JAKARTA - SOE Minister Erick Thohir announced the establishment of the SOE Leadership and Management Institute (BLMI) which is ready to build world-class SOE leaders based on morals.

"The transformation effort launched by the Ministry of SOE for SOE companies to become accountable, professional, and world-class companies, is not possible without the transformation of human capital. That's why we built a program that is not ad hoc, but structured, comprehensive, and sustainable, namely SOE Leadership and Management Institute", said Erick Thohir in his official statement in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Monday, June 7.

Erick hopes that this will be a joint seriousness that will continue to be maintained, considering that future demands to compete are very high in the midst of changes and an increasingly open market.

"That's why we have to be the best. Remember, each Director and Commissioner is not only ready to be appointed, but must be ready to learn and transform to have world-class leadership capabilities, also ready to be removed if they do not meet the KPIs, and are not in line with the core values of Key Performance Indicators and Good Corporate Governance", said Erick Thohir.

The Ministry of SOEs on Monday, June 7 announced the establishment of BLMI, a center for research, innovation, collaboration, and management and leadership development in all SOE clusters, to build leadership capabilities in SOEs.

The Ministry of SOEs has appointed Mandiri Corporate University as the coordinator, for universities from Telkom, Pertamina, and WIKA in building roadmaps and leadership development programs ranging from new entry-level, first-level managers, to the level of directors and commissioners/supervisors.

The initial focus of this leadership development will start from the commissioners/supervisors and directors by cooperating with leading local and global business schools as strategic partners such as the Indonesian Institute of Corporate Directors (IICD) for the Onboarding Commissioner Program and the Commissioner Learning School, IPMI International Business School for the Onboarding Directorship Program, INSEAD and the Indonesian Banking Development Institute (LPPI) for the Chief Financial Officer School, Michigan Ross School of Business, and the Indonesian Human Capital Forum (FHCI) for the Chief Human Capital Officer School program, as well as IMD Business School for the CEO Learning Forum program.

BLMI has started its inaugural activity in January 2021 with the implementation of the 1st Batch Onboarding Directorship Program. On Wednesday this week, June 9, BLMI will simultaneously start the 2nd Batch of the Onboarding Directorship Program and the First Batch of the Onboarding Commissioner Program.
