I participated in the IATSS Forum program at first, aiming to find out about how the Japanese could achieve progress in science, technology and the manufacturing industry, particularly in the transportation industry. But it turns out that I get far greater than that. In IATSS Forum, I learned and gained experience in understanding culture, in addition to the typical Japanese work and decision-making process: good planning, gradual but fast and harmonious. I applied this value in leading BPPT with the principle of accelerating change but remaining in harmony with the values ​​that had been built by previous leaders. Now, as rector of the Institute of Technology Indonesia (ITI), I remain applying it.

I hope that this forum will continue as a learning together forum for our future leaders.
