Abstract

Creative-campus projects, in which students, lecturers and partners turn ideas into prototypes, creative startups, papers and events, often stall between enthusiasm and verified output. This paper proposes that Indicator Measurement Factor Analysis (IMF), a spreadsheet-based project method used at an Indonesian private university since 2019, can serve as their operating system. We first review how IMF has been described in a 2019 blog post, a 2020 conference paper, the literature citing that paper and the structure of live IMF spreadsheets. The published descriptions are brief and the citing works rarely engage with the method, but practice has added countdowns, closing rules, lead and task owners, evidence links, opening and closing narratives and recognition. Using a design-oriented approach, we derive six requirements for creative-campus projects from the creative-economy policy context and build a process framework, IMF-OS, that runs planning, organising, actuating and controlling as one repeating mission cycle. IMF-OS has five layers and five rules, a lifecycle of chained missions from idea to prototype to startup, paper or event with explicit gate decisions, a role model built on lead and task owners, a version cadence with adaptable rituals and safeguarded recognition, and an operational privacy procedure. A worked mission template, explicitly illustrative, shows the system in use. An analytical walkthrough and a traceability table show how the framework meets each requirement and which elements are documented, observed or newly proposed. No empirical results are claimed; the framework is offered for piloting.
