United
in Diversity (UID) is a nonprofit foundation based in Jakarta, and
founded in 2003 by Universitas Indonesia, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology Sloan School of Management, and Sinar Harapan with the goal
to promote engagement among the public, private and civil society
sectors and to foster understanding and collaboration among the three
sectors for the betterment of Indonesia.
To
further its mission, UID together with MIT Sloan School of Management
have been jointly coordinating and delivering a program called IDEAS
(Innovative, Dynamic Education and Action for Sustainability) Indonesia
since the year 2006. It is an executive education program that engages
leaders from the private sector, public sector and civil society to hone
their skills as bridging leaders. The program’s uniqueness in
emphasizing the power of collective intelligence and tri-sectoral
collaboration is a reflection of UID’s vision to contribute to a united
and peaceful Indonesia through synergy among the diverse constituents of
its society. In accordance to the above belief, IDEAS Indonesia’s
graduating fellows are a mix of young leaders from the
print and electronic media, educational institutions, public services,
environmental non-governmental organizations, as well as the corporate
world.
