Kaedah metrik dalam keusahawanan


Banyak latihan keusahawanan diMalaysia berpaksi kepada motivasi dan perniagaan.
(Akibatnya:  tidak ada beza diantara keusahawanan dengan perniagaan)

Kaedah strategi dan matlamat(goals) tidak ditekankan.  Akhirnya usahawan yang dilahirkan menggunakan kaedah biasa menghadapi masalah bersaing dan gagal menghadapi perubahan yang pesat dipasaran.

Kaedah metrik digunakan sebagai alat pada usahawan untuk bersetrategi, mengenalpasti peluang, dapat merancang dengan berkesan, ketahui punca utama untuk mencapai matlamat utama dan kecil yang jelas.

Antara faedah yang dinikmati dalam latihan keusahawanan melalui metrik adalah
  1. Matlamat perniagaan jelas kerana didefinasikan secara quantitatif.  (Goals setting and integrating)
  2. Matlamat boleh dipecahkan kebeberapa komponen dan merupakan Key Result Areas (keberhasilan utama)
  3. Hasil kerja boleh diukur melalui ukuran yang objektif - key performance indicators (petunjuk utama prestasi)
  4. Sasaran prestasi turut jelas kerana menggunakan angka.
  5. Tandaaras dapat dilakukan bagi tujuan penilaian prestasi.
  6. Variasi atau jurang dapat dianalis dengan objektif
  7. Perubahan strategi turut diperjelaskan melalui metrik
  8. Nisbah merupakan metrik utama dalam mengukur dan mempertingkatkan kecekapan
  9. Akhirnya, strategi dapat diaplikasikan melalui pemetaan metrik.
  10. Fungsi utama perniagaan diintegrasikan melalui metrik.
Program Keusahawanan yang hidup, yang ada cerita dalam cerita - yang ada strategi diatas strategi.

USAHAWAN PERLU FAHAM MAKSUD "VIABILITY ATAU SUSTAINABILITY















Merancang dan membuat keputusan dalam perniagaan dan pengurusan memerlukan angka.
Lebih tepat lagi ialah penggunaan nisbah - satu angka dibahagikan dengan angka yang lain
untuk menghasilkan nisbah yang menunjukkan kecekapan dan prestasi iaitu KPI rate.
  1. Matlamat pernigaan ialah PTE atau PTA adalah nisbah
  2. KPI pasaran seperti kekalan, penetrasi dan pertumbuhan adalah nisbah.
  3. KPI operasi yang utama ialah nisbah kos per unit.
  4. KPI personel ialah produktiviti.
  5. KPI kewangan ialah kos wang dan pulangan
*KPI ialah key performance indicator atau KPI areas.
KPI rate atau kadar adalah angka yang dibuat perbandingan.
KPI rate atau kadar ialah nisbah dimana satu angka dibahagikan dengan angka yang lain.
Contoh:  Output dibahagikan dengan input.

Factor, efficiency and innovative driven entrepreneurship







I received a GEM report 2009 on entrepreneurship with special reference to Malaysia from Unirazak today.

The report states that there are 3 types of entrepreneurship - factor, efficiency and innovation.

They are categorised in accordance to countries.

I define entrepreneurship as those that are only innovative driven. Hence, factor and efficiency driven are classified as ordinary business management.

I regret to note that these findings were derived mainly from surveys.


My own perspective of entrepreneurship

Leveraging




This is a concept applied by most entrepreneurs when they can achieve more with a limited effort.

However, leverage means different things to different people. Robert Kyosaki calls one as using other people money or OPM or financial leverage or gearing.  In multilevel marketing, network is leveraging on contacts and relationship.

Strategic alliances is a typical example of the application of leveraging in business.

In one perspective leverage can mean replicating your product such as CDs for Bill Gates product. . Siti Norhaliza would not be rich if she could not put her songs in the form of CDs,

In franchising Kroch became rich by selling Mc Danald's system and not only burgers. Through framching, franchisor can expand by providing business opportunity to many.

When a company become established, the owners could have the company listed in the stock exchange to create added value to the shareholders.

All the above are examples of leveraging in business.

What is important is to understand the existence of multipliers within the business

Bengkel Pemantapan Kurikulum & Modul Latihan Keusahawanan

Saya hadir bengkel diatas yang dikendalikan oleh MASMED, UITM dengan tajaan Insken, MITI.

Kami bincang program LAP dan LPU pada 17 hingga 19 Januari 2011 diShah Alam.

Saya telah tekankan pada mereka perlunya metodologi dan kaedah latihan ditukar kepada excel based training program. Disamping itu saya ingin program latihan ini lebih quantitatif daripada yang lampau.

Menyahut seruan Perdana Menteri Najib, MASMED perlu mengendalikan program ini berasaskan kepada KPI yang menitik beratkan isu kecekapan dan keberkesanan.

Dengan metrik tersebut, strategi dapat dikonsepkan sambil dilaksanakan. Strategi strategi ini dapat dikaitkan diantara satu sama lain dalam bentuk peta.

Pada akhir kursus, peserta mempu membangunkan model perniagaan yang hidup, yang mempunyai cerita dalam cerita, dan mempunyai strategi diatas strategi.

Usahawan perlu mampu bersaing sambil berubah mengikut pasaran dan keadaan semasa -  usahawan yang cekal dan progresif.
