Happy 44th Anniversary Aerofood ACS, Happy Anniversary to all of us.

On December 23, 2018 Aerofood ACS is turning 44 years old, a very mature age for a company. I am sure that we have done so much to keep the company growing and developing. At the age of 44 this year, our production level has reached 120,000 meals per day, a remarkable achievement and pride of the creation of all Aerofood ACS employees.

On this occasion I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all stakeholders, especially Aerofood ACS employees for their dedication. With this mature age, now is the time for us to start looking at far more challenging future. A new era with massive economic and technological changes that cannot be detained. Proven that companies with high innovation and creativity dominate the business development, like Traveloka, Go-Jek, Tokopedia, and other start-up companies competing to create new things beyond the limits of consumer needs. Now it’s time to change!

Being a reflection question for us, what have we done in the spirit of change? Maybe some things are still the same and run as usual, having a Business as Usual (BAU) mindset, maybe even seen as a step back if we look at a further perspective. Daring to get out of your comfort zone is a necessity and necessity.

Have we ever thought, how many times have we felt behind ideas or creativity? Then our competitors suddenly launch new innovations that we never thought about them before and in the end we become upset. If all this time we are satisfied when we able to solve a problem or meet customer demands, then be assured that this is actually not enough.  It is far more challenging to create something new beyond what is needed by the customer. Creating value, beyond customer expectation!

I am very proud to be in the midst of a team that has a high spirit. During these 80 days, collaborating with employees, many ideas have been conveyed. And not a few have been carried out. All employees from various layers were very enthusiastic when talking about how to make this company better in the future. All of this happens because of mindset changing and human capital are the main source of strength.

We need to leave the old mindset to make a better product or service to satisfy customers. It’s time to build a new mindset to find hidden need from customers.

Let’s unite our ranks, believe that we will be able to go through all of this if we work with a sincere heart, continue to build enthusiasm, don’t complain and don’t make excuse, it’s better to fail than not try at all, because failure is the best teacher to make changes.

Don’t be afraid to change and don’t hesitate to create something new for our services and for customers, just do it!

Done is better than perfect (Sheryl Sandberg), but it still doesn’t mean that “done” is just enough, we have to pursue perfection.
If we chase perfection, we can catch excellence (Vince Lombardi).

Finally, once again, happy anniversary Aerofood ACS and congratulations to all of us. Don’t forget to always thank God, the power that has given you the power to make changes. One more, no less important is staying close to the family, because the family is one source of inspiration and strength in work.

At this moment, please allow me to deliver a Happy Christmas for those who celebrate, and Happy New Year 2019!

Always stay young, revive and change our spirit to be better throughout the new year.

Flash back 2018 dan sambut New Normal 2019

Tahun 2018 sudah berlalu dan mari kita sambut tahun 2019 dengan suka cita. Banyak hal sudah kita lalui, membuat suatu yang baru, mendapati surprise, kegembiraan dan juga kesedihan. Pentingnya kita untuk mempelajari masa lalu (flash back), dan mengambil hikmah untuk masa depan yang lebih baik.

Secara umum, kinerja Aerofood tahun 2018 membaik dibanding tahun sebelumnya dengan pertumbuhan 6% (Revenue per November 2018), namun yang perlu dicatat bahwa dalam rentang 3 tahun terakhir banyak tantangan bisnis yang kita hadapi. Hal ini akan semakin meneguhkan tekad kita untuk semakin solid menghadapi perubahan dinamika bisnis, pantang menyerah dan selalu bersemangat untuk menciptakan yang baru.

Meminjam istilah yang sering dilontarkan oleh DZ, bahwa saat ini kita harus siap menghadapi Kenormalan Baru (New Normal), dimana bisnis harus mampu menciptakan more for less economy, menyatukan yang sama dan mengurangi duplikasi. Perubahan perilaku ekonomi ini didukung dengan perkembangan teknologi yang menciptakan keefisienan nyaris tanpa batas, dengan teknologi digital kita dipaksa untuk menggunakan asset sesedikit mungkin agar mendapatkan manfaat sebesar besarnya.

Trend saat ini, pesaing tidak lagi datang dari perusahaan sejenis, tapi justru dari usaha rintisan yang tiba-tiba datang tanpa diduga dan bisa mangancam petahana. Tentunya kita ingat fenomena Go-jek, Tokopedia, Traveloka dan lainnya yang kemunculannya secara tiba tiba mampu merontokkan kejumawaan petahana. Ini adalah fenomena new normal yang saat ini kita hadapi tanpa bisa dihindari, terlepas kita suka atau tidak suka.

Sebagai flash back 2018, saya mengajak rekan rekan semua untuk menjadikan tahun ini sebagai penanda menguatnya peran Aerofood di industri catering. Banyak milestone atau masterpiece yang sudah kita capai, namun banyak pula yang harus kita perbaiki khususnya dalam hal mengatasi resiko bisnis. Hal ini penting untuk kita selalu mawas diri dan terus melakukan transformasi, hanya dengan sikap mau menerima perubahan dan belajar dari pengalaman, kita tidak ingin mengulang kesalahan yang sama. Jangan ragu untuk melangkah (berubah), mari rapatkan barisan, satukan langkah untuk menghadapi hari esok yang lebih baik.

Selamat Tahun Baru 2019, Selamat menikmati New Normal.
