Empowering Indonesia’s organizations with AI innovation Silos in business planning can result in inefficient communication and missed opportunities for collaboration.

n this rapidly changing landscape, where the integration of AI is becoming more prevalent in workplaces worldwide, organizations face a dual challenge: adapting to the automation of tasks while nurturing a work environment that values the human experience of their employees.

In a recent discussion with The Jakarta Post, Vince Randall, vice president, Adaptive Planning (APAC) at Workday elaborated how Indonesian organizations were acutely aware of the imperative for digital transformation and the role AI is playing in enhancing digital agility.

Last December, the Indonesian government launched The White Paper on National Strategy for the Development of Indonesia’s Digital Economy 2030. The white paper comes at an opportune time for the Indonesian digital economy, which has been recognized for its sizable contributions, of between 7.6 percent and 8.7 percent of the country’s GDP in 2022. 

While the white paper acknowledges that the country is still in the early stages of digital economic development, an increasing number of Indonesian businesses are embracing new and upcoming technologies. At the same time, businesses are growing increasingly wary of issues from surges in data volume and the corresponding complexities of maintaining good data hygiene.

Driving economic growth with AI

Indonesia's intensified focus on economic growth and a digital-first strategy requires businesses to address the issue of organizational silos in their planning processes.

These silos, often caused by poor communication, fragmented data and reliance on manual methods, result in inefficient and cumbersome operations. 

“The changes in the market landscape, from economic conditions to consumer patterns, require businesses to make swift changes to their strategy to capitalize on the changing conditions and stay ahead of the competition,” said Randall. 

With Workday AI embedded into its core, Workday Adaptive Planning enhances organizational agility, facilitates faster and informed decision-making and supports adaptation to evolving business landscapes. It promotes a continuous, collaborative enterprise-wide planning process, enabling companies to navigate complexities effectively and achieve greater success. AI-driven solutions are rapidly transforming industries throughout Indonesia, introducing new working methods, fostering innovation and unlocking efficiencies. 

Navigating Indonesia’s digital economy 

In Indonesia, Workday has partnered with multiple notable organizations, such as BINUS Group. Workday’s collaboration with BINUS Group in its workforce transformation plans has resulted in improved resource optimization, increased efficiency and enhanced business agility and resilience.

Randall was optimistic about the country’s attempts at adopting AI-driven solutions, noting that it would usher in seasons of economic growth. 

“The Indonesia National AI Strategy 2020-2045 has already set the direction for the country, further galvanizing the role of AI in Indonesia's digital transformation. With the progressive and global adoption of AI, it sets a precedent for Indonesia to follow suit, to enhance productivity and drive revenue growth. As more organizations continue to integrate AI into their various operations, Indonesia’s embrace of AI solutions becomes a strategic imperative for maintaining global competitiveness.”
