As part of its commitment to fostering a greener future, Undiknas University has organized a series of specialized training sessions. These sessions are designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to integrate sustainability practices into their teaching, administration, and day-to-day activities.

“We recognize the importance of sustainability in all facets of academic and professional life. This program is a crucial step toward ensuring that our academic community is well-equipped to make informed decisions and take impactful actions toward environmental sustainability,” said Prof. Dr. Ir. Nyoman Sri Subawa S.T., S.Sos., M.M., IPM., ASEAN Eng., Rector of Undiknas University.

The training covered a range of important topics, including environmental policies and regulations, sustainable resource management, and green practices in academia and administration. Participants also explored strategies for promoting sustainability in research and education, as well as methods to reduce carbon footprints on campus.

The initiative is part of the university’s broader sustainability agenda, aimed at reducing its environmental impact while providing a model for the region’s educational institutions. Lecturers and staffs are encouraged to actively participate in the program and contribute to the implementation of sustainable practices across all aspects of university life.

Undiknas University remains committed to promoting a culture of sustainability, not only within the institution but also in the wider community. By empowering individuals with the right tools and knowledge, the university hopes to inspire lasting change both locally and globally. This initiative aligns with Undiknas’ broader goal of becoming a world-class entrepreneurial university that fosters innovation, sustainability, and positive social impact.

Entrepreneurs also need to continuously learn and improve their skills. Focusing solely on revenue can be a trap, so it’s better to concentrate on the learning and experiences gained along the business journey. This experience will be invaluable in ensuring that the business can endure in the long term.

The Importance of Understanding SWOT and Blue Ocean Strategy

In running a business, understanding various theories such as SWOT analysis and the Blue Ocean strategy is crucial. The Blue Ocean Strategy, for instance, offers a fresh approach to creating markets that have not yet been tapped by competitors. By creating a “blue ocean,” entrepreneurs can take advantage of significant opportunities without directly competing with existing rivals, thus making competitors less relevant.

Optimizing the Business Model Canvas (BMC)

The Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a very useful tool for designing business strategies. The BMC can be filled in from various aspects, such as channels, activities, value propositions, key partners, or resources. It doesn’t matter where you start filling out the BMC; what matters is understanding the purpose of each component. This helps in designing a more robust and focused business model.

Creating Attraction and Motivating Yourself

In addition to having a solid strategy, it’s also important for entrepreneurs to create attractions that can capture the attention of their target market. Creativity in offering something unique will greatly help differentiate the business from its competitors. Furthermore, entrepreneurs need to continuously strengthen their self-motivation and not shy away from learning. Basic business knowledge will always be relevant and can provide a solid foundation when combined with new knowledge.

By understanding and applying these tips, aspiring entrepreneurs will be more prepared to face the challenges of starting and running a business, as well as increase their chances of long-term success.

The series of events was officially opened by the Chancellor of Undiknas, Prof. Dr. Ir. Nyoman Sri Subawa, S.T., S.Sos., M.M., IPM., ASEAN Eng., which is also an important momentum for National Education University students to gain in-depth insight from a leading figure.

This public lecture session raised the theme “Gen-Z, Successors to Bali’s Future: Building Bali’s Future Civilization” which discussed the role of the younger generation in building Bali’s future. Mr Wayan Koster explained how Bali can become an economically advanced province while maintaining its local wisdom and unique culture.

Event moderator, Dr. Drs. I Nyoman Subanda, M.Si guided the discussion that took place between Mr Koster and the students. In the ongoing discussion session, students enthusiastically conveyed their various hopes and aspirations related to social and economic issues in Bali, including poverty alleviation, the role of companies in local community development, rice field management, and action against violations committed by foreign tourists.

This Public Lecture is an important forum for students to gain new perspectives and expand their knowledge about issues relevant to Bali’s future. It is hoped that the presence of Mr. I Wayan Koster as a resource person can provide additional inspiration and motivation for Undiknas students to pursue their dreams and serve the Balinese people.

Berlangsung selama 9 Hari sejak 10 hingga 18 April 2024 rangkaian kegiatan ini mengajak mahasiswa Undiknas dan LIU Global. Diawali dengan perkenalan diri dan pertanyaan antara mahasiswa LIU Global dan Undiknas untuk saling mengenal satu sama lain. 

Kemudian, para peserta yang terlibat juga berkesempatan mempresentasikan hasil diskusi dan sharing session mereka tentang isu-isu yang akan menjadi fokus dalam kegiatan workshop yang diselenggarakan selama beberapa hari ke depan.

Di hari pertama para peserta berangkat mengunjungi Magi Farm yang berada di daerah Sukawati dan belajar tentang pengolahan sampah organik menggunakan maggot. Hari kedua para peserta mengikuti kegiatan seminar tentang permasalahan polusi plastik yang dihadapi masyarakat global saat ini bersama Roby Naviculla yang merupakan seorang musisi sekaligus tokoh yang giat menyuarakan tentang pentingnya menjaga lingkungan yang berlangsung di kantor Bali Institute di Desa Mas Gianyar.

On the third day, workshop participants attended a rice planting session and cooked lunch together from the garden produce. Continuing on the fourth day, the participants went to the Taman Baca Learning Center to learn about the history of Indonesia’s G30S PKI.

On days five to eight, the participants prepared their presentation materials for building an enterprise that is engaged in dealing with social issues that exist in society, such as problems of waste, pollution, sexual violence, alternative energy, gender equality, or other breakthroughs. This project invites participants to think creatively and outside the mainstream zone to produce something new that can benefit the community around them.

In between activities, the participants also carried out various game activities which required them to build cooperation between teams, as well as collaborate with members and learn to work together actively.

Day Nine Entering the final presentation day, the participants who had been divided into several groups, presented the results of their group discussions in front of the other participants. Also witnessed by supervisors from the Bali Institute who took part in observing how far the participants had achieved in presenting their ideas. This Final Presentation also ends the ongoing series of Social Entrepreneurship Workshop activities.

This series of activities is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially point 4 regarding education and point 15 protecting land ecosystems. Through this activity, it is hoped that it can provide new understanding and hone the abilities of Undiknas and LIU Global participants in working together in groups with different social and cultural backgrounds. This activity can also be a good first step in developing social entrepreneurship in Bali and Indonesia in general.

In an era where data is an invaluable treasure, the role of Data Analysts and Data Scientists is increasingly under the spotlight. Although they sound similar, they have significant differences in terms of responsibilities and approaches to data.

A Data Analyst is responsible for collecting, processing, and analyzing data. The primary focus is on answering specific business questions and providing insights that can be used by stakeholders. The work involves the use of statistical analysis tools and a deep understanding of business trends.

Data Analysts will mine historical data to create reports, create data visualizations, and provide insights that can help companies make better decisions. They tend to focus on structured data and use more traditional analysis methods.

Meanwhile, a Data Scientist has a broader role. They are not only involved in data analysis but also predictive model building and in-depth data exploration. Data Scientists will look for patterns, trends, and inclinations that are not immediately visible.

The Data Scientist approach includes techniques such as machine learning and deep learning to develop models that can make predictions and guide decision-making. They often work with complex, large, and unstructured data.

The main difference between a Data Analyst and a Data Scientist lies in the depth of analysis and the ultimate goal of their work. Data Analysts focus more on understanding past trends and providing insights for better decision-making. On the other hand, Data Scientists strive to predict the future, identify complex patterns, and create innovative solutions.

While the two are different, they complement each other in the enterprise data ecosystem. Often, Data Analysts produce output that can be used as input for Data Scientists, who can then develop more complex models based on the findings.

In a world that is increasingly dependent on data, both Data Analysts and Data Scientists have a crucial role. The combination of deep analysis and predictive insights creates a solid foundation for intelligent decision-making and continuous innovation across a wide range of industry sectors. The difference in their roles is not about superiority, but rather harmonious collaboration to explore the maximum potential of the world of data.

Through the theme “Building Character and Sharpening the Critical Reasoning of Quality Students (Character, Intellectual, Innovative, and Firm),” Leadership Week 2023 is designed to provide intensive training on leadership and management of student organizations. This activity was attended by Undiknas students and was designed to equip them with leadership skills needed in the real world.

Leadership Week is held with various learning methods, including Forum Group Discussion (FGD), seminars, Team Building, and various other activities. Participants are invited to actively participate in developing their insights through group discussions and interactive activities.

The official opening of Leadership Week was carried out by Dr. Ni Wayan Widhiastini, S.Sos., M.Si, as Deputy Chancellor for Academic Development at the Dwi Tunggal Auditorium Undiknas Denpasar. On the first day of this activity three main speakers were competent in their respective fields, namely Dr. Ni Wayan Widhiastini, I Gusti Ngurah Oka Ariwangsa, and Ni Gusti Agung Ayu Mas Wulandari.

In implementation, Leadership Week 2023 is divided into two main categories: Room Leadership which will take place on 16, 18, and 19 November 2023, and Field Leadership which will take place from 1 to 3 December 2023.

The hope is that through Leadership Week, participants can explore and develop the leadership potential that exists within them. This is considered a crucial first step for students who will later be involved in the BEM & DPM organizations as well as other organizations within Undiknas. It is hoped that this well-trained generation can become the successor to strong leadership and make positive contributions both to Undiknas and society in general.
