Abstract


ABSTRAK                                                                                     

Program pengabdian masyarakat dilaksanakan di Desa Kapal, Badung, Bali, untuk meningkatkan employee agility di antara 11 pengrajin tembikar lokal dari bulan Mei sampai dengan Agustus 2025. Kapal, yang dikenal dengan tembikar tradisionalnya yang digunakan dalam upacara keagamaan, menghadapi tantangan seperti menurunnya minat pada kerajinan tersebut, terutama di kalangan generasi muda, dan integrasi teknologi yang terbatas. Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan beradaptasi, proaktivitas, dan kolaborasi untuk memastikan keberlanjutan dan inovasi di pasar yang kompetitif. Menggunakan Participatory Action Research (PAR) pendekatan, pengrajin mengidentifikasi tantangan dan mengembangkan solusi bersama. Program ini melibatkan tiga fase: penilaian pra-tes awal, lokakarya pengembangan kapasitas tentang keterampilan teknis dan praktik bisnis, dan evaluasi pasca-tes. Lokakarya memperkenalkan alat ergonomis dan praktik bisnis modern untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dan mengurangi ketegangan fisik. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan dalam antisipasi perubahan, kolaborasi, dan kemampuan beradaptasi. Para pengrajin menjadi lebih proaktif, kolaboratif, dan responsif terhadap permintaan pasar. Hasil ini menyoroti keberhasilan program dalam meningkatkan agility, empowering craftsmen to modernize their craft and improve marketability. Keberhasilan program ini menunjukkan bahwa inisiatif serupa dapat memberdayakan industri tradisional, mendorong keberlanjutan dan inovasi. Inisiatif ini merevitalisasi kerajinan dan memberikan model yang dapat diskalakan untuk meningkatkan agility di sektor artisanal lainnya menghadapi tantangan serupa.

ABSTRACT

A community service program was implemented in Kapal Village, Badung, Bali, to improve employee agility among 11 local pottery craftsmen from May to August 2025. Kapal, known for its traditional pottery used in religious ceremonies, faces challenges such as declining interest in the craft, especially among younger generations, and limited technological integration. The program aimed to enhance adaptability, proactivity, and collaboration to ensure sustainability and innovation in a competitive market. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, craftsmen identified challenges and co-developed solutions. The program involved three phases: an initial pre-test assessment, capacity-building workshops on technical skills and business practices, and a post-test evaluation. Workshops introduced ergonomic tools and modern business practices to improve productivity and reduce physical strain. Results showed significant improvements in anticipation of change, collaboration, and adaptability. The craftsmen became more proactive, collaborative, and responsive to market demands. These results highlight the success of the program in enhancing agility, empowering craftsmen to modernize their craft and improve marketability. The program’s success suggests that similar initiatives can empower traditional industries, fostering sustainability and innovation. This initiative revitalized the craft and provides a scalable model for enhancing agility in other artisanal sectors facing similar challenges.
