On the final day of GNAM Week 2023 in Indonesia, today’s agenda kicks out with group discussions at 8 a.m. in the Ballroom, first floor of the Swiss-Belinn Solo Hotel’s MM FEB UI Room 1 and MM FEB UI Room 2. The participants talked about how to respond to queries and prepare presentations as they sat in their groups.
After lunch, the event resumed, and the group presentations started at 13.00. In the room’s division, specifically:
MM FEB UI Room 1: Groups 1-4 were assessed by Mrs Yeshika Alversia, M. Sc. and Mr. Arviansyah, Ph.D. and MM FEB UI Room 2: Groups 5-8 were assessed by Mr. Jonathan Marpaung, Ph.D. and Mr. Daniel Tumpal, Ph.D.
The event at Ballroom FEB 1 commenced under the guidance of Mr. Arviansyah, Ph.D., wherein the presentation order for the groups was randomized. Following the random selection, the order for the groups was determined as Group 2, Group 4, Group 1, and finally, Group 3. Each group was allocated approximately 15 minutes for their presentations, which would be followed by questions and comments from the judges, Mr. Arviansyah, Ph.D., and Mrs. Yeshika Alversia, M. Sc., in the Ballroom FEB 1. The event proceeded smoothly, with all groups presenting their unique ideas in response to the overarching question posed by the GN Week 2023 assignment: How can their respective groups provide ideas for the implementation of digital transformation in a particular industry? Notably, Group 1 adopted an unconventional presentation style, opting for a talk show concept. This approach led to group members engaging in a dialogue by posing questions to one another during their presentation.
The process of group presentations got underway in MM FEB UI room 2 under the direction of Mr. Jonathan Marpaung, Ph.D. The presentation groups that will be present are chosen at random. Starting from group 6, group 7, group 5, and finally group 8 are listed in order. Each group will have roughly 15 minutes to present the findings before a 5-minute Q&A. TheĀ other groups can ask and respond to questions.
