Symbol Development of Internal Culture Transformation

Our rebranding began from the inside: by tidying up our internal culture. Having remembered our business vision—to become your preferred agency, by providing the best, meaningful brand experiences while continuously transforming to pursue this standard—we kicked the pedal into gear. 

In order to come back fresher better, we begin by going back to the basics: core value, system, and symbol. Symbols are the most revered avatars, as they not only visualize the intangibles but also accelerate the internalization process of the values which we should adopt.

Coming from the world’s rich history of ‘learning’, our avatar for internal culture comes in form as The Karsa. The Karsa is our spirit to clear the path through collaboration of ideas and shared goals. This culture is for the lifelong learners who strive to improve continuously to the horizon’s end, up from the shoulders of the giants. As we shall unravel together, there are six values in \\' which shall form our heavy rotation.

We believe The Acid Test is the vitamin for our business growth. The Acid Test is a feedback program which originated from an experiment by one of our interns in \\'Internship Program 2019 Batch 1. The program has been given to our clients, teams, and partners—which results provided us with unparalleled insights.

These results show that external parties consider us as fun, friendly, and passionate professionals. In the same spirit, our internal members find us to be hard-working, fun, creative, and a great place to learn. Great consensus aside, we detected a latent expectation from both internal and external parties—expectations for a bigger team in the near future to maximize our potential.

Based on the nature of our industry, key stakeholders, and our long-term goals, we went on to conduct an internal culture development program. The program empowers our rebranding activities and supports our business to achieve these ambitions.

The three principles of Tamansiswa (Student Park), founded by Ki Hajar Dewantara, were inspired by the progressive pedagogical framework introduced by Maria Montessori (Italy). This framework was combined with local wisdom, called Patrap Triloka. This was the first education system to focus on character building in Indonesia, replacing the regular military approach with art. Similar shift happened in Greek 5 BCE, which ever since brought the most significant civilization leap.

Today, these principles remain relevant, and Ki Hajar Dewantara is treasured as The National Hero who fought for Indonesia's Independence through education.

Taking lessons from Retrofuturism, people’s imagination before the 20th century may have inspired our 21st-century internet-boom reality. What if it was the findings of the Renaissance which actually facilitated our present reality—and paved way for NASA, Nuclear Plantation, and many other technologies?

Nothing's new under the sun. What Ki Hajar Dewantara brought for Indonesia has happened before in Greek and Italy.
