Education and Innovation
in an organization will always drive the organization’s technological
advancement at present and the future of its competitive edge. The old belief that education can only be
found in school is actually an ineffective human resource practice of
today.
Companies of today are always in
connection with the academicians’ in pursuit of the newer ideas that can be
applied to the company’s required product advancement. As it reflects to the companies of today,
R&D department is so dependent with the current qualitative and
quantitative data results given by the R&D professionals inside the
company.
R&D and the Human Resource Department must have a collaborative
program to monitor the appropriate educational program to the whole human
resource. Learning inside the
organization of today is the top challenge for every company’s top level
management. An effective human resource
must have the complete and latest knowledge to efficiently accomplish the task
at hand.
On the contrary, educational
institutions must put into concept that schools and universities are the
molding ground for human knowledge.
Furthermore, students in the universities must not be considered as
“customers” of the university but rather “products” or “human resource products”
equip with the right knowledge needed to accomplish the task in the business
organizations outside the school.
Collaborative integration of schools and companies must be defined in a
clear manner putting certain programs and guidelines delegated to the different
government sectors and private sectors as well to relay the required
educational program level being demanded by the real organizational setting.
Take for example; the new working skill being
demanded by most of the business establishments of today is the knowledge of
every worker to at least know the usage of computer infrastructure.
In this line of human talent demand, universities
must be aware and be creative in modifying educational curriculum in accordance
with the modern business environment of today.
Being creative in any educational program and curriculum, educational
institutions must consider the outside technological trends to adjust the system
of education in regular bases.
