In implementing smart government, which prioritizes the work system of flexibility, collaboration and agile in IKN through support for digitizing the government system.

"The initial target that can be achieved is the transfer of ASN to prepare for the ceremony to commemorate the 79th Indonesian Independence at IKN in August. Then, followed by the transfer period in November and December 2024," he said.

Anas said, regarding the fulfillment of ASN in IKN, there are a number of ASN competency requirements that will be transferred to IKN. Later, ASN who move to IKN must master literacy (digital literacy), multitasking, master the substance regarding IKN principles and be able to apply the values of AKHLAK (Service Oriented, Accountable, Competent, Harmonious, Loyal, Adaptive and Collaborative).

Therefore, adaptive and collaborative talents need to master digitalization. So, it is ready to encourage the acceleration of government service wheels at IKN," he said.
