Representing UNDIP Rector, Prof. Heru, Vice Rector II of UNDIP, expressed his gratitude for the assistance that has been given in order to prepare UNDIP towards the WBK/WBBM area. Many efforts have been made towards WBK/WBBM with 8 (eight) steps so that the program runs efficiently and optimally. The first step is change of management by holding workshops and training. The second step is strengthening the HR management system by developing information systems and coaching state civil apparatus (ASN). The third step is organizational/institutional strengthening, by compiling Rector’s Regulation on the Organization and Work Procedures of the Elements under the Rector, in effective and efficient way as ‘a simple structure but rich in functions’. The fourth step is strengthening laws and regulations by making regulations that encourage the achievement of WBK/WBBM. The fifth step is strengthening governance by compiling business maps, e-government, e-office. The sixth step is strengthening the supervision system. The seventh step is performance accountability, and the eighth step is strengthening public services by providing Integrated Service Unit (Unit Layanan Terpadu/ULT) facility to manage complaints, to improve service excellence, and to conduct satisfaction survey of the community and other stakeholders. Moreover, to build WBK/WBBM there needs to build integrity. “It is hoped that all employees, especially those who hold structural and functional positions to not only have competence and skills, but also have high integrity as an effort to prevent irregularities and corrupt practices”, explained Prof. Heru.
In line with the ideas mentioned, Dean of Faculty of Engineering, Prof. Ir. M. Agung Wibowo, MM, MSc, PhD. expressed the pride of Faculty of Engineering being selected as a pilot project towards WBK/WBBM 2020. Many things are done, such as morning roll calls, prayers, and morning cheerful chants. Besides that, there is also staff and official rotation programs to minimize gaps or deviations just in case if they occupy a particular place or position for too long period.
