Professor Ali Jaafari Gives Lecture at AIT

Dr. Ali Jaafari, Professor and President of the Asia Pacific International College was invited to be the Speaker at the seminar held in AIT on 27 October 2009. The theme of this seminar is “The making of Professional Managers and Leaders: How to succeed on the Face of a Fast Challenging World”. This was attended by Dr. B. H. W. Hadikusumo, Associate Professor and Coordinator, CEIM-SET, some AIT staff and around 35 Ph. D. and M. S. Students of CEIM Field of Study.

About the Lecture

ABSTRACT

Professional people face different career paths to those of the past, when relative certainty and continuity were the norm. The socio-economic and political environments have changed to complex or even chaotic state and continue to challenge even the most hardened managers. Projects and programs have risen in complexity too, due to complex environments, changing goals and conflicting interests. Knowledge increases at a rapid rate and affects all fields of activity. In this environment a normative model of thinking and practice, based on best practice models, can no longer be the foundation of professionality in most fields of endeavour. In this presentation the author will attempt to respond to the following key questions and to raise the level of debate on professional development and practice as well as the role of educational institutions:

 What characterises the contemporary environment within which business, projects and endeavours take shape?

 What are the business and social drivers and how do these affect organisations in both public and private sectors?

 What are the implications for professional people?
 Why is it necessary to promote and apply a new model of professionalism along the concept of transformative leadership?
 Who are creative-reflective professionals, and what characterises them?
 How relevant are these concepts to professionals, classed as techno-management professionals?

The thesis advanced by the author is that most graduates taught under a normative model cannot cope with a fast changing world nor perform professionally well despite all that training that goes to their preparation. They need additional and systemic preparation to develop different competencies and cognitive abilities that will aid them survive or even thrive in an environment of change and uncertainty. This thesis gave rise to the establishment of Asia Pacific International College (APIC) as a unique institution that aims to help both fresh university graduates as well as mature age professionals to acquire new resilience and abilities to rise above the complex challenges facing them. A major pillar of such development is leadership and transformative capabilities.

CEIM join AIT Team to Afghanistan 8-15 March 2008

Dear All

Dr. BHW Hadikusumo joined AIT Team to Afghanistan. The mission of this business trip was to assess the Departments of Balkh University including the Department of Construction.

We arrived in Kabul on Sunday 9 march and continued 7 hours surface travel to Mazara-e Sharif where Balkh University is located.

During the assessment, we really appreciate the cooperativeness of Balkh University's faculty members who really shared to us their actual situation. AIT will assist them to develop a modern curriculum and lab equipment and help the faculty members to implement the curriculum.

Bad and Good news. On our way back to Bangkok, Dr. Hadi and Dr. Guha (from computer science) went to Kabul Airport on Thursday morning 13 March. The Bad news is just before we arrived at the airport, the airport car park was blasted by suicide car bombing. The good news is i can still write this blogspot which means that we were very lucky that we came quite late to the airport because we enjoyed breakfast and chatting at the hotel and waiting the check-out process. Afghan newspaper reported that 8 people were killed during the massive bombing. This bombing happened just one day after the US Military stated that Afghan government controls only 30% of the territory.

Detail of the news can be read from http://www.afghannews.net/index.php?action=show&type=news&id=2715

By the way, Afghanistan is a very beautiful country with high mountain and snow. From Kabul to Mazar-e Sharif, we passed SALANG, a very beautiful landscape.

I upload the photos for you ....

Junior students will have to attend this site visit trip and Senior students are also welcome to join.
