To disseminate knowledge and strengthen the collaboration among the academicians, Master and Doctor of Science in Management, SBM ITB organized MSM DSM Lounge entitled “Performance Management System in Financial & ICT Sector.”
Held online, the forum was attended by Dr. Sinta Aryani, a lecturer at Telkom University and Hendy Santosa Sundoro, a project manager at Evermos. Both speakers explained their research papers regarding performance management systems in the financial and ICT sector to the audience.
Dr. Sinta Aryani, through her presentation entitled “The Relationship of Financial Factors in Asset Pricing,” revealed that there is still public fear in buying stock. Indeed, in buying stock, we will face many risks, and many people are wondering how to build a high-performance portfolio investment.
Therefore, through her study, Sinta tried to analyze the factors influencing buying stock on the financial side. As a result, people can have knowledge about stocks and try to invest in stocks.“ I want people to get to know stocks and start investing in stocks,” Sinta said on Friday (17/12/2021).
Sinta, a graduate of DSM SBM ITB, mentioned that the implication of her study would be useful for financial investors in building an effective portfolio stock investment. Then, by applying the model proposed by Sinta, the investors could effectively manage their portfolio return.
Hendy Santosa Sundoro then presented his research about performance management systems in the Information and Communication Technologies ICT sector. Hendy tried to explore the misalignment between business and IT in his paper.
“Why is business and IT hard to align?” Hendy questioning. Through his research, Hendy found that three main factors contributed to the misalignment between business and InformationTechnology (IT).
First is the gap between the employee’s core competencies and the technology (human factors). It was discovered that IT staff’s inability to keep up with innovation would preclude IT from converting business requirements into technological solutions.
Then, Hendy said that the organization did not implement appropriate enterprise architecture, so that business strategy was not supported sufficiently by their IT system (enterprise architecture factors). Lastly, the factor causing misalignment between business and IT is the lack of capacity to quantify IT contribution to the company (IT project implementation factor).
From these three factors, Hendy then split into 12 subfactors that organizations should pay attention to when aligning business and IT.
“Business and IT managers should also take advantage of these study findings by evaluating any 12 misalignment factors in their workspace,” said Hendy, who is an alumnus of MSM SBM ITB.
