The theme "Survival Leadership: Facing Uncertainties" was selected for its relevance to the dynamic challenges students will encounter in the modern workforce. Armand W. Hartono highlighted the critical role of adaptive leadership, stressing its alignment with ongoing technological and industrial advancements.

"In the face of rapidly evolving challenges, Indonesia's young generation must be prepared to thrive in a highly competitive environment. To succeed, students should cultivate leadership qualities that are both visionary and adaptable across various fields of expertise. With a solid foundation, they will be better equipped to navigate uncertainties and adapt to continuous change," explained Armand W. Hartono.

At the same event, Armand W. Hartono shared insights on how BCA has successfully adapted to constant change. "In our journey of building BCA, we recognized that staying relevant requires continuously meeting customer needs and committing to innovation. By actively listening to customer feedback, we can provide timely and relevant banking solutions. This approach offers a valuable lesson for thriving in the workplace," Armand W. Hartono added.

The BCA Berbagi Ilmu program, organized by Bakti BCA, reflects the bank's commitment to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting Quality Education. This initiative also aims to equip the younger generation with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive amid the demographic bonus in 2030.
