I'm honored to have Jeff Scott, CEO of as a, rejoin me to discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of AI within the SAP ecosystem, specifically focusing on the impact of partnerships like SAP and Microsoft's collaboration on copilot and Joule. [00:00:26] Mustansir Saifuddin: Listen in as we explore how these advancements will shape enterprise operations in 2025 and beyond, and why you can't afford to ignore this technological shift. [00:00:39] Mustansir Saifuddin: Thanks for coming back on our podcast. Geoff, it was really nice to have you back. You remember, you know you came on last year and we dove into this whole [00:00:48] Geoff Scott: Oh. [00:00:49] Mustansir Saifuddin: gen AI topic. Everybody remembers that, you know, it was a very hot topic last year and, you know, everybody was going in that direction. Now, fast forwarding everything to this year and say, Hey, what is going on? And this year, SAP has had some major announcements, as we all know about the partnerships that we leverage the power of AI within the SAP ecosystem. And what I see with the majority of SAP clients using Microsoft in the enterprises. There is a lot of opportunity in SAP and Microsoft , you know, the whole partnership, especially around copilot and SAP Joule. I believe it'll make a big impact. [00:01:30] Geoff Scott: I'm surprised you have me back. I was very nervous. It's a year later. I was like, okay, this is never gonna happen again. I, I disinvited myself from future podcasts. [00:01:39] Mustansir Saifuddin: Well, I have you back [00:01:42] Mustansir Saifuddin: on. [00:01:43] Mustansir Saifuddin: and I am telling you that it is more exciting than what we were talking about last year, and I think this is what I want to get some thoughts on, Hey, what's going on? What's your take on how these partnerships are coming together and what are we going to see in 2025? [00:02:01] Geoff Scott: Well, the good news is that what we see in 2025 is no apparent slowdown in any of this technology. You know, but what's interesting is we, in the SAP space, [00:02:13] Geoff Scott: are not necessarily meeting that challenge head on, and we probably are not moving as quickly as we should to capture the amount of opportunity that's out there. I, I think AI is real. It's gonna continue to evolve at a furious pace, and that necessitates that we as technology practitioners determine how we best leverage that technology. [00:02:36] Geoff Scott: You, you talked about Microsoft Copilot, Joule, right? I mean AWS. Bedrock , Google Gemini, you know, now we've got, other LLMs popping out all over the place. Right. , deep seek . Which just popped up very quickly. So there's just, a tremendous amount of movement here and it's really hard [00:02:57] Geoff Scott: to stay abreast of it. And I think the opportunity to jump in and start leveraging this is mission critical and what I think it really necessitates, and you talked about some announcements from SAP that I think double or triple down on this notion that AI is here, so if you really want to take your SAP data and make it AI enabled using Joule or using any other series of tools, [00:03:24] Geoff Scott: it's gonna necessitate that we as technology practitioners start to do some fairly radical things with our data. Number one is we start to de-customize everywhere we can and move the responsibility for code back to SAP so that they are responsible for figuring out how to make the AI work, not us. [00:03:42] Geoff Scott: So [00:03:42] Geoff Scott: , [00:03:42] Geoff Scott: how [00:03:42] Geoff Scott: do we over time de-customize and how do we over time think about the necessity of adopting SaaS based solutions such as SAP's Public Cloud? Many of our of our community members are implementing private cloud right [00:04:00] now through Rise which is great, but ultimately if we recreate all those customizations downstream, then we have to figure out how to make them AI enabled, and I think that's where we're gonna find ourselves under continuing amounts of stress as the business innovates faster and faster. [00:04:17] Geoff Scott: We typically in the SAP ecosystem, think about our innovations on a stair step model. And what I mean by that is we do an upgrade, we sit on that upgrade for a couple of years, as long as we possibly can. You know, and then we do an upgrade again. And the challenge I think that's gonna present is that there's so much innovation happening and, all these things are moving at such a speed that if we're not continuously innovating, [00:04:39] Geoff Scott: we are gonna find ourselves further and further behind. I, I'd like to see our SAP data be the sole source of truth inside our enterprises and an innovation gold mine. [00:04:49] Geoff Scott: And to do that, I think we have to de-customize. I think we have to be able to, innovate faster. I think we have to be able to look at this data, do a lot more work around archiving and getting the old stuff, swept up and moved out. Master data is gonna become a major, major opportunity for all of us. [00:05:05] Geoff Scott: And if we do all those things really, really well. We will have a fighting chance at making our enterprises very savvy. And on top of the latest trends versus trying to perpetually catch up. [00:05:16] Mustansir Saifuddin: It's a race, the way I look at it, and I think , you summed it up very well, and I think that leads me to my question into this whole topic of collaboration. Let's take that right now. What would you tell your SAP users about the power of Microsoft and SAP's collaboration? [00:05:33] Mustansir Saifuddin: How will it positively impact their day-to-day operations? Let's start with that. [00:05:38] Geoff Scott: Well, I, I think you set this up really well. We, we know from an ASUG research perspective that most SAP customers are also Microsoft customers. And that partnership has gone back almost as long as SAP and Microsoft have been in business. You know, there's some pictures I've seen of Bill Gates and Hasso Plattner, the two founders of both organizations working together early on. [00:06:04] Geoff Scott: So this is a partnership that goes back a long, long time and it's a tremendously powerful partnership. And it indicates to me that these are organizations that work very well together, very closely together and collaborate. I mean, almost everyone I know who works in SAP also uses Excel spreadsheets, also uses PowerPoint slides, [00:06:23] Geoff Scott: also creates Word documents. I do these almost every single day. It makes perfect sense to me that a tool such as Microsoft Copilot and SAP's Joule would be working in harmony together. And I think we're seeing some interesting innovation from both organizations where they're able to demonstrate that. [00:06:39] Geoff Scott: I saw some really cool, rag based technologies, a few weeks ago where a copilot can reach out and grab some data from SAP and bring it back. Likewise Joule is being able to show some similar capabilities. For most customers, as much as we'd like to have one AI tool, I just don't think that that's going to be the way this works. [00:06:58] Geoff Scott: I think we're gonna have multiple, which, which makes the enterprise architect's role that much more challenging because they're gonna have to figure out how to integrate these tools, when these tools are best used, how they're used, and how do we as as organizations, get value from them. [00:07:15] Mustansir Saifuddin: Absolutely. And if you take this a step further, right? The hype around Agentic AI, everybody's talking about agents. What are you seeing in the marketplace? What, what is your take? [00:07:25] Mustansir Saifuddin: How are SAP users benefitting from Agentic AI within their organizations? [00:07:31] Geoff Scott: As it relates specifically to the SAP ecosystem, my. My perception, maybe right or wrong, probably more wrong than right, is that many of them are investigating and researching. I haven't necessarily seen any specific in production, customer running, agentic AI using SAP dot dot yet. Is it coming? [00:08:00] I think it's coming. [00:08:01] Geoff Scott: Has everyone figured this out yet? No certainly SAP's talking about it. I saw some presentations from the AI team at SAP led by Philip Herzig where they're demonstrating a lot of this. And I think it's gonna be very interesting to watch how agentic, you know, agent-based AI starts to manage tasks. [00:08:19] Geoff Scott: And I'm very keen to see how this works. [00:08:24] Mustansir Saifuddin: It's still very early on in, in this space where a lot of SAP customers are thinking about using it. But [00:08:32] Mustansir Saifuddin: how [00:08:32] Mustansir Saifuddin: do we really find a use case that is really beneficial to the organization at least from a investment standpoint, the time standpoint , and the value add you get as a, as a result of this application basically. [00:08:47] Geoff Scott: And I think the, the potential challenge with agentic AI is it also has to be reasonable from a, you know, a what is this agent, what is this agent's tasks? One of the things that we all know about the SAP ecosystem is we exist here because our businesses are complicated. Someone used to say to me, if, if you didn't need to run SAP, you wouldn't. [00:09:11] Geoff Scott: Right. So you know, most of the organizations that run SAP are of a, a sufficient size and scale and complexity, whether that be that they're multiple businesses running, they have international components, the business makes a complicated product that has a lot of configuration to it, right? There's reasons why these organizations are running SAP. [00:09:32] Geoff Scott: So that kind of then begets the next point, which is, an agent based AI. It's going to have to be fairly complicated in order to handle all of those different, particulars of a business. So I, I think it's gonna be interesting to watch how organizations slice that down to make it so that they can demonstrate some success early days without making the agents so complicated that they basically can't function. [00:09:58] Geoff Scott: You know, even some of this agent AI we talk about that seems like really simple. Like, Hey, I want to go out to eat at a restaurant tonight. Have agentic AI make a reservation. When you break that down. How does it do that? what type of food do you want? [00:10:13] Geoff Scott: I don't know. Maybe Italian, maybe French, maybe American. What about what time do you want to eat? How far away do you want to go? And so much of that is, is left to our brains to just on a whim, we make these decisions. How do you have that conversation with AG Agentic AI, right? Where it says, Hey, you know, here's a reservation at Italian restaurant at six 30. [00:10:32] Geoff Scott: Nah, well, 6 45, nah. Well, what do you want? Not Italian. Well, what do you want instead? I don't know French. No. You want a burger? Nah, I don't feel like a burger tonight. I mean, oh my God. I mean, it's exhausting. [00:10:47] Mustansir Saifuddin: Let's take a step up, right? Let's, let's talk about from SAP customers, you know. Everybody's getting on this [00:10:55] Mustansir Saifuddin: What word of advice would you have for SAP customers when they get further into the journey with AI? Like, what are the things that they should be looking at? [00:11:03] Geoff Scott: First and foremost, take the time to experiment, right? I mean, if you're not using these AI tools every day start. And this has taken me a little bit of time to warm up to, I'm finding now that, I have enough, road underneath my tires that it's hard for me to do new things, [00:11:22] Geoff Scott: 'cause I'm fairly, you know, set in my ways. But if I don't, use these tools to do things, I'm just not, I'm not learning. And so I. As an example, I'm recording a podcast tomorrow with a couple of fellow ASUG board members, and last night I needed to get them some prep materials. [00:11:40] Geoff Scott: I uploaded three or four documents into Claude and I said, please look at these three documents and I need to brief the podcast participants on what they say. And it looked at all three documents and it coughed up a pretty darn good summary. [00:11:55] Geoff Scott: Perfect? No. Pretty good. Yes. Was it [00:12:00] easier that I didn't, I didn't have to go and look at each document and figure out what to say. I could take a look at its summarization and determine if that was something that I wanted, that I thought was accurate and something that I thought we could share. And the answer was it was pretty good. [00:12:15] Geoff Scott: That was a great experiment. And then I said, okay, now create the podcast questions. And it did it. Now, are we using all of them? No. Did it give me at least a starting point? A hundred percent. And by the way, for the people out there was like, oh my God. He put that into, he put that into Claude. Oh my God. What about the security things? We own a subscription to Claude. So it was in a subscription. It was, it was in our protected space. It was public information. So, you know, but you gotta think about those things, right? [00:12:42] Mustansir Saifuddin: . [00:12:42] Mustansir Saifuddin: Absolutely. And I think the one thing that you hit upon is time to value, right? When you look at these tools, these technology aspects of how it can make things faster, better . But it brings up another point, like when, when you look at these, these use cases, everything is about data. What you feeding into the model. [00:13:07] Mustansir Saifuddin: So, you know, from a data perspective, I know a lot of customers doesn't matter, SAP or other technologies, and especially in SAP you know, either struggle with clean governed data and kind of makes it very difficult. So what, what's your take on that in that space? You know, especially when they are ready to go to the AI [00:13:32] Mustansir Saifuddin: journey, but they have some work to do. [00:13:34] Geoff Scott: I think there's a tremendous amount of work to do on this, and this kind of comes back to a part of our earlier dialogue that I think that data has to be right. Right. If, if we're gonna succeed in this future AI enabled world, the data that is being accessed, from your SAP systems, whether through some sort of rag or wherever you're doing, it has to be accurate. [00:13:57] Geoff Scott: So the archiving perspective of this has to be right. And you know also what has to be right is your ability to get master data correct. So if you have the same customer in your SAP system, this is an easy example, five times. Well, you now have increased by factors, the likelihood that the answer that pops back is wrong. [00:14:18] Geoff Scott: So, you know, we've been talking about this for a long time, that your SAP data has to be accurate, has to be right, and SAP data is very accurate at the time that it was entered. I think this is one of the brilliant things about SAP. And where we as SAP, you know, professionals spend so much time is getting the data into the system correctly from the get go. [00:14:41] Geoff Scott: The problem is it doesn't age so well, right? It's not like a fine wine. It can sometimes get a little stale and old and if we're not also getting it broomed out. The challenge we run into is it could be part of a , hallucination that we're not aware of. And if all of a sudden people are looking at this data and making broader based decisions on it, and the decision processes was flawed and the data's flawed, we could be making a lot of really bad decisions. [00:15:12] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah, absolutely. Data and analytics is very near and dear to me. So I, I know that whole conversation about getting The data clean, having that value around data, right. Which drives a lot of those those results out of the tools that we [00:15:28] Mustansir Saifuddin: want to apply. Especially. [00:15:30] Geoff Scott: It's all gonna come down to data at the end of the day, right? The data wins and the accuracy of the data wins. And the more that we're gonna use these tools to summarize and roll up, the higher the risk that that summary is inaccurate because the data underneath it isn't right. [00:15:49] Geoff Scott: We had this conversation in an ASUG executive exchange forum last week. And I think most people are starting to recognize that , if you have been [00:16:00] deferring your archiving routines, now might be a good time to get some of that back under control. [00:16:07] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah, [00:16:08] Geoff Scott: Most of the models right now, the L lms right, are based on data that doesn't, that the, you know books, fueling [00:16:15] Geoff Scott: research reports, fueling these LLMs that that data has been around for a long time and is, and has stood the test of time. Most of our SAP data, you know, has to be thought of through a very specific lens. But I, I think it's critical, a hundred percent critical. [00:16:33] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah. So let, so let's take it down a, a notch, right? From an ASUG perspective, how have you seen ASUG members approaching realtime data analytics moving to the cloud? I know ASUG does a lot of research on this. What have you seen? What, what do you see in this year? [00:16:49] Geoff Scott: So I think, you know, almost everyone is having cloud conversations, which is the beginning of this, because I don't think you can innovate at scale if you're not thinking about moving into the cloud. You know, the other thing is, is that most of these solutions, if you think about the innovation curve, mostly solutions are gonna appear first in the latest additions of your software. [00:17:08] Geoff Scott: So if you can't start innovating at a faster and faster cycle, move out of the stair step you and I discussed earlier, moving to a constant innovation framework, you're gonna find yourself further and further behind because if you want to take advantage of innovation at scale at the time it's released or near to the time it's released you need to be on the latest versions of software. [00:17:27] Geoff Scott: The hard reality of most of our ecosystem is we are not. And if we are not, that's where this stuff is gonna appear first. Will it make it down to other versions of the software? Yes. Is it gonna be on SAP's first order priority to do that? No. They're gonna want to make sure where they get it out [00:17:44] Geoff Scott: to market fast and they're gonna look at their latest versions of the software to do that, where they're the most comfortable. You know, there's this question, why can't I run AI in my on-prem data center? Well, you could, but you're gonna have to do all of that lift by yourself. And that becomes a very costly exercise that unless you're the bigs of the bigs, is probably outside of your budget to do that. [00:18:08] Geoff Scott: So if you want to do this with some degree of economy, you have to be in the cloud, you have to de-customize. You have to think about your SAP implementation as a SaaS service, push accountability and responsibility for code and business process back to SAP, right? I mean, I, I think that, you know, what has AI told me, loud and clear at a volume level of 11? [00:18:30] Geoff Scott: We as SAP customers now more than ever, need to stop customizing and moving responsibility for code back to SAP, 'cause if we don't, we are never gonna be able to keep up. .In, in addition to that, that many of us over these years have outsourced our application maintenance services. We rely on consultants to do most of the work we need done, right, so we're not even in control of the productive resources necessary to make this stuff a reality. [00:19:05] Geoff Scott: We are project managers. We are business analysts, right? We don't necessarily know how to write code to do this, and if we're gonna have to rely on outside resources every time we make one of these moves, that's gonna be super costly and super slow. [00:19:22] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yeah. I hear you. [00:19:23] Mustansir Saifuddin: and I know the ASUG community hears that [00:19:26] Geoff Scott: But we have a lot in our ASUG community, right, who have been around for a long time that says, well, you know, my job is an ABAP programmer. What do you want me to do next? Or I'm a basis person and I don't like this. And I'm like, you are some of the people that are in , the best position to retool and relearn. [00:19:42] Geoff Scott: We're all gonna have to relearn. And, you know, is your business's, joy in life to have you produce more ABAP code or figure out how to get that ABAP code out, move it to SAP and say, congratulations, SAP, you're now responsible for this. Here's what I need this business process to do. Right. [00:20:00] And using your, using ASUG to help you influence that business process, instead of you saying, well, I'm gonna just take it and twist it to my own needs. [00:20:08] Geoff Scott: Even with me saying that, I still think that there's a lot of distance that SAP has to travel, by the way, I don't think they have this figured out. I don't think that they'll look at this and they go, yep, we got this. You just, you know, trust us. No, I think in certain areas they have this well done. [00:20:23] Geoff Scott: In other areas they do not. So what's the best thing we can do? Help them get there faster, influence them, participate in your ASUG chapter meetings, have a voice, talk about where you're hitting challenges. How do we need SAP to make better business processes? How are we gonna use the, you know, the tools that they have, like Lean IX and Signavio to help drive some of this? [00:20:48] Geoff Scott: That's to me where this is gonna need to happen. I would much prefer to have SAP struggle to keep up with business process than have. 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 customers do it on their own. It doesn't scale. [00:21:03] Mustansir Saifuddin: No, it doesn't. And I think, and that's a fair point, right? And this is where the value of ASUG comes in. And, and I mean the journey is long, but the, the path is there for us to follow. [00:21:14] Geoff Scott: I, I, yeah. [00:21:14] Mustansir Saifuddin: Right. And that's the, [00:21:15] Geoff Scott: I think the journey is long and the journey is more important than ever. It's time to get off the couch and go out and start walking, and then when you can walk, you can run, then, you know, then you can sprint. And I think , that's kind of the, the message that we're giving as ASUG is this isn't gonna slow down for you, you're gonna have to catch up to it. [00:21:32] Mustansir Saifuddin: No, I think, and that's the message. A lot of people are hearing loud and clear now, especially 2025 has brought in that that whole concept of either you go along with it or you're gonna be left behind. [00:21:44] Geoff Scott: Or, or, or at some point you're going to have to catch up, and the question is, is how much lifting are you gonna have to do to get there? I, again, I don't think this is easy. I, I don't think that there's , a magic pill we can swallow, you know, that that cleans us all up and we're all perfect. [00:22:01] Mustansir Saifuddin: No. No, for sure. And I think I, I know we talked about a lot of things today and we can keep on talking and the journey keeps on you know, is it's a [00:22:11] Geoff Scott: It's journey. [00:22:11] Mustansir Saifuddin: it's, [00:22:12] Geoff Scott: Yeah. [00:22:12] Mustansir Saifuddin: ending, but what, what is the one key takeaway that you want to leave with the listeners [00:22:18] Geoff Scott: One key takeaway [00:22:18] Mustansir Saifuddin: as we wrap up? [00:22:19] Geoff Scott: it. [00:22:20] Mustansir Saifuddin: Yep. [00:22:21] Geoff Scott: Spend time experimenting and learning this stuff. Get comfortable being uncomfortable with these tools. Use them. Think about how your business can benefit from them. Spend some time, you know, in BTP learning how to access these LLMs through your BTP interface. If you're having a challenge getting a business case written to move from your ECC environment to S 4. [00:22:46] Geoff Scott: Talk to us at ASUG, we will help you with that. Go to a chapter meeting and ask others how they made that investment work. Spend some time, you know, if you don't have a, a license for copilot where you and I started this afternoon, ask your IT counterparts to have access to copilot, use it. [00:23:04] Ask it questions, engage in iterative rep iterative prompts. These are things I think the, the faster we get comfortable with these technologies, the better off we as technologists will have light bulbs go off and say, oh, I, now I get how I can really put agent AI to work. Right. And I'm not gonna listen to just, you know, Microsoft, you know, talk about it or SAP talk about it. [00:23:24] Geoff Scott: I actually have some ideas. And these are good ideas and I'm excited, I'm excited to share 'em. Get out of the stands and on the field. [00:23:32] Mustansir Saifuddin: And who better do it? I mean, I think I, I love , your closing, right? Especially when you are looking at your own business, your own technology, and your way of doing things. Who better can come up with , a solution , or see the applications of these co-pilot Gemini, no matter what I mean, type of tools you can use. [00:23:51] Mustansir Saifuddin: But these are , the ways you can innovate, right by looking at the processes. [00:23:56] Geoff Scott: Yes. Someone told me that they set up two agentic AI bots [00:24:00] and the two of them constructed a podcast and it was pretty good. So withstand zero. I'm worried that next time you and I meet, it's not gonna be you or I, it's gonna be our agentic AI counterparts, some version of us. [00:24:14] Mustansir Saifuddin: and yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I think it is here. It's going to be here at some point, so might as well embrace it. [00:24:22] Geoff Scott: Yeah. Absolutely. [00:24:23] Mustansir Saifuddin: Thanks for listening to Tech-Driven Business brought to you by Innovative Solution Partners. Embracing innovation is no longer an option, but really a necessity for enterprise success. Geoff's key takeaway? Proactive experimentation with AI is crucial for SAP users to discover its business benefits. Engage with tools like copilot and Joule, participate in ASUG, and push for cloud migration to stay ahead of the rapid technological changes. We would love to hear from you.

Marco Sturm joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! Sturm was 19 when he started in the NHL with fellow teenager Patrick Marleau -- a situation that the San Jose Sharks will see this fall with youngsters Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith -- and he recounts that experience. The current Ontario Reign head coach also shared some stories about being interviewed for the Sharks' head coach job this summer. But before we get to Marco (1:13:24), we chat about the big Sharks news. On Sunday, the San Jose Sharks acquired Cody Ceci and a 2025 third-round pick from the Edmonton Oilers for Ty Emberson. Keegan was a lot colder on the trade than Sheng, Emberson being his big sticking point. (2:10) How did we grade the trade? (43:02) Are the San Jose Sharks also circling star goalie prospect Yaroslav Askarov? Askarov requested a trade from the Nashville Predators earlier this week. (45:50) Sheng and Keegan bat around different trade proposals for Askarov, discuss their concerns about the mercurial netminder, and more. And now, Marco Sturm! (1:13:24) Sturm talks about what it was like to enter the NHL with fellow teenager Patrick Marleau in 1997. (1:14:00) Who did Sturm live with? (1:19:30) Sturm talks about how important it was to have solid veteran leadership around he and Marleau. (1:21:53) Sturm had a great Sharks career, but he was also part of the biggest trade in franchise history, the Joe Thornton trade. Sturm recalls what he was going through personally at the time, and why he was upset with GM Doug Wilson about it for years. (1:25:55) Sturm was part of two painful Sharks playoff losses, 2002 against the Colorado Avalanche and 2004 against the Calgary Flames. He shares his memories of both, and says if the Sharks had made the 2004 Stanley Cup Final, that maybe he could've played. (1:33:40) What was special about the Shark Tank during the years Marco played? He says it's tough to see the Shark Tank attendance like it is now. (1:38:20) In 2018, Sturm, now Team Germany head coach, led Germany to an Olympic silver medal, their first top-three finish in either the Olympics or World Championships since 1976. He shares what he did to help take German hockey to another level. (1:43:05) When did Sturm realize that he wanted to be a head coach? It wasn't during his playing career. (1:48:40) Sturm talks about being interviewed for San Jose Sharks head coach, including coming to San Jose for an interview. Did he ever talk with Hasso Plattner during the process? He also shared some interesting insight about Mike Sullivan as a young coach. (1:57:15)

Jonathan Becher joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! The San Jose Sharks' president talks about the Macklin Celebrini effect and why it took the Sharks so long to embrace the rebuild. But before we get to Becher (1:09:57), Sheng and Keegan talk about Celebrini signing his ELC. Where does Celebrini fit into the San Jose Sharks' line-up? What are our too early predictions for how many points that Celebrini scores in his rookie campaign? Who wins the 2025 Calder Trophy? (1:50) Ty Emberson also signed…does Emberson take a top-four defenseman job on the Sharks by the end of the season? GM Mike Grier hasn't added any blueliners via free agency, is that a sign of his confidence in younger D like Emberson, Shakir Mukhamadullin, and Henry Thrun? (36:26) Finally, we turn our focus on the San Jose Barracuda: Why did Nathan Todd leave? How impressive were GM Joe Will's free agent signings? (51:29) And now, Becher! (1:09:57) Three years ago, the San Jose Sharks seemed unwilling to go into a rebuild. Behind the scenes, what's changed in recent seasons, that the Sharks now embrace a rebuild? (1:11:00) How has owner Hasso Plattner's attitude changed about rebuilding? (1:13:47) Two decisions about the same player seem to speak to that shift of attitude? In Mar. 2022, the Sharks re-signed Tomas Hertl for eight years. Two years later, the Sharks traded him. (1:15:14) Plattner was recently spotted at the Jul. 4 prospects scrimmage: How much more involved is Hasso with the Sharks now? (1:17:22) What's the Macklin Celebrini effect on the Sharks, from the Draft Party to jersey sales to prospects scrimmage attendance to more? (1:19:26) What's so valuable about having so many San Jose Sharks alumni back with the organization? (1:29:26) Sheng has one more Hertl question for Becher. (1:32:38) What's going on with the Sharks' SAP Center management agreement? Becher said the terms change unfavorably against the Sharks on Jul. 1, 2025. What does that mean for how long the Sharks will play at SAP Center? (1:33:57) Finally, there's an ongoing lawsuit against the Sharks, Sharks Ice, and former Jr. Sharks coach Kevin Whitmer for failing to follow proper procedures to protect Jr. Sharks players from alleged pedophile Whitmer. What's the latest on the lawsuit? (1:39:00) Becher urges fans to get Joe Thornton retirement jersey tickets now -- they're selling fast! -- and shares that there will also be a Legends alumni game for Jumbo. (1:40:00)

In der 20. Kalenderwoche kommen unter anderem die Zahlen zum ersten Quartal von Bayer, die Hauptversammlung von SAP – wo eine Zeitenwende bevorsteht – sowie die Bilanz des zweiten Vierteljahres von Siemens. Im Fokus steht indes eine Veranstaltung, die schon seit mehr als zwei Dekaden eine besondere Rolle am Finanzplatz Frankfurt spielt und mit prominenten Teilnehmenden besetzt ist: Der Retail-Bankentag der Börsen-Zeitung. Welche Themen auf der Agenda stehen und welche hochrangigen Persönlichkeiten aus der Kreditwirtschaft und Finanzaufsicht dort sprechen werden, erläutert Chefreporter Detlef Fechtner im Gespräch mit Franz Công Bùi, der im Anschluss daran gemeinsam mit Sabine Reifenberger weitere Themen vorstellt, die in der kommenden Woche wichtig werden.

Here's our too-early San Jose Sharks' off-season plan!***Quick aside, Keegan's microphone is muffled a bit this episode. We're sorry, everyone! One day, we'll have pristine audio every single time. But not this day. This is kind of like those workplace accident signs where they knock off 100 days since the last accident and replace it with zero. Again. Sigh.***This week, Sheng and Keegan outline some potential off-season moves that could help make the 2024-2025 version of the Sharks be less embarrassing than this year's. (53:45)But before all that, we have a few quick-hitting topics this week (1:15). We start with Will Smith watch: Is he signing or not? (2:30)Sheng and Keegan preview the upcoming May 7th Draft Lottery odds and each run a simulation at Tankathon. Do the Sharks win? (6:10)We highlight what Sheng has heard about some potential candidates for Sharks head coach. (13:15)John McCarthy and the rest of the San Jose Barracuda coaching staff will be returning next season, despite some poor on-ice results. Why do Sheng and Keegan support their return? (29:30)The Sharks want goaltending coach Thomas Speer back, even after David Quinn was let go. (37:21)Finally, we revisit our pre-season bold predictions...how did Sheng and Keegan do? (42:20)Finally, our off-season plan! Which of their free agents should the Sharks keep or let go? Who should they target in the free agency market? Can they make a good trade? (53:45)How much cap and roster space could the San Jose Sharks have? (54:45)Which of the Sharks' UFAs and RFAs will they keep? Who should they allow to walk? (57:45)What's the order of positional need for San Jose this summer? (1:14:33)Let's talk to free agents first -- Sheng has a couple intriguing longshot UFA targets. (1:22:14)Keegan offers a longshot UFA signing at defense. (1:35:55)Then, Keegan shares his favorite lower-end UFA targets. (1:39:00)Sheng has a former Sharks defenseman in mind. (1:41:30)Finally, Keegan offers some forward UFAs with some upside. (1:46:10)That's free agency, how can the San Jose Sharks improve via trade? (1:58:24)Keegan proposes a Mikael Granlund trade. (1:58:44)Going back, Sheng discusses why the Mikey Eyssimont trade was such a mistake, and how the thinking behind the deal helped pave the way for a disastrous 2023-24. (2:03:30)What should Grier's trade philosophy be this summer? (2:16:25)Sheng is prioritizing distressed assets – who are a couple defenseman that the Sharks could target via trade? (2:17:55)How about a trio of center candidates? (2:20:51)Are the San Jose Sharks a better team with a couple of these realistic additions? (2:32:05) ★ Support this podcast ★

It's an emergency episode of the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast!San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier has fired head coach David Quinn.When did Sheng first get wind that Quinn's job might be in jeopardy? He had an idea on Monday. (1:10)What's our first reaction? Sheng argues that the Sharks' ill-constructed roster wasn't on Quinn, but more on Grier. (4:33)So if not the roster, did Quinn get fired because he didn't develop the young San Jose Sharks players? (23:00)Were Grier and Quinn on the same page about what they wanted out of the Sharks, their identity?Keegan wonders if player perception of Quinn doomed him. (26:40)Sheng and Keegan speculate on other reasons why Grier fired Quinn. Is Grier feeling the heat from above (read: Hasso Plattner) after back-to-back disappointing seasons? (34:40)Keegan argues there isn't much downside to letting Quinn go right now.Was Quinn a fall guy for Grier?What type of coach should the San Jose Sharks target in this stage of their rebuild? What about David Carle? (43:30)What are our thoughts about Grier keeping John McCarthy behind the San Jose Barracuda bench? (47:05)Finally, a note about the San Jose Sharks hoping to sign Will Smith.

In this interesting book review, we take a unique perspective on "Design Thinking" by examining three books: 'Design Thinking: Integrating Innovation, Customer Experience, and Brand Value' by Thomas Lockwood, 'Design Thinking: Understand – Improve – Apply' by Hasso Plattner, and 'This is Service Design Thinking: Basics, Tools, Case' by Marc Stickdorn and Jakob Schneider. What makes this review different is that we not only talk about stages of "Design Thinking" from these books, but also go deeper to add one more important stage to the "Design Thinking". Besides the main five stages —exploration, identification, ideation, visualization, and evaluation— there's one more stage: presentation. "Design Thinking" doesn't just change how we innovate, but it's also a thoughtful way to meet a need from the customer's point of view.

“Job security” is the buzz phrase in this subscriber's mailbag edition of the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast. From Sheng Peng to John McCarthy to David Quinn to Mike Grier to Jonathan Becher to Hasso Plattner to the literal concept of the Sharks in San Jose, everybody's job security is questioned. Alaskan_ice started us off nice though, wondering if Sheng or Keegan have ever "geeked out" during an interview?

(38:50) Just Steve inquired as to what the Sharks' scouting presence in Russia is. (49:10) Alex Genadinik wondered about Mike Grier's job security (51:00).

(1:46:30) Jamnjon asked how high would you pick a defenseman in the 2024 Draft? (1:51:00) SummoningSalt had this gem of a question: “In 1984, Wayne Gretzky injured his shoulder. In his time gone from the team, the Oilers went into a tailspin, losing 5 straight while being outscored 33-9. This included brutal beatings of 9-2 and 11-0. “Is it possible that Logan Couture is Wayne Gretzky and the Sharks are the 1983-1984 Edmonton Oilers?” (1:55:00) Brownagedon requested a detailed analysis of William Eklund's season. (1:56:20) Kristian wondered if a perfect storm is brewing to blow the Sharks out of San Jose, indirectly questioning Sheng's job security.

Christoph Meinel ist einer der wichtigsten deutschen Informatiker, IT-Professor in Potsdam und Leiter des Hasso-Plattner-Instituts (HPI) - noch. Denn Ende März hört er auf dieser Position auf, die er einst im Jahr 2004 angetreten war. Im Podcast spricht er über die wichtigsten Trends in der Informatik, ganz vorne: die Künstliche Intelligenz. Was können neue Sprach-Systeme wie ChatGPT? Verstehen sie wirklich, was sie schreiben? Wie unterscheidet sie sich von der Art und Weise, wie wir Menschen denken? Und was wird aus dem Internet, wenn solche KI-Systeme breiteren Einzug halten? Meinel, der etwa für seinen Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung des Internetprotokollstandards ausgezeichnet worden ist, erklärt die technologische, gesellschaftlichen Folgen - nicht zuletzt auch für unseren Energieverbrauch. Und er verrät, dass er noch längst nicht daran denkt, in den Ruhestand zu gehen: Längst plant er an einer digitalen Universität, an der Menschen rund um den Globus Informatik-Gebiete studieren und Abschlüsse machen können sollen.

Matthew Holloway shares what it was like to lead SAP's design thinking transformation, why designers need to get their house in order first, and the importance of purposeful rest. Highlights include: ⭐ What was it like working with Don Norman at Apple? ⭐ Does design maturity start with designers' maturity? ⭐ Why can't you impose design culture over night? ⭐ How can design leaders get a seat at the top table? ⭐ Do critics of Design Thinking have a legitimate axe to grind? ====== Who is Matthew Holloway? Matthew is an independent design consultant with over 25 years of experience scaling high performance product design teams for some of the world's largest companies. As VP in the Office of CEO at SAP, Matthew worked with Hasso Plattner (the Co-Founder and Chairman) and Henning Kagermann (the then CEO) leading the global Design Thinking transformation of SAPs 60,000-person development, sales and consulting services divisions. After leaving SAP, Matthew took on the role of VP of Product Design & User Experience for Shutterfly. While there he led an aggressive programme of ongoing product improvements, as well as a strategic programme that resulted in an estimated $50 million dollars of annual savings.  He has co-founded two companies, including Atlas Informatics - a machine learning based personal search technology - that counted Bill Gates, Nathan Myhrvold and Microsoft amongst its investors - and was acquired by Xinova in 2017. ====== Find Matthew here: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maholloway/ Website: https://matthewholloway.com/ Inside the Grateful Dead house: https://bit.ly/3yy2ZWH ====== Liked what you heard and want to hear more?

Vom Bäcker-Sohn zum ersten Decacorn-Gründer Deutschlands: Bastian Nominacher hat mit Celonis das wertvollste Startup Deutschlands aufgebaut. Process-Mining nennt sich das, was das Münchner Startup macht. Konkret heißt das: Algorithmen helfen Unternehmen dabei, Prozesse zu verbessern. Im OMR Podcast erzählt der Gründer, wie die Idee entstanden ist, warum man SAP-Gründer Hasso Plattner mal am Golfplatz aufgelauert hat und wie Celonis die eigene Software hilft, beim Recruiting schneller zu sein als andere.

Die EZB belässt die Zinsen wie erwartet auf dem bisherigen Niveau. Doch es gibt keine klaren Hinweise auf mögliche Schritte zur Inflationsbekämpfung. Angesichts der hohen Inflation im Euro-Raum ist zuletzt der Druck auf die Europäische Zentralbank (EZB) gewachsen, ihre Geldpolitik zu straffen. Doch auch nach der heutigen EZB-Ratssitzung gibt es keine konkreten Aussagen darüber, ob und wann es Zinserhöhungen in diesem Jahr geben könnte. EZB-Präsidentin Christine Lagarde beließ es einmal mehr bei Andeutungen. Ab dem dritten Quartal könnte das Anleihekaufprogramm beendet werden, doch auch hier wollte sich die EZB nicht auf ein konkretes Datum festlegen. Jan Mallien, der geldpolitische Korrespondent des Handelsblatts, hat die Beschlüsse der EZB in der neuen Folge von „Handelsblatt Today“ eingeordnet. Einerseits kann Mallien verstehen, dass die EZB weiterhin einen vorsichtigen Kurs fährt, da die Konjunkturrisiken infolge des Ukrainekriegs gestiegen sind und eine zu aggressive Geldpolitik die Rezessionsgefahr erhöhen würde. Andererseits sieht er in der unklaren Kommunikationsstrategie der EZB auch eine Gefahr: Es könnte der Eindruck entstehen, dass die EZB gar nicht willens ist, die Inflation entschieden zu bekämpfen, was wiederum Einfluss auf die Inflationserwartungen hätte und beispielsweise in Tarifverhandlungen einfließen könnte. Das wiederum könnte eine gefürchtete Lohn-Preis-Spirale auslösen. Außerdem: Ausgerechnet zum 50. Geburtstag werden beim Softwarekonzern SAP die Probleme immer präsenter: Der Umstieg auf cloudbasierte Produkte verläuft schleppend, gleichzeitig greifen Wettbewerber wie Salesforce oder Celonis den wichtigsten deutschen Tech-Konzern an. Der Vergleich mit einer Midlife-Crisis liegt aus der Sicht des Handelsblatt-Textchefs Christian Rickens nahe. Schließlich müsse sich SAP nach vielen erfolgreichen Jahren nun neu erfinden. „SAP hat den Anspruch, mit seiner Software alles abzubilden und miteinander kompatibel zu machen“, sagt Rickens im Podcast. Die Gefahr sei nun, dass die Spezialisten die Daten abgreifen, die SAP in großen Mengen abwerfe und damit für die Kunden einen Mehrwert schaffen. Eine ähnliche Situation habe es allerdings auch schon während der Nullerjahre gegeben, gibt Rickens zu bedenken. Zu der Zeit habe SAP-Mitgründer Hasso Plattner entscheidend dazu beigetragen, dem Unternehmen aus der Krise zu helfen. Jetzt kämpft SAP erneut darum, in einer Technologiewelt zu bestehen, in der Software zur Dienstleistung aus der Cloud wird und Künstliche Intelligenz Geschäftsprozesse von der Maschinenwartung bis zur Buchhaltung verändert. „Die Frage ist, ob Plattner und SAP-Chef Christian Klein diesen Wandel gemeinsam schaffen werden“, sagt Rickens. *** Exklusives Angebot für Handelsblatt Today-Hörer: Testen Sie Handelsblatt Premium 6 Wochen für 1 € und bleiben Sie immer informiert, was die Finanzmärkte bewegt.

Ein Kommentar von Bernhard Loyen.Worin könnten sich die Gründe finden, dass gerade die Deutsche Bundesregierung so immens radikal an den Maßnahmen zur sogenannten Corona-Krise festhält?Warum bestehen bei den beiden Hauptprotagonisten dieser politisch initiierten Massen-Drangsalierung, Kanzlerin Angela Merkel und Gesundheitsminister Jens Spahn, keinerlei Zweifel, nicht der Hauch einer Selbstreflexion, ob der eingeschlagene Weg der zurückliegenden Monate eventuell doch mehr Leid denn Gutes den Bürgern in diesem Land zumutet?Sind diese beiden Politdarsteller wirklich frei in ihren Entscheidungen?Kanzlerin Merkel nimmt man ihre staubtrockene Empathielosigkeit sofort ab. Erinnert sei an ihren Ausspruch in einem Interview mit dem Journalisten Günter Gaus im Jahre 1991: „Weil ich glaube, dass man in der politischen Arbeit auch zum Machbaren kommen muss und nicht zu lange sich ins eigene Diskutieren verlieben sollte.“ (…) Vielleicht habe ich da ein autoritäres Verhalten in mir.“ (1)Dass Jens Spahn nicht mehr als die Rolle eines berechenbaren und biegsamen Karrieristen darstellt, der über Jahre kontinuierlich aufgebaut wurde, Stichwort: Young Global Leaders (2) ist interessierten Bürgern inzwischen vertraute Tatsache.Es müssen also politische Gründe, auch Verpflichtungen existieren, die unsere Regierung dermaßen unflexibel in ihren Taten und Maßnahmen erscheinen lässt.Im Mai diesen Jahres fiel eine Entscheidung, die weitreichende Konsequenzen mit sich brachte. Wie diese ausschauen, zeigt sich in der Vehemenz der aktuellen Corona-Politik aus dem Regierungsviertel, exemplarisch durch die erneute Verlängerung der epidemischen Lage von nationaler Tragweite für weitere drei Monate.Pandemie-Frühwarnzentrum“ der WHO kommt nach Berlin, so informierte die Seite der Vereinten Nationen am 06. Mai 2021. Es soll, so die theoretische Idee des Projekts, eine bessere Vorbereitung vor zukünftigen globalen Gesundheitsbedrohungen gewährleisten. Offiziell heißt es, das Zentrum soll sich auf das Sammeln von Daten, Innovationen, Überwachung und Analytik spezialisieren (3).Als die Entscheidung der WHO publik gemacht wurde, dass final Berlin als kommender Standort den Zuschlag erhält, teilte die Kanzlerin umgehend ihre aktuelle Einschätzung der Lage mit: „Eine wesentliche Grundlage für den Kampf gegen zukünftige Pandemien sind Daten“(4). Drei aufschlussreiche Sätze wurden im Mai durch den WHO-Generaldirektor Tedros A. Ghebreyesus zur Feststellung der Notwendigkeit eines solchen Zentrums ergänzt: Corona habe die großen Lücken im globalen Daten- und Analysesystem bloßgelegt (…) Moderne Technologien böten jedoch neue Werkzeuge der schnellen Analyse und „Viren können sich schnell verbreiten, aber Daten können noch schneller sein“ (4)Als erstes Dankeschön für die Entscheidung pro Deutschland und Berlin durfte der hiesige Steuerzahler schon einmal die Anschubfinanzierung in Höhe von 30 Millionen Euro übernehmen (4).Zukünftige Expertisen sollen parallel begleitend durch das Robert Koch-Institut, die Berliner Charité, sowie durch das Hasso-Plattner-Institut für Digital Engineering erfolgen (5). Lothar Wieler und Christian Drosten als führende Berater des WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence? Das lässt nichts Gutes erahnen.Laut Eigenauskunft des dritten Instituts, lautet das generelle Anliegen der Hasso Plattner Foundation die Digitalisierung von Wissenschaft und Bildung voranzutreiben (6). Initialzündung für die Gründung einer eigenen Stiftung war für Hasso Plattner die Mitunterzeichnung der Giving Pledge.Giving Pledge war eine Initiative von Multi-Milliardären im Jahre 2009. Vordergründig wollte man hierüber die Mitmenschen weltweit am surrealen Reichtum Weniger partizipieren lassen. Bedeutet, scheinheilige Wohltaten für die Allgemeinheit ermöglichen, um die existierenden Visionen gelebter Philanthropie unter die Menschheit zu bringen. Ideengeber und erste Einzahler der Initiative „The Giving Pledge“ waren, welch' Überraschung, Bill Gates und Warren Buffett (7).Am Montag dieser Woche wurde medial schon einmal lanciert, wie sich treue Loyalität im politischen Pharma-Zirkus erneut auszahlt. In dem Falle für Kanzlerin Merkel. Zitat: Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO will am Mittwoch in Berlin ihr neues Pandemievorsorgezentrum feiern. Dabei soll auch Bundeskanzlerin Merkel eine überraschende Rolle spielen. Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) zeichnet Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel für ihr Engagement für die globale Gesundheit aus. Um Details macht die WHO aber noch ein Geheimnis – Merkel soll überrascht werden (8).Gab es eventuell noch andere Gründe für den neuen Standort Berlin? Die Sprecherin der WHO verriet recht unverblümt, einen Einfluss hätte auch Deutschlands Rolle in der Corona-Pandemie gehabt. Deutschland habe sich Zitat: “in den vergangenen Monaten und Jahren stark für die globale öffentliche Gesundheit und für die WHO eingesetzt“ (8).So kann man die federführende Nötigung ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste, hinsichtlich zerstörter Biografien, Perspektiven und psychischen Langzeitfolgen von Abermillionen Menschen, auch formulieren. Es erschließt sich nun, mit dem Wissen einer nahenden Einweihung eines Pandemievorsorgezentrums, hätten Lockerungen zugunsten der Bürger bei den sogenannten Corona-Maßnahmen politisch die falsche Signale an die WHO und Hintergrundaktivisten gesendet... hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/who-eroeffnet-pandemievorsorgezentrum-in-berlin-von-bernhard-loyenUnterstütze apolut:IBAN: DE40 8506 0000 1010 7380 26BIC: GENODEF1PR2Verwendungszweck: apolutKontoinhaber: apolut GmbHVolksbank Pirna eG_Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/apolutflattr: https://flattr.com/@apolutTipeee: https://de.tipeee.com/apolutInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/apolut_netFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/apolutTwitter: https://twitter.com/apolut_netOdysee: https://odysee.com/@apolut:a Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Der Kunstmäzen Hasso Plattner hat seine umfangreiche Sammlung bedeutender Impressionisten, darunter Monet, Renoir oder Signac, als dauerhafte Leihgabe dem Museum Barberini in Potsdam zur Verfügung gestellt. Seit 20 Jahren sammelt Plattner impressionistische Kunst.

Die Potsdamer Ausstellung lüftet gewissermaßen das Erfolgsgeheimnis des Museum Barberini. Weil die Sammlung Hasso Plattner großzügig weltweit ausleiht, konnte das Museum umgekehrt internationale Leihgaben für die bisherigen Wechselausstellungen gewinnen und so als junge Institution zum Publikumsmagneten aufsteigen. Die Sammlung des SAP-Mitbegründers Hasso Plattner entstand in nur zwanzig Jahren. Allein die 34 Gemälde von Claude Monet sind einzigartig außerhalb Frankreichs. Jetzt ist die Privatsammlung des Museumsgründers mit über hundert Werken der französischen Impressionisten und Neo-Impressionisten als Dauerausstellung ins Museum Barberini gezogen. Die Ausstellung sei ein Coup, meint Kunstkritikerin Simone Reber für SWR2.

Welcome to the recruitment hackers podcast. A show about innovations, technology and leaders in the recruitment industry brought to you by Talkpush, the leading recruitment automation platform.Max: Hello everybody. This is Max for another episode of the Recruitment Hacks from Max and today on our show, we have a personal friend of mine who I've known for over a decade, Mr. Darcy Lalonde. Darcy, welcome to the party. Darcy: Thanks max. Good  to chat. Max: Good to chat and I'm sure people will appreciate that from one entrepreneur to another entrepreneur, we have a lot of different hats to wear, but today I'm going to ask you to wear the hats of you as your Recruiter in Chief for most of your companies, even though your responsibilities have been much broader and wider than that. And we're talking about more than 20 years of experience in HR related roles, human capital, human capital technology and HR tech, and oftentimes in a leadership role at either the foundation, the start of a new company, or when that company was scaling, going from a few hundred to a few thousand people.And so we'll try to find out how you build those engines to understand, for somebody who also wants to scale up, you know, maybe find some tricks and ideas on how to attract more and better talent. So, there's a lot to cover in that 20 year history, but perhaps tell us a little bit about what you are to now… and yeah, let's go back a little bit in time. Tell us about how you, how you  started in HR and HR tech. Darcy: Well, it's interesting coming from a former ice hockey player, who became an accountant, got into IT and somehow got into human capital management, which I guess is a lesson learned for many of us, is that as a small child growing up, I had dreams of playing ice hockey. I never had dreams of being an executive in Human Capital. But it's funny how the different roads and I think one of the things that sport taught me was the importance of team, the importance of people, and one of the interesting things is that I've always found it to, you know, to often be the captain of the team and things like this as a kid.But, what really makes things, I think rewarding is the people around you. And, I think that was one of the things as I got into my career, that the people and the teams and the folks that work with you are so important. I've been I must say, over the last 20, 30 years started up a number of companies of which, you know, I'm very proud to say from a lot of the people that have actually joined those companies after another but have been the times of our lives.You know, I think that's part of creating the culture of your business and your ecosystem. Is that you know, you do have fun. You have a passion, you work hard, you play hard. You create loyalty. and you know, just one of the things that I very much enjoyed was the people aspect.And you know, I came through as an accountant and ended up in IT. And I guess it was interesting that I used to be very critical of human capital and HR professionals as being relatively non-effective. Not at the board. Max: I'm thinking about your introduction. This is very nice. And telling us about your story where you're talking about the competitive edge and your background in sports. And I guess the perception from the outside world is you know, HR and Talent Acquisition, Human Capital, all of that's not really for the competitive. Yeah. You know it's more of a support function where it's more about you know, making sure that everybody's taken care of as opposed to going out to win, is that what you're referring to when you were saying,  I didn't think I'd end up in that space? Darcy: Yeah. I guess, you know, one of my challenges that I've given many HR professionals over the last 20 years since you know, is really getting in the HR space in 2001, when I joined Arinso, you know, I'm a supply chain guy. I'm a finance guy.  you know, we have supply chains and value chains and activity based costing and all these things that drive and show, you know, qualified and quantified benefits. HR people, they go for coffee. They chat with people, you know, and I'm being a little bit facetious here obviously, but I do believe that…Max: That's the perception for sure.Darcy: It is the perception. And I don't think it needs to be, I think in today's world more than any time, the HR professionals have the opportunity to step up and really drive business and drive business benefits. Drive, you know, people, because you know, again— and I've been around a long time and, you know, people are our most important asset. That's been on everybody's webpage for about 10, 20 years now.But, do you really have an executive at your boardroom table who is strategically driving the benefits that your people can bring to your business? And can you as an accountant quantify that? Can you actually show the benefits? And at the end of the day, the financial impacts on the bottom line, top line and ultimately sharing.And I will say that's one of the things that I'm very, very big on is sharing the rewards of the company back to the employee. So that there's a direct correlation that says I make profit. I share it with you. I don't make them up. I can share it with you. Max: This challenge you say, more important now than ever. I think that some of that is because we're looking for people who are competitive in a world where maybe there's a generational shift where people often criticize millennials as being… Asking too much and giving too little. At the risk of sounding very old, what do you think about this  generational shift, do you think that it's true? Do you think that it becomes harder to find people who are willing to, you know, go to battle with you in this environment?Darcy:  Yeah. I guess I'm the edge of the baby boomers.Max: I thought you were gen X. Darcy: No, no, I just caught the end , but you know, it was interesting because I came into the business world when we were moving from mainframes to files, server computing, and I remember when I first came in as the young buck, they all found me very abrasive, very pushy,  very millennial.  I would say, you know, these crazy people that are going to work with, you know, local area networks and email and Microsoft products. You know I think at times it is a little bit oversold, the whole millennial concept and again, coming back max to recruiting and you really need a personal touch now to grab people, I mean, the attention span and  the ability to be very smart and have access to Google. My kids are smarter than me. Right. And they're 12 years old because they out-Google me. That's I think one of the things that you have to now be able to digitally connect to your people. And is that some of your first time points are reaching out digitally, but then you're trying to bring them in and get that, a little bit, that you are special, you are somebody that I'm actually targeting and focusing with. And I still believe people have the same inherent, you know, behaviors and needs Max: It's overblown. Basically. We think people make too much of a big deal of the generational gap. I tend to agree, but I also think that somehow, one of the reasons why you've been successful for 20 plus years is because you have found a way to attract a more competitive, more hungry group of professionals. You know, people who are just like in a hockey team they want to win. So, is that something that is built into the culture post on-boarding, or is that something that you figured out a way to do at the recruitment stage. Darcy: Yeah. Well, I, you know, I think the first meeting is that first touch, that first moment is a very important moment. And I guess I've hired people that ended up being some of my most successful executives over the phone. Didn't see them. All I heard was a voice and this was, you know, we didn't have zoom back 10, 15 years ago. You know, and I would have somebody fly in from Sydney flying to Manila show up for their first day.And it was really about, you know, having that feeling and just having somebody passionate and you know, talk about things. Like, look, I need somebody who just wants to get on a plane, do whatever it takes, but I'll tell you, when this thing takes off, then we're all going to have a heck of a rocket ship ride.And frankly, that was, in Asia, which was my second company Arinso. Starting up SAP, HR,  in Southeast Asia in the year 1999 sounded like the craziest thing in the world to me. SAP, very expensive, you know, Southeast Asia, particularly not investing in certainly human capital solutions, they were more focused on at that point, supply chain, finance, procurement things like that.And, you know, just going in and, having, my partner at the time, Josh ended up doing very well in life with our exit of Arinso.  I guess it was 12 years later. But coming in to AsiaMax: So from, from zero to a 50 million revenue plus business, something like that.Darcy: Yeah. I mean, it was funny because I was a Canadian living  in Asia and between Singapore and Manila. And I say, this fondly, this crazy Belgian guy Josh Slice, kept phoning me up and saying, look, we need somebody to start up this, you know, Asia. And he called it the far East. We need this far East group to be started.Max: For people who don't work in Asia, there is no such thing as the far East. It's not a real region, right?Darcy: No, I was still looking for the far East.Max: Yeah. We're talking about like 12 countries that speak 12 different languages with 12 different regulations and laws and so on. Starting North gate Arinso in Hong Kong and then into the Philippines, you had to hire across the far East as they call it in different countries. Recruitment was very different in different parts of Asia? Did you have to adapt your process or was it more, you know, company culture trumps everything and we'll worry about localizing later?Darcy: Yeah I think back then it was really sponsored by SAP coming into the region, so I had very good connections with the SAP community and there's a guy by the name of Les Hayman. Who's the head of SAP APJ. And Les is no longer with us, but it was just a fantastic man. And again, a great leader and an inspirational leader. And I guess my point is that I do believe that kind of leadership is something that, you create.I guess this was back when I had really long hair and I was even a bit more eccentric than I was even today. I went to Asia and got introduced to a few people and hired people. Frankly, those people still work for my companies today, a lot of them.So, but I think in those days you could really, word of mouth, it was a bit less of a mature market, so the competition was less. And I would say SAP HCM professionals in Asia, pretty well, every single person I almost see with, with 10 years of experience have worked for one of my companies. So it's something I'm very proud of, but also very proud of  that management group that I've created that, some of my best friends in the region.  But I think it really was word of mouth and less digital. And this was 20 years ago. Now on the recruiting front, we were doing things like Taleo and you know, some of the big,  enterprise stuff with Arinso. So that was really the infancy of it was the late 90s was really that whole targeted recruiting stuff was just coming in. Max: It sounds like a lot of that is relationship based and, word of mouth and that perhaps even though you are a technologist and you did sell these technology platforms that in your case, you know, what really drove recruitment marketing and talent attraction, was more around executive hiring and more around finding people who are passionate  and the human factor. Would you say that still holds true today that people, you know, we have vendors like Talkpush and others that make a big deal of the candidate experience, but the human elements is still King. Darcy: Yeah. I mean certainly think you have to frame a storyboard that, you know, brings an edginess to it. Again, the millennials are looking for that maybe more than they were in my generation. You know, my kids will say, dad, you met Richard Branson. Yeah, I did meet Richard Branson. I mean, stuff like this, people want to work for some of these types of people andMax: Right, you could put a picture of Richard Branson on your website and get a few more candidates perhaps.Darcy: Yeah. Well, I have pictures beside Bill McDermott and Jen Morgan and all these kinds of people, I think Les Hayman over the days, Hasso Plattner... I've been very blessed to…Max: I kind of know those names, but I don't think that millennials will care so much.I mean, it might help you attract a couple of executives. But, thinking about your time at Shore Solutions, where you went from 200 to 2000 call center agents in a period of two years. Those names would not have meant anything to those guys.Tell us about that strategy, how you did the ramp up there and the cool factor that you were able to build in order, to multiply the size of your business by 10 and in a short period of time.Darcy: Yeah. And I guess that's an example too, of having moved from professional services with SAP and consulting and, exiting that business. And then really I lived in Manila. So, if you're in Manila and you need something to do, you know what makes sense to do? Well, you do a call center. so that was you know, one of my objectives. And again, I think in terms of focus and target, obviously the call center industry is another completely different industry. I think it was very, really interesting for myself from a Human Capital Management Executive who had all the answers to all the best practices and processes. And now to take that from a more enterprise view into a contact center or BPO.  Which is all your recruiting particularly highly competitive market. Everybody's stealing from everybody and very much again, how do you create that vibe that creates the loyalty? You know, and, to be honest, I guess my people formula is what I like to call more of a waterfall, which is,  getting those top managers in  your leadership team, they have to be also the ones that create that vibe down to the next level and the next level and the next level.And, you know, we were, I think lucky enough, in the short that, you know, had a kind of, and I think I've framed him. He's this big Australian guy, John L. Smith, and kind of a rugby, big guy. So you got him and me and the hockey…Max: They sounds scary. Yeah, it sounds like they would scare the candidates away, not attract  them.Darcy: Well, you'd be surprised. There's this we're gonna, hang with these guys.  And I shouldn't say guys, cause I, you know, Shore was another one of the companies where I created I think one of my strongest management teams and I think you've met many of them, you know, the Tanya's and Lenny's and, and Jerry. We had  just a phenomenal group of people and not only were we hugely successful, but we had a ton of fun. We did stuff that, you know,  and again, Shore was also, you know, I think one of the best blends, cause it was two years, 200 to 2000. Max: So the fact that he had a ton of fun,  for our audience, mainly Talent Acquisition people. Were you able to put that into words or images in a way that it would attract people, how do you convey the message? You put pictures of your parties on the wall?Darcy: Yeah.  I mean, I think we did have  you know Tanya, who was my marketing lady at the time, did a great job of creating these sound bytes and clips. But it's also again, when they have those interviews and they have those touch points that you've got the right lead in, that, you know, you grab them quickly. Reputation then quickly takes over. And the reality is I don't like to overpay people, but I certainly like to pay people what they're worth. So it's another concept where, you know, I want people to have good lives, so I don't want to have the lowest salaries in the business. I want to have  people that can build and grow  and certainly the Philippines. Again, that's one of the most rewarding aspects. I think of being an executive there is, now with my 20 years of being there, I can count thousands of people that have changed their lives. And some of them from the poorest situations,  They work hard, they got passion. It's not always about which college they're from.  I liked the underdog. I liked the people that never got a chance. Yeah, and again, I think maybe from a sporting side, but what you want to do is maximize people's strengths, minimize their weaknesses, build on… You know, a team can't have all superstars.you need to respect the plotting accounts payable clerk, you know, it's okay to be a plotting accounts.. Max: Give everybody some love, pay them well, hope that the word of mouth and the positive sort of company culture resonates. And that generates some positive word of mouth, some referrals, and it sounds pretty simple when you say like that.Darcy: Yeah, it does. Max: There's no secret sauce. I feel the same way that it's better to pay a little bit over market rates and reduce attrition. And, then focus on everything else. And well, you don't have to promise the moon to anybody, you just build a good environment and hope that positive word of mouth carries you. Because really, if you get 20 or 30% of your hires through referrals, employer referral, that means you're doing a good job, right? Darcy: Yeah. Absolutely. And, again, the call center, you know, human capital market is  you know, again, I think where you do need to some degree focus on the nicheness of the marketplace. So you can't have one style fits all. When I'm recruiting an executive, it's going to be different than a volume recruitment. But, I guess the story should still be the same, right? The vibe of the company, because that's, you know, again, I think the challenge of trying to get it and you know, back 20 years ago I was much more involved with the operational side.So I was at the parties. I was at the coffee. I was at the lunches. I was in the middle of it… as I guess I've taken on more entrepreneurial and chairman roles and less operational, I need my team to be able to take that passion and, it can't be that you know, we're all disappointed because Darcy didn't come to the meeting. You can build that out in, and that could perhaps be a, you know, there's a certain size of business that I frankly don't enjoy as much as you know, I, I love them when we've got 10 people. A hundred people, a thousand people, when you get to 10,000, somebody else should buy my business and take it. And they should really get rid of me because I'm unmanageable. It's time to move to the next level. And, and, you know, I don't think I guess I don't take offense to that whole concept. I'm a bit proud of it. I guess that's my rebel side that says, you know, I'm good to a certain point. And then I can let some of these big, more corporate enterprise folks who are much smarter than me, take it over and take it to the next level. Max: Well, there's so many different definitions to intelligence. I don't know if they're smarter than you, but maybe  they're a little bit more political. Talking about the ideal number for a team. I've been doing some research on, you know, what would be happy. And I think that 2000 is already way beyond where I could foresee myself in the sense that I can not remember 2000 people's names. There was research done on the cognitive limits on the number of people that one can remember and be friends with in the community it's called Dunbar's number and numbers like around 150 to 200. I could see myself, you know, working with that, but it's different for everybody, for sure.But I think, some great advice there Darcy about enabling each of your leaders to become the engine for recruitment, rather than try to put it into a formula. Every team needs to have an inspiring leader that wants to create a fun environment in each o their teams and it's something that everybody can take away  from our conversation. What's in store for you in the future? I'm going to continue to, by the way for the listeners, Darcy was kind enough to give us a chance because he loves the outsiders so much that he decided to be my first customer at Talkpush some six years ago. And will  continue to advise Talkpush in its next phase of growth.What are you working on next? What are you working on now? Darcy: Well, I guess as you know, Max, I, was sure we had a small SAP group, which when I sold that to an Australian company and then we took the SAP piece, that share piece into something called Synchrony, which was again a company that about a year ago I sold to Rising, which is a big U.S partner. So, you know, put in a good year. I had a nice transition. I'm very proud to see that, you know, we became number one in Asia for SAP success factor partners. Within 12 months, we were named the number one partner in the region, which I couldn't be more proud of. And now they will become and they are probably the biggest global partner in the world. And that's what I set out to do. And I'm happy that you know, Rising will take it to the next level. So I guess I'm settling in the whole Corona thing, I guess COVID stuff is... Certainly created a challenge for all of us, which is just another challenge on the road. It's a tough one and when we go back max to the millennial discussions and things that, you know, I think we could argue, this generation was fairly entitled with very little resistance to their success. I think now ...Max: Think this will teach them a few lessons?Darcy: Well, I think I didn't have World War II. I didn't have a lot of the tough stuff that you know, our generations before us had. And boy, now we've got our World War III, literally, that we're going to have to deal with,  I'm looking forward to as we go through ….Max: So Darcy, thank you for sharing these cool insights and to wrap up our conversation, would you have any practical tips for employers today on how to stand out in a crowded group? You were competing for talent in some of the most crowded markets for talent across the BPO sector in particular in the Philippines and in Asia.How did you manage to stand out? And what tips do you have for talent acquisition professionals to build a different brand that doesn't look and sound like everyone else?Darcy: Well, I think number one from my perspective is to have a passion, love what you do, have the passion, the drive.  I think, you know, again in today's world, you have to digitize that. So again, it's to create the edge, you know. I build businesses, I start businesses. One of the things that I have learned over the last 10 years, particularly , and that was a great example was Shore was that you have to digitize that cool factor. And you know, as an entrepreneur, I think that is really the, absolute key is to lead by example, have the passion have the drive, bring in people that share that, then be able to digitize that because that is really how you can scale yourself and move yourself.And get the attention that, you know, in the old days might've been,  you could do that in events and whatnot. You know, frankly now you do this digitally. But , you know, one of the things, is a warning that I have is don't digital spam. Because I see companies right now. Gosh if, If I see another one of their LinkedIns they're  spamming everywhere.Max: LinkedIn is the worst. It is the absolute worst when it comes to spam. I mean, I don't know how they manage to do that, but it is mayhem out there. Absolutely. So, digitalization, we didn't spend too much time on, but obviously that's been a core theme running through your career is first build a great management team that's going to communicate the employer value proposition and then digitize it so that you're not overly dependent on individuals, I guess, to get the message out.Dacy: Yup. Yup.  I think in today's world again you know, I've always been able to manage multiple countries without being in them. At one time I managed 15 countries with the Arinso Middle East, Asia, Canada, delivery centers, and you know, I used to call it management by email. Because I, you know, again, that was the digital side 10 to 20 years ago. If you've got the right on the ground, what I always found was that at least with an email, the same message came at the same time to the same people.I'm not a big believer on conference calls and having calls for the sake of calls, because I've often found that my management team went away and they all took a different message out of it. Somehow. Probably tailored a little bit to their own benefit to a certain degree.Max: Yeah, you pick and choose. When it's black and white, there's less room for confusion. Saves a lot of time with calls. I've been trying to do more written asynchronous communication, which is another fancy way of saying email and spending less time on calls myself. That's a very powerful. Yeah. Alright, well, we're about done on time. Thank you Darcy for spending this time with me and with our listeners and looking forward to seeing what's next in store for you for the next entrepreneurial adventure.And thanks for all your advice throughout the years. Darcy: Okay, thanks max. And looking forward to seeing Talkpugh get to that next level. Keep up the good work buddy.That was Darcy Lalonde, friend of Talkpush, serial entrepreneur, who told us about how important it is to build a core executive team that's going to help to drive recruitment and share the fun of your company culture. Thank you, Darcy.

For the first time, SAP's most prestigious employee award was taken home by a single person, with a tool that is simplifying accounting. Previously, the manual creation of complex cross-company invoices took two to three days. Thanks to Nicolas's tool, processing time has been reduced to 20 minutes.

In einem Gespräch für die Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung hat der Mitbegründer, ehemalige Vorstandschef und heutige Aufsichtsratsvorsitzende des Softwarekonzerns SAP Klartext gesprochen. Das Interview erscheint an diesem Wochenende, in unserem Podcast haben wir die ersten O-Töne: Es geht um die intellektuellen Fähigkeiten der Menschen, die Verteilung von Informationen - und letztlich eben auch um Geld. Hinweis: Der zugehörige Text ist in der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung vom 22. (!) Dezember erschienen.

Im Bereich Informatik ist der Fachkräftemangel in Deutschland sehr hoch. "Wir machen jetzt alles mit Softwaresteuerung, was immer gesteuert, geregelt, kontrolliert wird, wird mit Software gemacht, sie wird also überall gebraucht, deswegen ist der Bedarf so gestiegen", so Plattner.

Martin Wezowski, Chief Designer und Futurist bei SAP, ist 1984 im Alter von 14 Jahren mit seinen Eltern von Polen nach Schweden ausgewandert. Wir sprechen mit ihm über Punk Rock, die wachsende Bedeutung von Design, über Innovation, neue Technologien und über Philosophie und Purpose. Martin berichtet uns davon, wie sich SAP in den letzten Jahren zunehmend wieder zu den Wurzeln bekennt, als die Gründer sich bei IBM verabschiedeten, um ihre eigene unternehmerische Story zu schreiben. Dazu gehört auch die Geschichte von Hasso Plattner, der durch sein Engagement in Stanford und Potsdam eine wichtige Rolle für das Thema Design Thinking spielt. Wir diskutieren mit Martin außerdem über die drei Horizonte, mit deren Hilfe SAP das aktuelle Geschäft, die Prognosen für die Zukunft und wirklich transformative Innovationen angeht. Mit dem Wissen über die drei “A´", nämlich Automation, Augmentation und Autonomy (of people at work) will SAP seine über 90.000 Mitarbeiter für die Zukunft fit machen. Wir lernen unter anderem, wie eine Analogie mit einem Museum dabei hilft, Ideen für die Zukunft zu kuratieren und warum “Unlearning” zu einem wichtigen Thema wird. Die Zeit vergeht für uns wie im Flug und wir sind wieder einmal begeistert und dankbar, dass wir solche Gespräch führen können.

He loves to consume that, makes sense out of it and use it in his everyday work to give people things that they have never seen before and make their lives more interesting.Art has always been something which has interested Jason, whether this is doodling or scribbling at 6 years old to water color paintings. He found that the reaction that he would get from others is what drives him to do this.In the 90s, he found himself in his cubicle observing how hundreds of employees were so out of touch while they are working towards one goal. He thought, if he was the owner of the company, he would ensure interaction amongst employee and with customers to drive innovation. He would create a culture where everyone is on a level playing field. This will snowball to happier employees who can laugh and joke about things which can spawn to a more comfortable, creative environment.Jason looks at a career in three phases: when you first join a company, when you are cruising along or in cruise control and when you feel like you are winding down. He shares that at one point, when he would feel that he will not be staying with the company much longer, he would become a rebel. This would either accelerate the speed of him leaving the company or people will turn around and say that it was cool and he gets promoted. His realization from this is that he should’ve expressed himself from the get go. But to those who want to do this, you need to note that this has a lot to do with the management so feel out the environment that you are in and explore their receptiveness prior. There is no company which do not want to be innovative; they just need to understand the reasoning behind the first couple of steps that you are taking. This is the key so show them.Jason shares that he embodies design thinking. You will know that you do too if you are still thinking about design even if you are no longer at work. You can walk into a restaurant and just see a Push/Pull sign but with no handle and go, ‘Who designed this?’ This is important because to help a company innovate or change is to be the change. You have to embody or imbue this energy yourself.To incorporate design thinking in your company, have different entry points to make it really easy for people in whatever level to get into this. Then run this through a lean method approach to measure learning to ensure that you meet whatever outcome you want it to have. Continue what works and get rid of those which do not. Adapt the technique of incremental fusion of design thinking as well where you would start small to get buy ins, continue building rapport, and have the fusion continue to gain momentum as it gets those successes. There are also specific items which a company should have to promote design thinking so ensure that you work in the background to provide these resources to make this successful. There is no company out there that this design thinking process can’t help innovate on. This is not just for technology or programmers only so this means that if you see problems in the world, you can fix those problems.

  Kurzportrait von Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel Christoph Meinel (Univ.-Prof., Dr. sc. nat., Dr. rer. nat., 1954) ist wissenschaftlicher Direktor und Geschäftsführer des Hasso-Plattner-Instituts für Softwaresystemtechnik GmbH (HPI). Christoph Meinel ist ordentlicher Professor (C4) für Informatik und hat den Lehrstuhl für Internet-Technologien und –Systeme am HPI inne. Daneben ist er in der Innovationsforschung aktiv, die mit der Stanforder Innovationsmethode des Design Thinking in Verbindung steht Prof. Dr. Meinels ausführliche Biografie   Kontakt Website   Mobile Apps Spiegel Online   Tools Outlook Google    Musikempfehlung Bach Mozart   Buchempfehlung Die Begegnung von Edison und JP Morgan  (Anthony McCarten) - Gebundende Ausgabe - Ebook   Für den heutigen Podcast habe ich mir einen ganz besonderen Gast eingeladen, denn in dieser Podcast-Episode soll es heute vor allem um das Thema Datensicherheit und -speicherung in einem gewaltigen Zukunftsmarkt - der Gesundheitswirtschaft - gehen. Patientendaten sind wohl die persönlichsten und wertvollsten Informationen eines Menschen. Und es fällt nicht schwer, uns vorzustellen, dass der Besitzer dieser Daten eine enorme Macht in den Händen hält.   Die Digitalisierung ist allem Zweifel zum Trotz nun auch in dieser Branche angekommen. Wir beobachten, wie sich Global Player wie Apple oder Google Marktanteile sichern aber auch Start-ups sich etablieren wollen, wie z.B. LifeTime mit der Digitalisierung medizinischer Dokumente sowie die Vernetzung von Arztpraxen und Patienten oder auch das Unternehmen TeleClinic mit der Videosprechstunde auf dem Smartphone. Nicht zu vergessen, dass bereits 2003 vom Bundesministerium für Gesundheit und Soziale Sicherung initiierte Projekt der elektronischen Gesundheitskarte als digitale Patientenakte.   Um einmal auszuleuchten, welche Denkprozesse und Innovationen hier in Deutschland zu diesem Thema angestrengt werden, spreche ich heute mit dem wissenschaftlichen Direktor und Geschäftsführer des Hasso-Plattner-Instituts für Softwaresystemtechnik. Hasso Plattner ist übrigens einer der Gründer von SAP. Mein Gesprächspartner ist Professor für Informatik und leitet den Lehrstuhl für Internet-Technologien und –Systeme am HPI. Im Fokus seiner Forschung steht die Frage nach einem effizienten und sicheren Umgang mit Big Data und der Erschließung von Potenzialen des Cloud Computing.   Es ist einfach unglaublich was dieser Mann in seiner Laufbahn vollbracht hat und es wäre einfach viel zu lang für ein Podcast Intro. Deshalb verlinken wir Euch die Biografie von ihm gern in den Shownotes zu dieser Podcast-Folge.   Doch nun lasst uns anfangen und freut euch jetzt auf ein spannendes Gespräch mit Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel.   Noch ein wichtiger Aufruf: Es geht nicht ohne dich.

Following their annual tradition, Jon Reed and Dick Hirsch steal an empty room - or in this case, a (mostly) empty hallway - for a review of the news and events of Sapphire Now and the ASUG Annual Conference, 2016. Hirsch shares his investigations, and the guys compare notes on topics such as the HANA Cloud Platform, the SAP-iOS partnership, and S/4HANA clarifications. The guys discuss S/4HANA's viability as a digital core, SAP's cloud positioning, and how attendees reacted. Customer feedback to SAP on integration, a big theme of the conference, is addressed. This podcast leans on the technical side, which was surprising given Sapphire Now is a business conference - but even Hasso Plattner's final day keynote had an in-depth S/4HANA migration demo.

The big news in the recent past is Todd McLellan leaving the team, and the Dudes talk about whether he quit, was fired, or both.  Also on the docket – the Hasso Plattner letter, the announcement about the arena, the draft pick lottery, and first round playoff results.

In this Sapphire in Review mega-edition podcast, Jon Reed Interviews Kent Bettisworth, President of Bettisworth and Associates, and gets his take on the key themes of Sapphire 2008. Kent is a senior Project Systems snd Fixed Asset consultant whose company also offers SAP System Access in conjunction with Michael Management. After you listen to this podcast, you will understand why Kent is one of Jon's "go to" people when it comes to analyzing SAP skills trends and staying ahead of the skills curve. During this back-and-forth discussion, Jon asks Kent for his reaction to the SAP keynotes and the trends Kent noticed in terms of SAP-for-the-BlackBerry, Business by Design, Role-Based Portals and beyond, and the emphasis on personalization and useability of SAP - not always SAP's strongest aspect historically. A major focus of the podcast is a closer look at the so-called "SAP Skills Shortage" and how SAP professionals should respond. Topics covered in this podcast include: - Kent's take on the keynotes, and why he was struck by Hasso Plattner's emphasis not only on Role-Based Portals but even more personalized user experiences, leveraging the technology being developed for Business By Design. Kent also talks about the SAP-for-the-BlackBerry announcement and which parts of the enterprise should be most impacted. - Jon asks Kent for the key trends driving SAP staffing, and Kent explains that at the conference and in his own client work, the major driver is still core upgrades as well as merger and acquisition implementation activity. Kent does make a distinction between the type of SAP consulting activity we see today versus what we saw in the mid-90s. He talks about the focus on technical upgrades, but that his clients are also doing functional enhancements in targeted areas. Business Intelligence is also a factor now. - The so-called "SAP Skills Shortage" was a major talking point at the SAP press conference. Jon asks Kent for his view, and Kent agrees that the skills shortage is not so much across the board as targeted in specialized areas of higher demand. He also thinks that part of the issue is that SAP customers have a harder time leveraging the skills of less-experienced SAP folks (under five years). Kent shares some ideas around a mentoring structure that would allow clients to take better advantage of less experience talent in conjunction with senior mentors such as Kent. - Jon asks for Kent's take on how specialized an SAP consultant needs to be in order to be successful, and gets Kent's take on a situation where his work was balanced on a project by another expert in the product costing area. - Kent delves into the Project Systems area of specialization, and related skills in Fixed Assets and Portfolio Management. He shares the latest trends in Project Systems consulting in areas related to capital management, revenue, and investment management. Kent also tells Jon what the value is in the xRPM xApp and how it fits into the landscape of SAP functionality. xRPM is different from classic PS work in that it involves more technical skills in BI and Portals work in order to implement it. - The talk then moved into a discussion of how SAP system access can help a consultant get a better feel for these emerging areas in PS and Investment Management, as well as other new areas of SAP. Jon and Kent talk about how the SAP ecosystem can be a great source of self-education for the SAP professional in transition. - Last but not least, the last segment of the podcast gets into Jon and Kent's debate about the Business Process Expert skill set. Kent has maintained that the best SAP consultants have always had a business process focus. But Kent also agrees that today's BPX world has new communities (like the BPX community) and new tools to master. Kent talks about how he always saw the value of business process management expertise, whether it was Six Sigma or Total Quality Management. - Jon and Kent talk about the pieces Jon has done on SAP configuration skills and whether they are going away anytime soon. Jon and Kent talk about the ideal skill set for the SAP consultant - a combination of focused specialization in a marketable niche with a broader (but related) business process and industry expertise.

When Henning Kagermann became the sole CEO of SAP in 2003 a position he had formerly shared with company co-founder Hasso Plattner he faced a number of challenges including an economic slowdown that hurt SAP's growth. Kagermann quickly reshaped the company's product offerings and adjusted its market focus to position SAP for the next generation of software. But because SAP's software is critical for many businesses change requires a delicate balance between progress and stability. Knowledge at Wharton recently sat down with Kagermann in New York City to discuss his vision of SAP's future. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
