"As officials of the DJKN, you are labeled as the managers of state assets. At the same time, as officials of the Ministry of Finance, you are not merely expected to manage the assets statically, but you need to have a dynamic spirit," she said during the Young DJKN Commencement Day event in Jakarta.
She expressed hope that the younger generation of DJKN officials will have the tenacity to create "value out of value" for state assets, such as emotional, historical, and nationalistic values.
As the managers of state assets, young DJKN officials are expected to pay attention to other aspects to identify and highlight the added value of existing assets, she added.
Indrawati said that one of the most difficult tasks of DJKN officials, as policy makers, is observing data and trends that can be taken into account in the policy-making process.
In policy-making, young officials at DJKN should wield the capability to formulate anticipatory policies, she stated.
Despite having enormous potential, the younger generation faces several challenges, including increasingly fierce global competition, rapid developments in technology, and adverse impacts of climate change, she added.
Competency is the key to overcoming the challenges, she affirmed.
"Hence, you should learn to become competent, including through participating in training activities, learning from disappointment, experiencing successes, and also learning from failures," Indrawati noted.
She emphasized that the learning process does not stop at schools and universities as everyone can continue to gain knowledge in workplaces
She also encouraged young officials to cultivate a willingness to learn from the experiences of their seniors in order to boost their competency. Related news: Green economy key to mitigating climate change impacts: Minister
