has a very fresh nature air inside. The furniture is also makes us very comfortable, it is just like a getaway place for holiday ;). Moreover, there is continuous sustainable food offered by Mbak Ari, from the lemper, sweet bread, comro (unique food from Bandung) to the main dish, and if its already finished Mbak Ari always offer new food which makes us gaining more weight :D
Mbak Ari has a really sweet and lovely family. His husband is very warm, friendly, and also talkative. She has a two boys, the older is very smart, he can remembered all countries flags and the younger one is very friendly and cute.
Mas Bido comes later to mbak ari house. Since he became the SG chair, he conducts and led the SG Meeting. The meeting is discussing about being focus on your strengths, put 10,000 hours for your strengths, and to accelerate the learning.
1) Focus on your Strength
Never focus on your weaknesses! Focus on your strengths. We have limited time in this world so differentiate ourselves with the strengths that we already had. Do you know how to differentiate between hobby and strength? Hobby is something that we had the interest on it but strength is something that we had the interest plus everybody is recognize it and they also like it when we do it. So, if you also had the time to win some award then it means that people also recognized your strength

2) Put 10,000 hours for your strength
It has the research on successful people like David Beckham, Tiger Woods, and Bill Gates is putting more than 10,000 hours in the professional skill which also their strengths. They are practicing from the very beginning from every details to enhance and sharpen their strength. Bill Gates also learns how to make the computer not suddenly becoming CEO of Microsoft. So, its very that successful people put more time on their strengths. Even mbak Ari already manage her financial matters since she were young.

3) Accelerate Learning

Mas Bido suggest to us that AIESEC Indonesia should accelerate the learning process that they made now. The faster the learning process, the more growth we can get. That is why many successful people also becomes success at a young age. Mbak Ari also said that learning is can start anytime, even when she is still young she already manage her personal financial
The topic that we discussed is very interesting from 3pm until 6pm not only SG and MC who involved but also Mbak Ari’s boy is also joining the discussion. At the end of our meeting we had sharing time to discuss about what each of MC will going to do for the next term of 09/10 and their dreams. After the meeting finished actually, Mbak Ari is inviting us to have dinner together but unfortunately we had a meeting so we didn’t join the dinner. So, It was a really nice topic discussion in a very comfortable place. Thank you very much for SG who brings a very interesting topics and Mbak Ari for allowing us to conduct it in her villa.

Supervisory Group Meeting of AIESEC in Indonesia




MC team had a SG meeting on May 23rd!!The meeting was comprized from MC08/09,09/10 and the SGs.

My first impression as experiencing the similar meeting in AIESEC in Japan,I was expecting a very formal and tight discussion.

The atmosphere of the meeting turned out to be very diffent then I expected,having meeting at a restaurant with eating and drinking, friendly and fun talks,and of course also the intensive discussion according to the agenda.

It was quite surprising for me to know that the relation with the SG is not only a partner giving critical feedbacks from a professional perspective but also listening and understanding about the situation of AIESEC Indonesia and the MC body.

That is why we can discuss our realities and also about our problems frankly, which makes the meeting very useful and essential for the MC. I am really looking forward to have further coaching and discussion about our conditions and reality in the next SG meeting!!

AND the greatest part is that we get treated for the whole meal and drinks!! Cant wait for the next time!!

I am an AIESECer - Aidy Steveany



In 2004, I was joined AIESEC Bandung when I was at 3rd year in Padjadjaran and Parahyangan University. I chose AIESEC because I can see that AIESEC can become a perfect platform for me to practice my management and administration knowledge, gain practical experience, and expand my personal and professional network.

Personally, I see my every involvement in AIESEC as invaluable investment to develop my personal, interpersonal, and professional life. Joining international conference and involving in various activities in local and national level expanded my network and perspectives and two years of experience in operational and strategic level enhanced my analytical and entrepreneurial skills.

The development has been more than tremendous. Giving the best contribution, I learnt more than I could imagine. In many times, I fought my thought and my fear until I dare to apply as President of AIESEC Bandung 2006/07 and once more as President of AIESEC Indonesia 2007/08. At the end, It is rather sweet and not scary at all. These experiences are not easy but every leaders said, once we conquered it, it made us realized that people are able to do big things when they are dare to starting thinking about it and do it.

After my leadership experience, I did not stop with my personal and professional exploration in AIESEC. Moreover, I want to explore the world and new concept, social business. I went to Brazil to be part of Artemisia-Ashoka project through AIESEC Internship program. Working in a social business and helping them to build sustainability while learning for its model have given deep learning on transfering world capital to the poor.

From meeting with billionaire in Brazil to visiting the most slum and closed community in Brazil, I can see the meaning behind my work, my passion, and my aspiration. And now I have no doubt to take another stage of learning in life after my internship program in one of best university in Europe. Thank you to previous leaders in AIESEC who gave me a lot of inspiration and motivation to make all these happened in my life.

And AIESEC for these opportunities to make a life changing experience has become reality.

Principle centered leadership


Today is Sunday and after watching Olympics men's volleyball finals between US and Brazil (After which I changed my Gmail tag to "Unforced errors make you the second best") I decided to search for some Internet. Luckily here you find many wifi cafes. All you have to do is to buy some snacks of a drink and they let you access Internet through their secured wifi connection. If you want you can spend the whole day there.

So now some reflections from the last few weeks...

A lot being discussed about what brings organizational success and what can contribute to thriving organizations. This is parallel to setting up the platform for National conference of AIESEC Indonesia in November. The reality has been such that being in the top organizational body you try hard to encourage and make your subordinates perform and bring results, but also you find the output is not proportional to the effort that you put in. And also you find that your role increasingly become high directive and less supportive which means you are "Telling" what needs to happen and rest follows - missing key self driven and learning culture in the organization.

This is when we started our topic of discussion about "Principle centered leadership". Influenced by the concepts shown in Stephen Covey's literature, we discussed and discovered the importance of having a never changing core for this organization (Especially for an organization where leadership changes every year, it is an utmost necessity to have a strong unifying direction that can hold everything together).

These set of "Principles" once commonly shared and when combined with deep organizational understanding, will be the foundation for creating the required organizational culture that will drive more self driven learning, leadership and behaviors that we want to cultivate in our organization.

We believe that we are on the right track for leading a better and more effective organizational culture. And we are looking forward to make the fullest commitment to make things happen...

I am ready to KICK ASS :)


When I decided to apply for MCP in Feburary, I felt I was ready and was looking forward to a very challenging and a great learning experience. I never reaslised that I will not only get it but in a larger scale, in just the 1st month of my term.

Being MCP is truly a very different and unique experience, specially for me since I have never before been in a President position. The last month (July) was one of the MOST challenging and difficult month for me. Mainly because of new, unexpected situations coming up, making hard decisions and thinking about so many perspectives to ensure the right choices are made and it is beneficial for all and making sacrifices. This of course took a toll on my emotions, I have never felt such extreme and diverse emotions in a short period. Catching up with these emotions was a challenge by its self. When I look back in this one and a half months, I believe that I am so blessed and fortunate to have such amazing life changing experience is just one and a half months. When I think about how I survived all this, the credit undoubtedly goes to my MC team; who is a constant inspiration for me, my parents; who are always supporting me and SG members; who is always there for me and the team when we need them. At this point, I feel so excited and eager to see what ten and a half months have in store for me.

I am ready to KICK ASS :)

Experiencing China!

I wanna feel and see the world changing.
Tag: Cold, freezing, and anxious.

1st day in Shanghai China was not easy. I went to Shanghai, China with one of colleague and many expectations that I buried in my mind.

When I arrived in Pudong Airport, I saw Shanghai covered by thick snow and we took metro line and suddenly I lost my friend and we got separated. After spent 2 hours to find my colleague, I met her again in the final destination metro line. Fiuh so relieved.

This is my third day I’m staying in Shanghai and I really hope I can get the things that I want.

Looking forward for getting good and challenging experience.

SRB in UI

When Jenni had asked me to be one of the review Board members for SRB, i immediately said yes, thinking it will be a new as well as a fun experience for me.
I never expected that i will learn so much in the process of it and it will revive old memories from my EB term.
