In their presentations, the speakers elaborated on various strategies to strengthen KPI implementation, ranging from integrating the Tridharma of Higher Education activities with performance indicators, strengthening research and community service collaborations, to optimizing the use of information technology to support institutional performance measurement systems.
The discussion took place interactively, involving participants from various working units within FISIP UNRI, including vice deans, heads of departments, department secretaries, study program coordinators, heads of administrative divisions, and other supporting units. Participants provided insights regarding opportunities, challenges, and strategies that can be undertaken by each study program and working unit to enhance their contributions toward achieving KPIs.

The first session discussed the formulation of strategies and follow-up plans for IKU 1 to IKU 5, while the second session focused on strategies and implementation plans for IKU 6 to IKU 12. The results of the discussions were then formulated into conclusions and recommendations that will serve as references in drafting the KPI implementation guidelines at FISIP UNRI.
