ABSTRACT
Telkom distributes technology-related decision-making to the participants. This is very different from the previous organizational structure, where decision-making was made down the structure of research and development divisions. However, intrapreneurs are there already; the program is only gathering them and scaling up their influence. Telkom has introduced the Digital Amoeba Program, a playground for intrapreneurs. Amoeba has more than 40 active teams validating their innovations, and it is looking for new ideas. Innovation accounting is a collective and multivariable approach to assessing whether investment in innovation can solve business sustainability issues. Digital technologies and their related businesses are being developed as innovation. Digital technologies come in very small denominators so that a start-up company can create a tech-based business with just three persons in a garage with capital close to zero. But, even in the era of massive infrastructure, the de facto influencer of a company’s decision are employees with strong character and exceptional skills.
