CEO Speaks, Carrefour on Growth

A few weeks ago I went with friends of mine to this event. It’s a routine event at BINUS BUSINESS SCHOOL called CEO Speaks. In this event you can get real insight from CEOs from some of the big and prominent companies in Indonesia. Not theriotically, but based on real case. Something you don’t get to see every day, huh? Not to mention it’s also free :)

Actually I already knew about this event for a long time ago, but didn’t get the chance to attend it before. My regrets if all the CEO speaks was this good. Hoping to attend the next one :)

So, this time it’s Carrefour’s turn to get into the spot light with their new CEO, Shafie Shamsuddin. At first, I thought he was Indonesian, but he said he was Singaporean Malayan at the beginning of the session. Previously Mr. Shamsuddin had worked at Carrefour in Malaysia and Singapore too. He told us, that before, Carrefour top management was always filled with fellow French and it was impossible for Asian like him to enter the ring, until

Now, it make sense why this error can totally messed up your blog.

Blue Folder or Drive Names

Blue Folder

Blue Folder

Do you ever see  your folders or even drive name in blue instead of black? No need to panic, because I also came across this the other day there is a logical explanation about it.

Blue means that your files are encrypted (not very likely) or compressed files. It’s a feature of the NTFS file system used by XP. But I have found that people using other type of Windows are also experiencing the same thing. Even the new Windows 7. Blue files can also appear if you run disk cleanup and choose to “compress old files”.

There’s no problem having your files compressed, you can still access them but it’ll cost you a little more time since Windows will have to

Meet The BPM Dummies

Meet The BPM Dummies

What is business process management (BPM)? It’s a dicipline to design, control, analyze, and improve operational business processes allowing process improvement methodology and enabling technology to be affectively combined, automating execution and coordinating human participation.

We already heard about previous process-centric management approach like six sigma, and lean in the past. So, what makes it different? You could say that BPM is helping them by embraces them and enables them with new tools and capabilities.

Business Process Management (BPM) is useful, powerful and potentially very accessible. But, with so many analysts, consultants, publications and vendors weighing in with their own perspective and opinions, it can be very confusing. The talk about BPM is also frequently tied to SOA (service oriented architecture) because they complement each other. Hence that SOA is also quite hype around big enterprises.

So now, are you interested to know more about BPM? You might want to check out this website, The BPM Dummies. It’s not a all in one website about BPM. This is a website of a book, called BPM Basics for Dummies.

Wait a minute, there’s a catch on the website. Because it’s not telling you to buy the book but to download the e-book for
