Strengthening organizational governance to realize an independent GEKRAF Banyuasin
Keywords:
Organizational Governance, Community Service, Creative EconomyAbstract
Strengthening organizational governance is crucial for enhancing the institutional capacity of creative economy organizations, enabling them to function effectively, accountably, and sustainably. The Banyuasin Regency Creative Economy Movement (GEKRAF) a collaborative platform for creative economy stakeholders faces several challenges, including the suboptimal division of roles and responsibilities among board members, the absence of established organizational operational standards, and limited managerial capacity in program execution. This community service initiative aims to improve organizational governance capacity to foster a self-reliant GEKRAF Banyuasin. A participatory approach was employed, comprising lectures, presentations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) conducted in three stages: problem identification, capacity building implementation, and activity evaluation. Lectures provided insights into organizational governance principles, presentations shared best practices in organizational management, and FGDs served as a forum for identifying issues and formulating institutional solutions tailored to the partner's needs. The initiative resulted in an improved understanding of organizational governance among board members, a clearly defined division of roles and responsibilities, the drafting of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and enhanced coordination in organizational program planning. These efforts have positively impacted GEKRAF Banyuasin’s institutional capacity, establishing a governance foundation that is more professional, adaptive, and self-reliant in supporting the development of the creative economy ecosystem in Banyuasin Regency.
