“…Therefore, in Figure 3 these three components are interdependent and must work in harmony to remain competitive in today's rapidly changing business environment. Goal Oriented Analysis using Fishbone Diagram: Innovation analysis is process to identify and analyze the key actions required for achieving organization's innovation goal (Fisher et al, 2011). It provides a structured approach to understanding the various factors that influence goal attainment.…”

The informatics industry market has shown promising growth in the post-COVID era, presenting certification companies with lucrative business opportunities. The informatics market’s GDP growth rate ranks fourth among other fastest-growing industries in Indonesia, demonstrating a 7.19% increase from 2022 to 2023. PT. DECRA Group Indonesia, a certification company, have intention to penetrate a new market which is IT Industry. Knowledge plays a crucial role in the certification process, especially ISO auditors are required extensive knowledge across various business types. Therefore, this research focuses on exploring the role of knowledge management in supporting the growth of PT. DECRA Group Indonesia. The study aims to investigate how knowledge management approaches can enable DECRA Group Indonesia to improve their resources and capitalize on the IT market. The data collection method in this research involves gathering qualitative data through interviews with the business owner and HR manager as the primary sources. These interviews aim to gain an in-depth understanding of their perspectives on the company’s business growth. Additionally, secondary data sources such as the company’s website, competence review forms, and lists of employee competencies will be utilized to supplement the research. The analysis employs Goal-Analysis approach using Fishbone Diagram model to identify what key areas in achieving company’s goals. Building upon the analysis, KM Framework Table is constructed based on the People, Process, and Technology for each improvement that need to be made. Then SECI Model, derived from the KM Framework Table, guides the implementation of knowledge management practices, facilitating the conversion of tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge to foster innovation and organizational learning. Furthermore, to ensure successful implementation in SECI model, an Integrated Learning Cycle model is developed, which takes into consideration the communication channels and learning processes that are crucial for the effective knowledge transfer and acquisition. To facilitate the practical implementation of knowledge management strategies, a KM Roadmap is developed by providing a simple-structured approach for DECRA in aligning its people, processes, and technology considerations to support knowledge management initiatives. In conclusion, this research emphasizes the critical role of knowledge management in driving business growth for PT. DECRA Group Indonesia, enabling the company to enhance its internal operations, develop competencies, capitalize IT market successfully, and leverage knowledge as a strategic asset for sustained innovation and competitive advantage.

“…For the purpose of this research, in line with G. Smith (2003) and Fisher, Biviji, and Nair (2011), we define innovation as the conscious ideation process of problem solving that begins with the urge to change, to generate new ideas, products and services, and ends with successful implementation. To arrive at an innovative solution in the form of a product or service, the idea must go through a process of development, from its discovery to its implementation.…”

“…In many instances, the term creativity has been used to refer exclusively to the process of ideation, while at other times it has been used as a synonym for innovation (Unsworth, Brown, and McGuire 2000). Whatever the orientation, creativity is closely linked with the process of innovation (Amabile 1996;Brown 2008;Butter and van Beest 2017;Chell and Athayde 2009;Fisher, Biviji, and Nair 2011;Messmann and Mulder 2014;West, Tateishi, and Wright 2012;Wright, Skaggs, and West 2013). Innovation competence is defined in this paper as the competence to systematically discover shortcomings in a context/situation, to formulate innovative questions, to generate creative ideas for products, services, procedures, and theories, to demonstrate the usefulness or significance of a solution through reflection and to demonstrate that the generated solutions can be successfully implemented (Messmann and Mulder 2014;West, Tateishi, and Wright 2012;Wright, Skaggs, and West 2013).…”

To be innovation competent, one must possess the necessary know-how, skills and attitudes related to problem identification, creativity in solution/idea generation and implementation of the solution or idea (Dai and Sternberg 2004;Fisher, Biviji, and Nair 2011;Messmann and Mulder 2011).…”

The competence to innovate is critical for engineering students, as work environments and society are constantly changing. However, innovation competence is often not (explicitly) part of teaching, and teachers struggle to teach students this competence. To address this problem, a course to train undergraduate engineering students' innovation competence was designed, based on six design principles. The instruction was nested in a final-year undergraduate Built Environment course. A mixed-method study (pre-and post-training student survey (n = 46); student focus group interviews (n = 18); teacher individual interview (n = 2); and analysis of student (n = 46) products, as assessed by 12 teachers) was undertaken to understand the effectiveness of the design principles in supporting students' development of innovation competence.Paired samples t-tests showed significant growth in students' selfperceived innovation competence. Analysis of students' innovative products showed that they met the course goals. Students, teachers, and other stakeholders also reported positive perceptions of the setup and design principles used in the innovation competence instruction. The results showed that the intervention as described is effective for improving students' innovation competence in the domains of study. This study offers several starting points for fostering the development of students' innovation competence in higher education organisations.
