A bilateral cooperation between the governments of Singapore and Indonesia has been established to accelerate the digital transformation process in the manufacturing industry sector. The collaboration aims to develop human resources (HR) so that the resulting quality can boost competitiveness and productivity.
As part of the initiative to improve the competency of human resources, the governments of Singapore and Indonesia officially formed a bilateral partnership. Specifically, this cooperation is focused on accelerating the digital transformation in the manufacturing industry, ensuring HR quality meets the demands of Industry 4.0.
On Indonesia’s side, the cooperation is represented by the Industrial Human Resource Development Agency (BPSDMI). Singapore is represented by the Temasek Foundation and the Singapore Institute of Technical Education Service (ITEES).
In practice, BPSDMI and ITEES have conducted a number of training and education programs to accelerate transformation in the Industry 4.0 era, involving 51 vocational high schools (SMK) under various ministries.
Businesses Still Struggle to Implement Digital Transformation
While the government’s HR development initiative is commendable, real-world conditions show that many business actors are still struggling to adapt to the demands of Industry 4.0 — particularly the shift to digital or online systems in all operational aspects.
According to data from the World Economic Forum Competitiveness (WEFC), Indonesia ranks 45th in terms of readiness for Industry 4.0.
This challenge is not limited to local businesses. Even internationally, many companies have failed to carry out digital transformation successfully. A study by Boston Consulting Group found that 70% of companies do not achieve their desired outcomes in digital transformation.
Further analysis by McKinsey reveals that the key challenge lies in the execution of digital transformation plans. Common obstacles include:
-
Gaps between digital tools and employee skills
-
Weak accountability
-
Inadequate managerial capabilities
-
Poor coordination and communication between departments
These findings indicate that the main barrier to successful digital transformation is HR readiness, both among employees and management.
