CIREBON – Dayalima Group participated as a panelist at the Rebana CEO Club held on Monday, May 4, 2026, at Aston Cirebon Hotel & Convention Center. Initiated by the Badan Pengelola Kawasan Rebana, the strategic forum brought together leaders from industry, education, and workforce development sectors to discuss the future of the workforce ecosystem in the Rebana region.
Representing Dayalima Group, Daniel Tumiwa delivered insights in a session titled “Bridging the Gap Between Workforce Supply and Industry Needs.” The discussion focused on one of the most pressing challenges in industrial growth today: ensuring that workforce development and talent preparation remain aligned with the rapidly evolving needs of industry.
As the Rebana region continues to grow as one of Indonesia’s emerging industrial corridors, the demand for industry-ready talent is increasing significantly. However, many organizations continue to face challenges related to workforce readiness, skills gaps, employability, and talent acquisition. This highlights the urgent need for a more connected and data-driven talent ecosystem capable of supporting sustainable industrial development.
During the session, Dayalima Group emphasized that workforce development should not only focus on recruitment, but also on building a sustainable talent ecosystem that connects industry demand, educational institutions, workforce planning, and employability initiatives.
A strong talent ecosystem enables organizations to:
According to Dayalima Group, collaboration between industry stakeholders and educational institutions plays a critical role in reducing the gap between workforce supply and industry needs. By aligning curriculum development, employability training, and workforce planning strategies with actual market demand, organizations can build a more scalable and future-ready workforce ecosystem.
One of the key highlights of the discussion was the introduction of the dayarebana.id platform, a digital initiative designed to support workforce planning and talent ecosystem development across the Rebana region.
The platform aims to help industries, educational institutions, and workforce stakeholders collaborate more transparently through:
By leveraging technology and workforce data, companies can improve recruitment efficiency while minimizing dependency on informal intermediaries. At the same time, educational institutions can better understand industry requirements and prepare graduates with more relevant competencies and employability skills.
This integrated approach supports not only recruitment transformation, but also broader workforce development initiatives that contribute to sustainable economic growth.
As industrial investment in the Rebana region continues to expand, strategic workforce planning becomes increasingly important for long-term business sustainability. Companies require greater visibility into workforce availability, future skill requirements, and talent supply readiness.
Dayalima Group highlighted that workforce planning is no longer limited to operational hiring needs. Instead, organizations are now expected to develop proactive workforce strategies that anticipate industry transformation, technological disruption, and changing labor market dynamics.
A future-ready workforce ecosystem requires:
These elements are essential to ensuring that industrial growth is supported by qualified, adaptable, and industry-relevant talent.
The discussion at the Rebana CEO Club also reinforced the importance of cross-sector collaboration in strengthening workforce readiness across the region. Sustainable workforce development cannot be achieved by a single institution alone. Instead, it requires active participation from industry leaders, educational institutions, government agencies, and workforce development partners.
By encouraging organizations to contribute workforce demand data and participate in talent development initiatives, the forum demonstrated a shared commitment to building a more inclusive, scalable, and sustainable workforce ecosystem for the future.
The collaboration is expected to help accelerate:
Through its participation at the Rebana CEO Club, Dayalima Group reaffirmed its commitment to supporting workforce development and talent ecosystem transformation in Indonesia. The company believes that sustainable economic growth depends not only on infrastructure investment, but also on the readiness and quality of human capital behind it.
By integrating workforce planning, employability programs, AI-powered solutions, and strategic collaboration, Dayalima Group continues to support organizations in preparing a future-ready workforce capable of meeting evolving industry demands in the Rebana region and beyond.
Dayalima Group addressed the challenges of hybrid work through a Bukapintu session titled “Managing Performance Anywhere, Anytime,” hosted by Dayainara together with MyKlola at its Mega Kuningan office in Jakarta on Wednesday, 15 April 2026. Bringing together business leaders and HR professionals, the forum explored a critical evolution in organizational growth: the shift toward a Data/AI-Driven Performance System. As remote and hybrid work models become the standard, the session emphasized that maintaining high standards no longer requires physical proximity, but rather a sophisticated integration of technology and talent strategy that bridges flexibility with accountability.
On 15 April 2026, Dayainara collaborated with MyKlola to host a Buka Pintu session titled “Managing Performance Anywhere, Anytime” at its Mega Kuningan office. The event responded to the evolving landscape of the modern workplace, particularly in managing performance across locations.
The forum brought together business leaders and HR professionals to explore a critical evolution in organizational growth, namely the shift toward a Data/AI-Driven Performance System.
As remote and hybrid work models become the standard, the session emphasized that maintaining high work standards no longer requires physical proximity. What is needed instead is a sophisticated integration of technology and talent strategy.
Hybrid work challenges in Indonesia generally revolve around how to ensure accountability without sacrificing flexibility—and this is the gap addressed by a data-driven approach.
Featuring insights from Komal Jawad (Business Unit Director at Dayainara) and Alex Gaspersz (IT Director at MyKLOLA), the discussion centered on how data acts as a bridge between flexibility and accountability.
The speakers emphasized that to ‘elevate business and talent,’ organizations must move away from subjective monitoring toward objective, real-time insight. This data-driven HR approach empowers employees to thrive regardless of their work location.
By combining Dayalima’s expertise as a people strategist group with cutting-edge digital frameworks, the seminar provided a roadmap for the future of leadership. The core message was clear: in a borderless work era, success is defined by a system that supports performance at every touchpoint.
A data-driven performance system ensures excellence can be achieved anywhere and anytime—making technology a support for, rather than a replacement of, the human relationships in performance management.
Dayainara is part of Dayalima Group, a people strategist group that combines talent strategy with technology to drive business growth. The collaboration with MyKlola reaffirms Dayalima’s commitment to delivering performance solutions relevant to the realities of hybrid work in Indonesia.

Dayalima Recruitment highlighted the importance of leadership skills across generations in an exclusive executive session, “Appreciation Breakfast: Leading Across Generations,” at its Mega Kuningan office in Jakarta on Wednesday, 8 April 2026. Bringing together high-level talents, the forum addressed one of the most pressing challenges in the modern corporate landscape: managing a multigenerational workforce. The session emphasized that leadership is evolving from a directive role into a dynamic of shared experiences—requiring leaders not merely to manage, but to bridge diverse perspectives through practical discussion and intentional connection.
On 8 April 2026, Dayalima Recruitment hosted an exclusive executive session, “Appreciation Breakfast: Leading Across Generations,” at its Mega Kuningan office. The event brought together high-level talents to navigate one of the most pressing challenges in the modern corporate landscape: the multigenerational workforce.
Curated for executive leaders, the session explored how leadership is evolving from a directive role into a dynamic of shared experiences.
As workplace demographics shift, the workshop emphasized that leadership across generations requires more than management ability. Leaders need to bridge diverse perspectives through practical discussion and intentional connection.
Managing a Gen Z workforce alongside earlier generations demands adaptive leadership skills—the ability to understand the different motivations, work styles, and expectations of each age group.
The discussion was led by Daniel Tumiwa, CEO of Dayalima Group, and moderated by Santi Dharmaputra, Group Head of Dayalima Recruitment. Together, they emphasized that in an era of rapid transformation, leaders must be equipped to navigate complex leadership dynamics by fostering an environment of mutual appreciation.
Leadership skills for the future are no longer about authority but about the ability to create resonance—building alignment among individuals across generations.
By combining Dayalima’s strategic people insights with peer-to-peer executive dialogue, organizations can develop leaders who bridge age gaps while leveraging them to create a more cohesive and innovative future.
Ultimately, leadership is about the resonance created between people—not merely instructions flowing from the top down.

Dayalima Recruitment, the Dayalima Group business unit focused on Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), successfully held a virtual HR workshop titled “The Hidden Cost of DIY Recruitment” on 13 March 2026. Designed specifically for companies in a scaling phase, the 45-minute workshop opened the eyes of CHROs, VPs of HR, and Heads of Talent Acquisition to the major losses often overlooked due to unstructured recruitment. Led by Padma Pionir Ryuputra, Head of Outsourcing Business, the session introduced The DRAIN Model—an exclusive framework for identifying five recruitment leakage points: Delay, Rework, Attrition, Inefficiency, and Network Damage.
Amid intense talent competition, Dayalima Recruitment delivered an intensive educational session for HR and business leaders. The workshop targeted companies in a scaling phase—those expanding, opening branches, or accelerating headcount growth—with a segment of CHROs, VPs of HR, Heads of Talent Acquisition, and Leadership Teams from companies of 200 to 2,000 employees.
Global and domestic data paint a concerning picture: 94% of companies in Indonesia struggle to recruit and retain professionals, average time-to-fill reaches 42–60 days, and 74% of companies admit to having made a wrong hire, with potential losses of up to IDR 2.3 billion per bad hire.
The workshop challenged three beliefs that actually worsen the problem. The first myth, “recruitment is just about posting jobs and screening CVs”—in fact, more than 70% of top talent is passive and requires proactive sourcing and candidate nurturing.
The second myth, “in-house recruitment is always cheaper”—yet when fully accounted for, costs can be 2–3 times higher; one energy client that initially calculated IDR 4.2 billion found the figure reached IDR 14.1 billion after a thorough audit. The third myth, “what matters is filling the position quickly”—speed without quality of hire actually creates an increasingly costly turnover cycle.
The workshop’s highlight was the introduction of The DRAIN Model, Dayalima Recruitment’s exclusive framework for identifying five leakage points. D — Delay: revenue lost every day a strategic position remains vacant. R — Rework: the cost of re-recruiting after a bad hire who leaves within the first six months. A — Attrition: the domino effect of vacant positions and overloaded teams until top performers resign.
I — Inefficiency: hiring managers spending 30–40% of their time on recruitment rather than growing the business. N — Network Damage: a slow, unprofessional process that permanently damages employer brand. Through a Flash Audit, participants calculated their company’s DRAIN Score; a score of 18–25 is categorized as critical.
Participants were introduced to a paradigm shift from reactive recruitment toward Strategic Talent Acquisition—where recruitment is no longer an operational HR task but a strategic business function measured through quality-of-hire and retention metrics. This data-driven HR approach forms the foundation of modern recruitment.
Dayalima Recruitment proved its claims with a tangible track record: 531 positions filled over 4 years in the energy sector, 300+ positions in oil and gas, and 44 positions in 5 months in fintech, reaching 110% of target. One of its greatest achievements was Rapid Hiring for a telecommunications company—260 positions in 10 weeks, covering 38 job types across 14 locations, fully virtual.
This approach was replicated at a regional scale: 5,000+ positions across 11 countries with a 50% reduction in time-to-fill and hiring manager and candidate satisfaction reaching 4.5 out of 5. Padma’s key message: stop patching leaks, start building pipelines.

Daya Dimensi Indonesia, a business unit of Dayalima Group, successfully held an online workshop on workplace wellbeing titled “WARNING: High Performer, High Risk” on 13 February 2026. Led by clinical psychologist Bima Pusaka Semedhi, the 60-minute session uncovered the real financial cost of hustle culture and burnout that often escapes HR calculations. The workshop introduced The Burnout Iceberg—a model showing that only 10% of the problem is visible on the surface while 90% remains hidden, such as presenteeism and decision fatigue. As a solution, Daya Dimensi Indonesia presented its 3 Pillars of Workplace Wellbeing framework: Prevent & Promote, Protect, and Support & Respond for systematic, proactive intervention.
Led by Bima Pusaka Semedhi, a Senior Consultant and clinical psychologist, the workshop opened with a pointed question: in your organization, is overtime seen as a sign of dedication? Bima then debunked three myths still widely believed.
The first myth, that employees who work overtime are the productive ones—Stanford research shows productivity per hour drops significantly after 50 hours of work per week. The second myth, that burnout is a personal problem—yet WHO classifies it as an occupational phenomenon with losses of US$4,000 to US$21,000 per employee per year. The third myth, that as long as no one has resigned the team is fine—yet Gallup data shows 62% of employees experience disengagement while still showing up.
The workshop’s central framework was The Burnout Iceberg, a visual model depicting the gap between what HR sees and what is actually happening. Only about 10% of the problem surfaces: turnover figures, formal complaints, and spikes in sick leave.
The remaining 90% lies hidden beneath the surface: presenteeism, silent disengagement, decision fatigue, near-miss incidents, hidden rework costs, and flight risk. The workshop specifically highlighted the dangers of decision fatigue for supervisors, managers, and teams handling safety-critical operations.
The workshop was reinforced by a real case study from heavy industry—an operations team called the “best team” because they were always available and never complained. Yet over four months, the team worked an average of 60–70 hours per week without adequate leave.
The result: three serious near-miss incidents in three consecutive months, all on the night shift. Investigation found the root cause was not SOPs, training, or equipment, but decision fatigue from chronic exhaustion—at assessment, 80% of team members already showed burnout symptoms. For an organization of 500 employees, the hidden cost of burnout could exceed US$4.5 million per year.
As a solution, Daya Dimensi Indonesia introduced the 3 Pillars of Workplace Wellbeing framework. First, Prevent & Promote—early detection through wellbeing assessment, psychosocial risk assessment, and awareness sessions. Second, Protect—building capability through fatigue management training, stress management, and manager capability building.
Third, Support & Respond—intervention when problems arise, including individual counselling, group counselling, and crisis intervention. Five quick wins were also shared, ranging from stay interviews to auditing actual working hours.
The workshop emphasized a core message: a reactive approach—waiting until someone resigns before acting—is no longer an adequate standard. Proactively prioritizing mental health at work is proven to protect productivity, reduce hidden costs, and retain high performers.

Dayalima Group menempatkan employee retention sebagai agenda utama saat menyelenggarakan “CALIBRATE: Executive Peer Insight Exchange”, sesi tertutup eksklusif bagi para CEO dan pemimpin korporasi di Harris Suites fX Sudirman, Jakarta, pada Rabu, 11 Maret 2026. Dikemas sebagai Pre-Iftar gathering, forum ini menghadirkan premis yang menggugah: talenta terbaik Anda mungkin sudah menyiapkan rencana keluar tanpa Anda sadari. Dipimpin Daniel Tumiwa, CEO Dayalima Group, diskusi mengupas “Leadership Realities in 2026”—ketika talent management tradisional gagal mengimbangi laju turnover modern, mulai dari penemuan salah rekrut di bulan keenam hingga kesenjangan antara investasi pelatihan dan retensi karyawan.
CALIBRATE dirancang sebagai sesi closed-door yang mempertemukan sekelompok terkurasi CEO dan pemimpin korporasi dalam suasana Pre-Iftar gathering. Berlangsung di Harris Suites fX Sudirman, Jakarta, forum ini menjadi ruang aman bagi para eksekutif untuk membahas tantangan talenta yang jarang dibicarakan secara terbuka.
Dipimpin Daniel Tumiwa, CEO Dayalima Group, dan difasilitasi para praktisi senior Dayalima, diskusi menyoroti kegagalan sistemik yang kritis—dari fenomena ‘six-month discovery’ atas salah rekrut hingga jurang yang melebar antara investasi pelatihan dan retensi karyawan yang sesungguhnya.
Sesi ini mengangkat tema “Leadership Realities in 2026”, sebuah pengakuan bahwa talent management tradisional kerap gagal mengimbangi laju turnover modern. Banyak organisasi baru menyadari kesalahan rekrutmen setelah enam bulan—saat biaya sudah terlanjur besar dan dampaknya menyebar ke tim.
Premis utama yang dihadapkan kepada peserta sangat menggugah: talenta terbaik Anda mungkin sudah memiliki rencana keluar. Cara meningkatkan employee retention karenanya tidak bisa lagi mengandalkan intuisi, melainkan harus berbasis sistem yang koheren di sepanjang siklus talenta.
Inti pertukaran gagasan berpusat pada empat Executive Roundtable Chapters yang secara sistematis membedah talent lifecycle. Pendekatan ini membantu para pemimpin melihat retensi bukan sebagai peristiwa tunggal, melainkan rangkaian titik kritis yang saling terhubung.
Chapter pertama, HIRE, menganalisis mengapa orang yang salah masuk ke organisasi. Chapter kedua, ACTIVATE, menyoroti enam bulan pertama sebagai periode make-or-break bagi talenta baru. Chapter ketiga, SUCCESSION, menjelaskan mengapa top performer justru kerap menjadi yang pertama pergi—isu yang berkaitan erat dengan succession planning.
Chapter keempat, INTEGRATION, mengungkap mengapa blind spot organisasi baru terlihat setelah sebuah pengunduran diri terjadi. Keempat chapter ini membentuk peta utuh tentang di mana kebocoran retensi sesungguhnya bermula.
Melampaui teori, workshop ini membekali peserta dengan Talent Lifecycle Framework yang actionable serta Talent Scorecard yang dipersonalisasi. Tujuan utamanya adalah beranjak dari budaya onboarding ‘figure it out’ menuju keadaan systemic coherence.
Dengan membandingkan insight terhadap rata-rata industri, para pemimpin dibekali kemampuan mentransformasi proses talenta mereka dari silo-silo yang terputus menjadi strategi terpadu yang mengamankan pertumbuhan jangka panjang.
Dayalima Group adalah people strategist group yang membantu organisasi mengoptimalkan potensi manusia melalui pendekatan berbasis sains dan data.

Apa itu fenomena ‘six-month discovery’?
Kondisi ketika organisasi baru menyadari kesalahan rekrutmen setelah sekitar enam bulan, saat biaya dan dampaknya pada tim sudah terlanjur besar.
Apa saja empat chapter talent lifecycle dalam CALIBRATE?
Hire (mengapa orang salah masuk), Activate (enam bulan pertama yang kritis), Succession (mengapa top performer pergi lebih dulu), dan Integration (blind spot yang baru terlihat setelah resign).
Bagaimana cara meningkatkan employee retention menurut sesi ini?
Dengan beralih dari onboarding ‘figure it out’ menuju systemic coherence, didukung Talent Lifecycle Framework dan Talent Scorecard yang dibandingkan terhadap rata-rata industri.

On 4 March 2026, Dayalima Group hosted an exclusive executive workshop at its Pakuwon Center office in Surabaya, featuring Daniel Tumiwa, CEO of Dayalima Group, for a high-impact session. The “Ramadan Special” workshop was titled “Beyond the Hustle: Creating a Business That Grows Without Dependence.”
Attended by business owners and corporate leaders, the session addressed a critical hurdle in organizational scaling: the bottleneck of founder-centric decision-making.
In an era where agility is paramount, Daniel argued that the greatest risk to a company’s growth is often the very person who started it. Many businesses remain ‘stuck’ because teams cannot function without constant direction from the owner.
The workshop emphasized that true leadership is defined by the ability to build systems that outlast one’s own daily involvement—the essence of mature leadership development.
The session focused on a strategic transition from being a hands-on operator to a ‘strategic architect.’ This shift requires business owners to let go of micromanagement and move toward a state of systemic coherence.
The importance of leadership development is clear here: leaders who grow are those who build team capability rather than continually serving as the center of every decision.
By combining Daniel Tumiwa’s extensive cross-industry experience with Dayalima’s ‘System Driven Growth Blueprint,’ participants were equipped to map business bottlenecks and implement delegation frameworks that maintain quality without burnout.
The core message is clear: a business only truly begins to grow once it is no longer dependent on a single individual.
Dayalima Group is a people strategist group that helps organizations build sustainable leaders and systems. Through executive workshops like the one in Surabaya, Dayalima supports business owners in transforming from operators into strategic architects able to scale their businesses healthily.
“Beyond the Hustle: Creating a Business That Grows Without Dependence”—on building a business that grows without depending on the founder.
A condition where a business cannot run without the owner’s constant direction, making the founder the greatest obstacle to growth.
Dayalima’s framework for mapping business bottlenecks and implementing delegation frameworks that maintain quality without burnout.
Because sustainable growth requires leaders to build systems and team capability that outlast their daily involvement.
DLABS, the Dayalima Group business unit focused on building business capacity, successfully held a virtual leadership workshop titled “WARNING: The Harder You Work, The More Your Business Depends on You” on 23 February 2026. Featuring Business & Executive Coach Prijono Nugroho, who brings over 25 years of experience, the workshop unpacked a paradox founders often face: the harder they work, the more the business depends on them. The interactive session debunked three delegation myths that trap business owners and introduced the Systemization → Operation → Profit framework—a practical roadmap so a business runs independently, the owner gains time freedom, and growth becomes scalable and sustainable.
The workshop opened with a paradox business owners often experience: the harder a founder works, the more the business depends on them. This is not a sign of dedication but a warning signal indicating the absence of a solid business system.
The data presented was striking: 65% of business owners more often lose sleep over business matters than personal ones (Gallagher Survey, 2025), and 66% do not yet have adequate systems to manage their business (Mastercard Small Business Barometer, 2024). Without systems, it is not the owner who controls the business, but the business that controls the owner’s life.
Coach Prijono debunked three myths that trap many business owners. The first myth, “if you want it done right, do it yourself”—this belief is actually a sign of a trust deficit, not a high standard. The distinction between working IN the business and working ON the business became a turning point for many participants.
The second myth, “my team isn’t ready yet”—yet a team will never be ready without room to grow, which requires a system built on Clarity, Trust, and Accountability. The third myth, “I can only let go once the business is big enough”—actually creates a trap loop. Coach Prijono stressed: the business becomes ready because you delegate, not the other way around.
The workshop introduced a structured roadmap that forms the foundation of DLABS’ Business Coaching program. Step one, Systemization—building systems across four areas: technology, delivery & distribution, measurement, and people development. Step two, Operation—optimizing five business levers: lead generation, conversion rate, number of transactions, average sale value, and profit margin.
Step three, Profit—the end result of a business that runs independently, an owner with time freedom, and scalable growth. The key message is simple: build the system, run the operation, reap the profit.
What sets the DLABS workshop apart from an ordinary webinar is its level of interaction. Participants conducted a “Are You the Bottleneck?” Flash Audit with three diagnostic questions on a 0–5 scale, measuring how far the business can run without the owner’s direct involvement.
The session continued with a Delegation Reality Check, a Breakout Room Peer Wisdom exercise, and a Future Visualization—imagining the state of the business six months ahead, with a phone no longer full of approval notifications and time to think strategically rather than merely execute operations.
Prijono Nugroho is a Business & Executive Coach with a track record of more than 25 years as a senior leader in the banking industry. He earned the title World’s #1 Coach (2011 & 2012), ActionCOACH Global Hall of Fame Member (2015), and Engage & Grow Global Coach of the Year (2019). With an approach grounded in behaviour, mindset, and measurable performance, he has helped hundreds of companies improve profitability and prepare to scale up.

Daya Dimensi Indonesia brought a fresh perspective on transformational leadership by hosting Richard Barrett, a renowned thought leader and pioneer of the “7 Levels of Consciousness” model, for an exclusive workshop at its Mega Kuningan office in Jakarta on Monday, 9 February 2026. Attended by cross-industry leaders, the session explored a critical paradigm shift called Frequency-Based Leadership. In an era when traditional models are increasingly strained by global complexity, Barrett argued that the modern world no longer requires ‘louder’ leaders but ‘truer’ ones—leadership defined not by role, but by resonance.
On 9 February 2026, Daya Dimensi Indonesia was honored to host Richard Barrett—a renowned thought leader and pioneer of the “7 Levels of Consciousness” model for corporate culture and individual growth—for an exclusive workshop at its Mega Kuningan office.
Attended by cross-industry leaders, the session explored a critical paradigm shift called Frequency-Based Leadership.
In an era when traditional models are increasingly strained by global complexity, Barrett argued that the modern world no longer requires ‘louder’ leaders but ‘truer’ ones. The workshop emphasized that leadership is no longer defined by a role, but by resonance.
Because people respond to a leader’s presence before their position, what a leader transmits energetically often carries more weight than what they say. This is the essence of the transformational leadership Barrett brings.
Barrett’s concept of ‘Inner Architecture’ teaches that true influence is felt before it is understood. This requires leaders to move from a state of control to a state of coherence—from controlling to aligning.
This approach affirms that transformational leadership is not merely a technique but an inner journey that shapes how a leader is present and influences others.
By combining Richard Barrett’s visionary framework with Daya Dimensi Indonesia’s strategic implementation, organizations can develop leaders who do more than manage systems—they transform them through their very presence.
The core message is clear: leadership ultimately begins from within. True organizational transformation is rooted in the personal transformation of its leaders.
Daya Dimensi Indonesia is a business unit of Dayalima Group focused on leadership development and organizational transformation. By hosting global thinkers like Richard Barrett, Dayalima reaffirms its commitment to bringing the latest transformational leadership perspectives to leaders in Indonesia.
A renowned thought leader and pioneer of the “7 Levels of Consciousness” model for corporate culture and individual growth, hosted by Daya Dimensi Indonesia for an exclusive workshop.
A leadership paradigm emphasizing that a leader’s influence is determined by resonance and energetic presence, not merely by role or authority.
Barrett’s idea that true influence is felt before it is understood, requiring leaders to move from a state of control to a state of coherence.
As an inner journey that changes how a leader is present—leadership that transforms systems through presence, not merely manages them.
Indonesia’s first doctoral-level assessment center research challenges assumptions long held to be true about how organizations choose their leaders. Dr. Maharani Syahratu Kertapati, Future of Work Group Head at Daya Dimensi Indonesia, completed her dissertation at the Faculty of Psychology, University of Indonesia, on 6 January 2026 after six years of research. Her key finding affirms that the clarity of the competency definition being measured matters far more to assessment accuracy than the complexity of the method used. The research also proves that an assessor’s first impression of a candidate can contaminate the objectivity of the assessment—an important warning for every HR practitioner who relies on this method for strategic talent decisions.
On 6 January 2026, in the examination room of the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Indonesia, a simple question finally received a scientific answer after six years of inquiry: can an assessor’s first impression of a candidate damage the objectivity of the assessment? According to Dr. Maharani Syahratu Kertapati, the answer is yes—and the impact is greater than many assume.
The dissertation, titled “The Influence of Assessor First Impressions on Assessment Accuracy in the Assessment Center Method Across Different Measurement Dimensions and Simulation Types,” is the first doctoral-level study in Indonesia to specifically dissect the assessment center method—a method used for decades to choose leaders in hundreds of companies and state institutions.
The research was conducted under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Guritnaningsih as promoter, with Dr. Dewi Maulina and Drs. R. Urip Purwono as co-promoters, at the PsyTrust laboratory, Faculty of Psychology, University of Indonesia. Maharani noted that worldwide there were only a handful of academic papers on the influence of first impressions in assessment centers, making this research a rare contribution globally.
An assessment center is an evaluation method that uses a variety of simulations and measurement dimensions to assess a person’s potential and competencies, particularly for leadership roles. The method is designed precisely to minimize bias by relying on behavioral observation rather than subjective impression alone.
Yet the greatest added value of an assessment center should be accountability—and according to Maharani, the highest accountability is the kind grounded in scientific evidence. This is what drove her to mine the rich assessment data that had until then been used only for practical needs, not scientific contribution.
If there is one thing Maharani wants to convey to HR practitioners in Indonesia, this is the core of it: the clarity of the competency definition being measured matters far more to assessment accuracy than the complexity of the method used. A clearly defined, well-structured dimension makes it easier for assessors to evaluate accurately, while an abstract dimension makes assessment quality drift.
The clearest example is integrity. Clients often ask for the integrity of a leadership candidate to be measured, yet measuring integrity from a three-hour assessment is an enormous leap. The fundamental problem is that integrity means something different in each person’s mind—if even the definition differs, accuracy is impossible to maintain.
The solution is not to avoid measuring abstract values but to break them down into specific, observable behaviors. Instead of measuring ‘integrity’ as one big label, the competency can be unpacked into compliance with rules, consistency between words and actions, and the courage to speak the truth in difficult situations.
With clear operationalization like this, assessors have a concrete benchmark—making the assessment center method produce far more reliable evaluations.
The second, equally important finding concerns the assessor’s first impression. In daily practice, many assessors read a candidate’s CV or profile before the session begins, hoping to be ‘better prepared.’ Maharani’s research shows the opposite.
A first impression formed before the formal assessment begins can contaminate the final evaluation. Assessors who already hold an image of a candidate tend to seek confirmation of that image rather than assess objectively based on the behavior displayed. The implication is clear: a procedure long considered helpful can actually undermine the validity of the results.
Maharani understands that academic findings are not always easy to apply. Although there are International Guidelines on Assessment Center Practice and a code of ethics for assessment center practice in Indonesia, field practice is often modified due to time or budget constraints.
One of the most frequently neglected is assessor training. Many assessors are hired without adequate training, relying only on experience without further verification. Yet international standards make clear that assessors must be trained for each new project, especially when the company context or the position being assessed differs from before.
This scientific approach does not negate the value of intuition. Maharani acknowledges the existence of tacit knowledge—knowledge that only a person holds because of years of experience—which is real and valuable. The problem, however, is that tacit knowledge is not reliable in an organizational sense: when that person leaves, their knowledge leaves with them and cannot be passed on.
The scientific approach offers something different: documentation, standardization, and the ability to be re-tested. This is what makes an assessment center run with scientific discipline accountable across time and teams.
Why does all this matter? Maharani answers with a counter-question: what is the cost an organization bears when it chooses the wrong leader? Assessment is not the sole basis for a decision, but it is often the consideration most widely accepted by various stakeholders, especially for strategic positions.
A mistake at the leadership level is no small error. When an organization chooses the wrong leader, its direction can go astray, and the effects are long-term and difficult to repair. The function of assessment here is to minimize risk—ensuring strategic decisions are based on evidence, not merely personal impression.
For Maharani, the journey is only just beginning. She pursued further study because she felt her previous knowledge was insufficient for future challenges, as clients’ assessment needs continue to change.
On whether assessment centers will be replaced by AI, she emphasizes the answer must be evidence-based. The question is not whether AI replaces humans, but which parts can be replaced and which cannot. Assumption alone is not enough—evidence is needed to answer it responsibly.
In closing, Maharani invites leaders to discuss the questions that often remain unanswered: should assessors read CVs before evaluating? Should simulations be as complex as possible? Is measuring more dimensions always better? Her invitation is for grounded discussion that can be scientifically accountable—not merely procedural.
Dr. Maharani Syahratu Kertapati is the Future of Work Group Head at Daya Dimensi Indonesia, leading the Applied Science and Imagination Center (ASIC)—the company’s internal research and development unit. Daya Dimensi Indonesia, part of Dayalima Group, is known as a pioneer of the assessment center method in Indonesia. This research reaffirms the company’s commitment to delivering talent practices grounded in scientific evidence, not mere tradition.
An evaluation method that uses a variety of simulations and measurement dimensions to assess a person’s potential and competencies—especially for leadership roles—relying on behavioral observation rather than subjective impression.
The clarity of the competency definition being measured matters far more to assessment accuracy than the complexity of the method used.
Because a first impression formed before the assessment begins can contaminate the evaluation—assessors tend to seek confirmation of their initial image rather than assess behavior objectively.
According to this research, the answer must be evidence-based: the question is not whether AI replaces humans, but which parts can be replaced and which cannot.
