Abstract

Technological advancements and digital transformation have significantly impacted business management, including the consulting sector. PQM Consultants faces challenges in managing inquiries, which are still manually handled using Microsoft Excel. This manual process results in fragmented data, delays in accessing information, input errors, and difficulties in real-time monitoring of inquiry statuses. These issues affect operational efficiency, data transparency, and timely decision-making. This research focuses on developing a web-based inquiry management platform through the Design Thinking methodology, aiming to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of inquiry handling at PQM Consultants. Adopting a qualitative case study approach, the study gathers insights through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document reviews involving consultants and support team members who are directly engaged in the inquiry process. Research participants consist of consultants and support team members directly involved in inquiry management. The study uses a Design Thinking approach, which focuses on solving problems through repeated refinement and actively involving users throughout the development process. This framework supports the development of creative solutions by deeply understanding user needs, defining key challenges, and continuously refining ideas through prototyping and testing (Costich 2021). The Empathize stage focuses on understanding user needs and challenges. The Define stage formulates the core problems specifically. The Ideate stage generates creative ideas as potential solutions. The Prototype stage develops an initial design of the platform, which is then tested during the Test stage to gather feedback for further refinement. The results indicate that the web-based inquiry management platform effectively addresses various challenges in managing inquiry data, such as access delays, input errors, and data fragmentation. The platform enables consultants to monitor inquiry statuses in real-time, access data transparently, and make faster and more accurate decisions.

Abstract

In Indonesia, digital startups play a vital role as drivers of innovation across sectors. Pro-technology regulations and a strong entrepreneurial mindset support their growth. PT Metra-Net, a subsidiary of Telkom Indonesia, operates a Corporate Accelerator (CA) program; however, its performance from 2019 to 2023 has not met expectations. This study aims to evaluate the factors influencing CA performance and formulate strategies for improvement. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews and documentation, and analysed using Miles & Huberman's model. The theoretical framework comprises an internal analysis (IFE) based on the Resource-Based View (RBV) and an external analysis (EFE) utilising the PESTLE framework and Porter's Five Forces. Findings reveal Metranet's key strengths lie in access to the Telkom Group ecosystem and a collaborative management structure. Weaknesses include low go-to-market (GTM) synergy, limited research and development (R&D) capabilities, and underutilised data. External challenges arise from regulatory changes and global competition. Based on SWOT and IE Matrix analysis, an aggressive (growth-oriented) strategy is recommended. Improving CA performance requires aligning internal strategies with adaptive responses to external challenges. Recommendations include strengthening the CIO's role, optimising ESG and AI-driven R&D, and aligning with the digital market needs of state-owned enterprises (BUMN).

Abstract

This study analyzes customer journey mapping of parents and students in Sunar Sanggita, a social enterprise that empowers the blind as music teachers. Through a qualitative approach involving in-depth interviews with 16 respondents, this study identified the stages of the consumer journey and pain points associated with using inclusive music course services. The results reveal four primary pain points: a lack of transparency regarding information about blind teachers, concerns about teachers' abilities, dependence on teaching assistants, and a scarcity of events to motivate students. Despite the initial challenges, the majority of respondents appreciated the social value gained from the experience of learning with blind teachers. This research contributes to the development of empathy-based service strategies for social enterprises that empower people with disabilities, while also providing insights into enhancing the quality of the consumer experience in the context of inclusive music education.

Abstract

This study investigates the usability of the TALENESIA Human Resource Information System (HRIS) through Jakob Nielsen’s heuristic evaluation framework. The evaluation identified 34 usability issues, comprising five critical and 29 major problems. The most commonly violated heuristics included Visibility of System Status, Recognition Rather Than Recall, and Error Prevention, indicating significant barriers to user efficiency and satisfaction. To address these concerns, a series of interface redesigns was developed based on expert recommendations and user-centered design principles. The redesigned interfaces were subsequently validated through structured feedback sessions involving both usability experts and end users. The validation phase revealed that 85% of the proposed changes were fully approved, confirming the practical value of the improvements. These enhancements led to a more intuitive, responsive, and error-tolerant system experience for users. The study highlights the importance of heuristic evaluation as a diagnostic tool and demonstrates how iterative redesign—guided by usability principles—can significantly improve the effectiveness and user experience of HRIS platforms. Ultimately, the research offers both a methodological contribution to usability testing and practical insights for organizations seeking to optimize their digital HR systems.

Abstract

This study investigates KIDI IoT, an educational service by PT Telkom Indonesia designed to bridge the skills gap between Vocational High School (SMK) graduates and the demands of the Industry 4.0 workforce. The primary objective was to assess the extent to which the KIDI IoT service fulfilled the requirements of educators and learners to substantiate its value proposition. A qualitative, exploratory methodology was employed utilizing in-depth interviews and the Value Proposition Canvas (VPC) framework for analysis. The outcomes demonstrate how effectively the program's project-based, experiential approach increases user motivation and offers a practical, industry-relevant learning environment. The service successfully generates the desired customer benefits. A major customer pain point that the current model ignores is that participants often expressed that the two-day offline training period was insufficient to help them master the material or build their confidence for working independently. This led to a significant misalignment. The KIDI IoT value proposition is fundamentally strong and well-regarded; however, the study concludes that its implementation necessitates improvement, particularly through the provision of more specialized teacher training and an extended training duration, to ensure sustained impact and skill acquisition.

Findings: The results provide relevant information on AI-driven knowledge co-creation, operational transformation through AI chatbots, and customer-centric innovation. This analysis yielded three theoretical implications: (1) AI chatbots enable knowledge co-creation that benefits interdepartmental communication and real-time information sharing; (2) AI chatbots transform service operations by addressing knowledge gaps and allowing automation in coordination; and (3) AI-driven personalization fosters customer experiences, which subsequently fosters service innovation in the context of resort management. Implications for Theory and Practice: The study theoretically extends service-dominant logic (SDL) and the technology acceptance model (TAM) by showcasing how AI facilitates co-creation and personalized service. Practically, it offers resort managers actionable insights on leveraging AI to improve operational workflows, service quality, and customer satisfaction. Originality/Value: This study offers a novel contribution by applying the Gioia Methodology within a resort management context. It produces grounded theoretical propositions that can guide future research on AI-driven service innovation. The originality of this work lies not only in the context of SME-based resorts but also in the methodological rigor and development of transferable insights for theory and practice. Keywords: Service innovation, resort management, customer experience, customer-centric innovation, AI chatbot, and design thinking.

Abstract

The culinary industry, as a creative sector of the economy, plays a crucial role in building local economic resilience in Sukabumi City. While it carries great potential, this industry is hampered by continuing issues such as fragmented actor relationships, undeveloped digital infrastructure, a lack of institutional support, and an underdeveloped business ecosystem. This research aims to develop business ecosystem architecture that enables the establishment of an inclusive sustainable food industry through a five-step descriptive qualitative approach: (1) boundary delineation of ecosystems, (2) value mapping of actor roles, (3) value proposition, (4) analysis of interactions, and (5) verification of architecture. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document review of government, culinary entrepreneur, academic, media, and community stakeholders via the Penta Helix framework. Results show that the existing ecosystem remains structurally uncoordinated and functionally inefficient, particularly in terms of data integration, funding avenues, and service accessibility. Applying the five-step model—establishing ecosystem boundaries, mapping actor roles, value propositions, interaction analysis, and architecture verification—a digitally integrated ecosystem design is proposed in this research. The design emphasizes collaborative governance, digital transformation, and actor orchestration to facilitate effective mobilization of resources, information exchange, and co-creation of value. The results contribute to the literature in business ecosystem models and provide local governments, as well as stakeholders, with practical recommendations for strengthening the culinary creative economy industry.
