 In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I spotlight a powerful joint message from two of Europe's top tech CEOs, Siemens CEO Roland Busch and SAP CEO Christian Klein, who are urging the European Union to reconsider its AI legislation.Highlights00:03 — The CEOs of Siemens and SAP have urged the EU to reconsider its AI legislation, expressing concerns that the current law hinders innovation. SAP CEO Christian Klein and Siemens CEO Roland Busch are advocating for a new regulatory framework that supports AI innovation rather than stifling it. Busch cited the EU's AI Act as the reason that Europe is falling behind.00:46 — Klein echoed these concerns. Both CEOs believe the first step should be reevaluating the existing legislation affecting AI innovators in Europe. While the AI Act is designed to ensure the safe development and deployment of AI technologies, it also risks stifling innovation.01:17 — This can lead to monopolization and hold back key innovators in the EU who are working collectively with their global partners to create what will become the cornerstones of the AI era. And there's a strong case for collaboration here. Both tech companies and legislators need to align in establishing the foundations for a thriving yet safe AI operations landscape.

Chain.io is a vertical integration platform deeply embedded in the shipping and logistics space, helping connect massive freight companies with retail brands through the millions of messages required to track shipments and navigate customs. With $18 million in funding, the company has positioned itself as critical infrastructure for an industry that became front-page news during COVID. In this episode, Brian Glick shares hard-won lessons about building in a legacy industry, the realities of enterprise sales cycles, and why he never took himself out of the sales process. Topics Discussed: Building vertical iPaaS for logistics before the category existed in supply chain How COVID accelerated understanding of data movement as a strategic problem The challenge of selling complex integration technology to legacy industries Transitioning from founder-led sales while maintaining founder involvement Using podcasting as relationship-building infrastructure for 10-year customer lifecycles Building authentic employee thought leadership without formal programs The impact of AI on traditional integration and data movement businesses GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Don't fully remove yourself from enterprise sales—strategically deploy your founder advantage: Brian learned that completely stepping back from sales was a mistake. Instead, he discovered the power of strategic founder involvement: "As a founder I am an incredible asset to my team, but that doesn't mean I have to be on every meeting." He now enters deals at the beginning to build relationships, trusts his sales team to advance opportunities, then returns at crucial moments to help close negotiations. This approach maximizes founder value while empowering the sales team. Timing pain points matters more than pain intensity: Chain.io experienced a counterintuitive sales pattern during COVID—initial uptick as customers felt pain, followed by a downturn when pain became overwhelming. Brian observed: "A little bit of pain is good for sales... when it gets too much pain, people freeze up." B2B founders should recognize that acute customer pain creates urgency, but excessive pain paralyzes decision-making. The sweet spot is when customers feel enough discomfort to act but retain capacity to evaluate new solutions. Legacy industries require relationship-based, not scale-based GTM motions: After trying to build a "standard SaaS BDR SDR style go-to-market machine," Brian realized it was wrong for both his market timing and industry culture. He pivoted back to relationship-driven sales focused on live events and consultative engagement. For enterprise logistics customers making decisions that affect 40 countries, "nothing is simple and no decision is made by one person who's going to click a buy now button." Founders in traditional industries should think more like SAP than HubSpot. Use podcasting as relationship infrastructure, not lead generation: Brian launched his podcast "almost day one" as free marketing, but discovered its real value in relationship building for long sales cycles. He doesn't track metrics or measure ROI traditionally, noting: "I know that I've gotten a CIO of a major freight company... [who] sent me a screenshot of my podcast... and I know how much that one customer pays me is more than I've ever invested in the podcast." For B2B founders with complex sales cycles, content should build relationships rather than optimize for attribution. Build category understanding through customer education, not just problem-solving: When Chain.io launched in 2017, "that category did not exist in supply chain." Brian spent years helping customers understand that data movement was a strategic, first-tier problem rather than something "you tack on the end of some other project." Category creation often requires patient market education—founders must be prepared to invest in customer understanding before expecting rapid adoption, especially in conservative industries.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Im neuen Podcast mit Stefan Brink und Niko Härting dreht alles um gescheiterte Projekte. Zunächst werfen wir einen Blick auf das FAZ-Gespräch mit den Vorstandschefs von SAP und Siemens, Christian Klein und Roland Busch. Sie lehnen sich gegen aus ihrer Sicht gescheiterte EU Digitalrechtsakte auf: Der AI-Act sei der Grund, warum die Unternehmen in Sachen KI nicht Vollgas geben könnten, der Data-Act sei „toxisch für die Entwicklung digitaler Geschäftsmodelle.“ Sodann geht es (10:31) um die im Bundestag gescheiterte Wahl zum BVerfG am 11.7.: Trotz Vorschlag des Richter-Wahlausschusses an den Bundestag zeigten mehr als 50 CDU-Abgeordnete dem Fraktionschef Jens Spahn an, die von der SPD vorgeschlagene Kandidatin Prof. Brosius Gersdorf (Staatsrechtlerin Uni Potsdam) nicht wählen zu wollen. Ein Debakel für Regierungskoalition, die parlamentarische Arbeitsteilung im Richter-Wahlausschuss scheint nicht mehr zu funktionieren. Weiter geht es (20:09) mit einem Urteil des Verwaltungsgerichts Bremen (4. Kammer, Urteil vom 23. April 2025, Az: 4 K 2873/23): Die aufsichtsbehördliche Untersagung einer zu Werbezwecken durchgeführten nachvertraglichen Datenverarbeitung zur Reakquise ursprünglicher Kunden scheiterte, eine zu Werbezwecken durchgeführte nachvertragliche Datenverarbeitung von länger als sechs Monaten könne durchaus auf ein berechtigtes Interesse nach Art. 6 I f DS-GVO gestützt werden. Abschließend sprechen Niko und Stefan (27:56) über das Urteil des OLG Frankfurt a.M. (10.07.2025 - 6 UKl 14/24): Die Deutsche Bahn wollte den Erwerb von „Spar“- und „Super-Sparpreistickets“ nur gegen Mailadresse oder Handynummer ermöglichen – einer Unterlassungsklage von Verbraucherschützern gab das OLG nun statt. Eine Einwilligung sei mangels Freiwilligkeit nicht wirksam, für die Vertragserfüllung seien die Angaben ebenso wenig erforderlich wie für die Verwirklichung überwiegender berechtigter Interessen. So viel Scheitern war selten!

A recent management buyout of Britehouse from NTT Data – previously Dimension Data – has put the software development house on a new trajectory. In this episode of the TechCentral Show, Duncan McLeod chats to Britehouse executive chairman Graham Parker about the MBO of Britehouse Mobility and what it means for the future of the business. Dimension Data acquired the 60% of Britehouse it didn't already own in a 2015 transaction, buying out shareholders that included Remgro and Convergence Partners. The IT group had held a 40% stake since 2007 before buying out other shareholders eight years later. “Britehouse is embarking on a new era of innovation and independence following a management buyout transaction that effectively acquired the business from NTT Data,” a statement at the time said. “The acquisition from NTT Data marks a pivotal moment in Britehouse's journey.” Following the deal, Britehouse Mobility will operate as a fully independent company. The Britehouse brand will cease to exist inside NTT Data, but the latter will retain the enterprise applications business, with specific focus on SAP and Microsoft, it said. “After several successful years of operating as part of the global NTT Data group, Britehouse is excited to return to its roots as an independent, South African-led business,” said Parker at the time. Parker tells the TechCentral Show about: • His history with Dimension Data and Britehouse; • The story of Britehouse; and • What the business looks like today, and management's plans for growth.

Steven Forth has been a frequent guest on Impact Pricing and is a co-creator of the COMPASS framework. Michael Mansard is the Principal Director of Subscription Strategy at Zora. He's an investor in and mentor to several startups, and he started his career in consulting at companies like Deloitte and SAP, so he knows a lot. In this episode, Steven and Michael dive deep into the COMPASS framework for evaluating pricing metrics in the age of AI and agentic systems, exploring how traditional SaaS economics are being turned upside down and why companies need to move away from user-based pricing models.   Why you have to check out today's podcast:  Learn why AI pricing fundamentally breaks the traditional SaaS model of "expensive to build, cheap to run". Understand the COMPASS framework's 14-question assessment for selecting optimal pricing metrics. Explore the accelerating cycles of pricing complexity and simplification across technology waves.   "I think that most people are clueless and do not want to admit that they're clueless. And I think admission is key because admission leads you to a scientific approach to pricing and enables you to accept, to try smaller samples, especially in the age of AI."  – Michael Mansard   Topics Covered:  02:08 – How Michael got into pricing  03:12 – Defining business models vs. pricing models vs. pricing metrics  06:22 – Introduction to the COMPASS framework and why it exists  07:25 – How AI flips traditional SaaS economics on its head 08:03 – The gym membership paradox in AI pricing 11:05 – Steven's perspective on whether pricing fundamentals have changed  24:20 – Pricing evolution cycles and their accelerating speed  27:39 – How COMPASS captures competitive differentiation  34:28 – Michael's pricing advice on embracing iteration and admitting uncertainty   Key Takeaways: "I've seen more change in my part of the technology world in the last six months than I've seen in my entire lifetime." – Steven Forth “If you price it per user, the more a user uses it, the worse margin it would yield. And that's a problem, right? So I call that the gym membership paradox." – Michael Mansard "We need to change the metric. Now the billion dollar question is what metric? And the raison d'être of that framework is exactly that. It's to help people navigate, hence the notion of COMPASS." – Michael Mansard   People / Resources Mentioned:  COMPASS Framework: 14-question assessment for pricing metrics: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/compass-agentic-ai-pricing-metric-framework-your-2-part-mansard-f9qqe  Roger Martin Strategic Choice Cascade: Framework for aligning pricing with business strategy: https://rogermartin.medium.com/decoding-the-strategy-choice-cascade-475d40555eb1 John Maeda's "The Laws of Simplicity": Design principles applicable to pricing models: https://lawsofsimplicity.com/  Karan Sood: https://www.linkedin.com/in/soodkaran/  PriceFX: Company introducing 125 agents: https://www.pricefx.com/ and https://lp.pricefx.com/agents_trial.html   Connect with Steven Forth:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenforth/  Email: steven@ibbaka.com   Connect with Michael Mansard:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelmansard/    Connect with Mark Stiving:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/  Email: mailto:mark@impactpricing.com  

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down Google Cloud's explosive Q2 performance — including a 32% revenue jump, a $106 billion backlog, and a surge in billion-dollar deals.Highlights00:14 — We saw a great re-acceleration by Google Cloud. In Q2, it recorded great numbers across the board. I think what this shows is that large enterprises are buying fully into the Google Cloud value proposition. It's made huge strides there. These are AI-hungry customers who realize they've got potentially a great partner in Google Cloud.01:05 — Q2 revenue for Google Cloud was up 32% to $13.6 billion. The backlog for Google Cloud was up 38% to $106 billion. This is a number that Google Cloud has not released publicly before. It was buried deep in their numbers. But it brought it up on the earnings call. One quarter ago, it was about $90 billion. It's now at $106 billion. Billion-dollar deals surged.02:39 — It added 28% more in Q2 than it did in Q1 — huge. Again, a sense of momentum. It's bringing in new revenue, new customers, new prospects. Also, Google Cloud's parent company, Alphabet, is boosting CapEx by $10 billion for this year — up from the original $75 billion plan.03:38 — I'll be looking to see, on July 30, when Microsoft releases its numbers: did they see the same kind of growth acceleration that Google Cloud did? In Q1, Google Cloud's revenue grew 28%. This quarter, it improved to 32%. While Microsoft's cloud business is much bigger than Google Cloud, it's understandable that Google Cloud would have a higher growth rate.04:35 — Google Cloud is doing a lot of things right — from its AI-native technology and cloud infrastructure business, to what it's doing in data analytics, and the way it's forged partnerships with everybody: Oracle, SAP, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Workday. It's really opened it up.05:00 — It's making it easier for customers to put together the complex types of solutions needed as we move into this very different future. Hats off to Google Cloud and Thomas Kurian for a great quarter. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

And they reported recently—SAP did—a very strong Q2. But there were a couple wrinkles in there.01:02 — The cloud revenue was up 24% to $6 billion. But in Q1, the growth rate was 25%, so a slight dip in the growth rate in Q2. Current cloud backlog in Q2 was 22%; that 22% is well down from Q1's 28%. It expected the backlog growth to moderate through the rest of the year. But this is a pretty big drop. It saw a re-emergence of uncertainty in the market in the second quarter.AI Agent & Copilot Summit is an AI-first event to define opportunities, impact, and outcomes with Microsoft Copilot and agents. Building on its 2025 success, the 2026 event takes place March 17-19 in San Diego. Get more details. 02:08 — He noted in the U.S., in the public sector, the DOGE impact has slowed things down a little. On the flip side, Klein said, Now, we've got some mega deals that are out there. He said, I don't think they're going to disappear, but they have been postponed . . . There's a little more rigor in getting approvals for those. But he said, I think that will come through.03:20 — I would also say that at the size that SAP is at now, it's a $24 billion run rate,r 24% growth is quite good. And this current backlog growth of 22% in itself is also very strong. But a couple of quarters ago, its backlog grew 32%, then 25%, now 22%. So it's fair to say, is a trend.04:10 — Overall, it is an interesting time now for buyers, I think more broadly, since some of this uncertainty that Klein referred to around tariffs—I think a lot of that uncertainty is going away. We just heard this announcement of the U.S. and Japan in a $550 billion deal. I think this is going to alleviate some of the concern that SAP customers expressed and that Klein referred to.

In this episode, we sit down with Angie Warner, farm manager at the Old Mill and an eighth-generation farmer. Angie shares her journey from working as a pastry chef in Montreal restaurants to growing specialty crops at the Old Mill, emphasizing the value of hands-on learning and the lessons found in mistakes. She reflects on the unique challenges of farming for a restaurant's tasting menu, explains how radicchio is “forced” to enhance its flavor, and opens up about what it means to be the eighth generation striving to preserve her family's land. Driven by a deep respect for the past and a commitment to a sustainable future, Angie's mission is to make the Old Mill a lasting institution—one that reconnects people with the origins of their food for generations to come.Old Mill Restaurant: https://www.espaceoldmill.com/en/ Timestamps[0:00] Intro[5:47] Discussion on "forced radicchio" and other unique farming techniques.  [14:11] The unique challenges of farming for a restaurant versus a market.  [27:36] Generational farming, protecting agricultural land, and family history.   [42:15] Learning through mistakes and continuous personal growth in farming.  [53:27] Aspirations for Michelin recognition and the Old Mill's future potential.  [1:07:17] Ecological soil practices and experimenting with mushroom compost.  [1:14:58] Angie's inspirations and mentors in the farming world.  [1:34:04] Sap analysis and foliar sprays for precise nutrient management.  [1:36:55] What brings Angie the most joy in farming and her long-term vision.  [1:41:47] Rapid Fire Q&A.SponsorsTessier: Use promo code MGI10 for 10% off and free shipping on your first purchase for the Eastern North American regions https://info.serres-guytessier.com/en/tessier-mgi10?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Tessier+MGI+podcastNew Society Publishing: Use code market25 for 25% off all bookshttps://newsociety.com/?utm_source=The%20Market%20Gardener%20Podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=Sponsorship Links/ResourcesMarket Gardener Institute:  https://themarketgardener.com Masterclass:  https://themarketgardener.com/courses/the-market-gardener-masterclass Newsletter:  https://themarketgardener.com/newsletterBlog:  https://themarketgardener.com/blog Books: https://themarketgardener.com/booksGrowers & Co: https://growers.coHeirloom: https://heirloom.ag/The Old Mill: https://www.espaceoldmill.com/en/Follow UsWebsite: http://themarketgardener.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/marketgardenerinstitute Instagram: http://instagram.com/themarketgardeners Guest Social Media LinksAngie:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angie.warner7Old Mill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/espaceoldmill/ JM:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeanmartinfortierFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeanmartinfortier

W najnowszym odcinku Raportu Międzynarodowego Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz rozmawiają o likwidacji przez prezydenta Wołodymyra Zełenskiego niezależności służb odpowiedzialnych za walkę z korupcją – Narodowej Agencji Antykorupcyjnej (NABU) i specjalnej prokuratury do wali z plagą złodziejstwa wśród elit i urzędników – SAP. Po podporządkowaniu ich ludziom prezydenta na ulicę wyszli Ukraińcy. Protesty rozpoczęły się w Kijowie, Lwowie, Dnieprze i innych miast. W stolicy protesty mogły zgromadzić nawet do 15 tys. osób. Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz zastanawiają się dlaczego Zełenski bał się NABU i SAP? I jaki jest związek pomiędzy odwołanymi niedawno wicepremierami – Ołeksijem Czernyszowem i Olhą Stefaniszyną – a śledztwami, które prowadziło NABU i SAP. Po podpisaniu przez Zełenskiego stosownej ustawy obie instytucje będą zależne od prokuratury, która będzie miała wgląd w niezależne do tej pory śledztwa. Decyzjom już sprzeciwiła się UE grożąc zamrożeniem rozmów o akcesji Ukrainy do Unii. W dalszej części podkastu autorzy analizują sytuację na froncie. Omawiają znaczenie wtargnięcia do Pokrowska rosyjskich grup dywersyjno-rozpoznawczych. I dyskutują o zmasowanych atakach rosyjskich na miasta ukraińskie oraz ukraińskiej odpowiedzi polegającej na paraliżu moskiewskich lotnisk. Jurasz i Parafianowicz analizują również znaczenie uderzeń w banki rosyjskie i oceniają skuteczność zachodnich sankcji nałożonych na państwo rządzone przez Władimira Putina. W dalszej części podkastu dyskutują o zarzutach popełniania zbrodni wojennych i ludobójstwa, które coraz częściej są formułowane pod adresem Izraela. Poruszają temat migracji i reakcji na nią polskich elit politycznych. Temat, którym zajmują się w Raporcie Międzynarodowym są również pogarszające się relacje pomiędzy Rosją a Azerbejdżanem. Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz próbują odpowiedzieć na pytanie jakie znaczenie ma kreślenie nowych map sojuszy na południowym Kaukazie.

The U.S. and Japan agree to what President Trump calls ‘the largest trade deal in history'. Tariffs on most goods including autos have been reduced to 15 per cent, sending shares spiking among car manufacturers. Italian lender Unicredit hikes its guidance following an unexpected profit jump in Q2 just a day after it abandoned its bid for smaller domestic rival Banco BPM. CEO Andrea Orcel tells CNBC the takeover move had become ‘a drag'. SAP posts a 24 per cent cloud revenue beat but still misses expectations. CFO Dominik Asam says he remains confident thanks to a strong pipeline in H2.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Het was een dag vol tegenslagen. Minder bestellingen voor ASM International, een winstwaarschuwing bij CM.com en wéér een dalende omzet bij Randstad. Twee van die bedrijven verloren zelfs (bijna) een tiende van de beurswaarde.En dan vergeten we nog even SAP, het meest waardevolle beursbedrijf van Europa. Ook dat stelt teleur. Deze aflevering hebben we het over de resultaten van ASMI, CM.com en Randstad én kijken we waarom Europese beursbedrijven dit cijferseizoen zo teleurstellen. En of je misschien toch niet naar Amerika moet. Hoor je ook meer over de deal die president Trump sloot met Japan. De 'grootste handelsdeal ooit' noemt 'ie het. De Japanners gaan ruim 500 miljard dollar investeren én 15 procent importtarief betalen. Al is het volgens sommige echt een 'hele slechte deal'.Slecht gaat het niet bij KPN, de laatste tijd toch wel gezien als veilige haven in deze onzekere tijden. En toch wordt het niet beloond voor goede kwartaalcijfers. Hoe dat zit, vertellen we je deze uitzending. Hoor je ook waarom uitgerekend GoPro de verrassing van de beursdag is. Dat gaat tientallen procenten omhoog!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die Einigung im Handelsstreit mit Japan sorgt vor allem bei den Autowerten für eine weltweite Gegenbewegung. Die japanische Auto-Industrie wird ebenfalls den vereinbarten 15% Zollsatz zahlen. Einen Sektoren-Zoll gibt es nicht! Sehen wir gleiches bei den europäischen Autowerten, dürfte die Branche aufatmen. Die EU wird heute in Washington die Verhandlungen mit den USA fortsetzen. Außerdem soll am Montag in Stockholm ein Treffen zwischen Finanzminister Scott Bessent und den Vertretern Chinas stattfinden. Wir sehen bei selbst erfreulichen Ergebnissen teils Abgabedruck. Das betrifft unter andere, die Aktien von AT&T, Hilton, SAP und Texas Instruments. Zudem warten Marktteilnehmer auf die nach dem Closing anstehenden Ergebnisse von insbesondere Google und Tesla. So verhalten die Wall Street gestern war, haben wir unter Oberfläche eine bessere Marktbreite gesehen. 80% der Aktien im S&P 500 konnten zulegen. Es waren wenige Tech-Riesen, die den Nasdaq 100 und S&P 500 belastet haben. Nvidia und Broadcom waren für 83% des Rückgangs im Nasdaq verantwortlich.

S&P Futures are displaying some weakness this morning as market await a catalyst. Tariffs, Trade and Earnings remain hot topics for the markets. President Trum is scheduled to meet with the president of the Philippines today. Discussions are expected to focus on trade negotiation and security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region. Markets are caution on a potential U.S. EU trade agreement as the EU is said to be preparing a list of possible retaliatory measures. The lack of movement in the U.S. India trade agreement has markets questioning if a deal will actually occur. On the earnings front, CCK, KO, MEDP & NOC are higher after their releases. NXPIT is moving lower after their announcement last night as tech expectations are elevated. After the bell today, earnings releases are expected from CB, SAP & TI.

Highlights00:14 — Later today, we will hear from SAP about its Q2 financial results. So the cloud revenue for the past six quarters: 24%, 25%, 27%, 20%, 27%, 27%. I'm projecting 27% for Q2. It's even been stronger in its cloud backlog numbers: 27%, 28%, 29%, up to 32% in the giant Q4 numbers, 28% in Q1. I'm projecting the backlog will go up 29% for Q2.01:34 — Three months ago, after SAP released its Q1 numbers, CEO Christian Klein did an interview with Bloomberg TV, and he said something that I think surprised a lot of people: “There has been absolutely no pullback on U.S. spending.” Now, you might suspect that there would have been—with all this doom and gloom coming up about tariffs.02:44 — A couple of the big factors: SAP has shifted fully to AI. It's embedding it in all iits applications and solutions, in its Joule agent system. It's doing its launch of its Business Data Cloud, which fuels so much of what they're doing in AI for customers. And also, its very ambitious ecosystem and partnership strategy has been quite strong and continues to be that way.03:37 — We heard recently from Oracle CEO Safra Catz — she feels that Oracle's applications business is about to kick into higher growth, and she says that it will become the largest cloud applications provider. So, a challenge coming at SAP's leadership in that field from Oracle.04:10 — I've got an article coming up later today with more details on my outlook for SAP. And later this week, we'll be catching up on its numbers, along with those of IBM, ServiceNow, and others in the Cloud Wars Top 10. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Unser heutiger Gast begann seinen Weg alles andere als geradlinig: Mit 15 flog er von der Schule, ohne Abschluss, ohne Netzwerk, ohne Plan. Heute ist er Senior Director bei SAP, Bestseller-Autor, TEDx-erprobter Keynote-Speaker und Gastdozent an der EBS Universität. Dazwischen liegen Stationen bei Radio, bei Red Bull, in der Start-up-Szene und eine beispiellose Karriere, die vor allem eines zeigt: Wie kraftvoll der unkonventionelle Weg sein kann, wenn man sich traut, gegen den Strom zu schwimmen. Er gilt als kreativer Wegweiser für Wandel in Unternehmen, als Vordenker für Mindful Leadership und als inspirierende Stimme für eine Arbeitswelt mit mehr Menschlichkeit, Neugier und Mut zum Unperfekten. In seiner Rolle bei SAP entwickelt er nicht nur marktorientierte Innovationsnarrative, sondern begeistert mit Storytelling, das Tiefgang und Leichtigkeit verbindet, immer mit dem Ziel, komplexe Ideen verständlich und emotional zu machen. Sein Buch trägt den passenden Titel: „Alles, was du im Leben wissen musst, hast du schon im Kindergarten gelernt.“ Es ist eine Einladung, sich spielerische Leichtigkeit, kindliche Neugier und kreativen Mut zurückzuerobern, gerade jetzt, wo KI und Komplexität die Arbeitswelt umkrempeln. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In 500 Gesprächen mit über 600 Menschen haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat – und was sich noch ändern muss. Warum lohnt es sich, die kindlichen Fähigkeiten wie Neugier, Mut und Verspieltheit wieder freizulegen und wann haben wir sie eigentlich verloren? Was können Führungskräfte lernen, wenn sie wieder mehr fragen, spielen und zuhören, statt zu bewerten, kontrollieren und zu optimieren? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

After Michael gave in episode #23 an overview on sustainability and explained how SAP supports businesses to run in a more sustainable way, today's episode focuses on where we are standing with sustainability and concepts of circular economy in businesses and if all this is finally relevant for students and learners. And at the end of this episode, Michael of course shares some final words of wisdom with you.

Sarah Schmidt, Head of Corporate Strategy, Transformation & Portfolio bei SAP, gibt Einblicke in die Strategie eines der größten Softwareunternehmen der Welt – und erklärt, warum der Fokus auf Anwendung und Kundennutzen wichtiger ist als ein eigenes ChatGPT.

Are you running SAP? The clock is ticking... Standard maintenance end-of-life is set for the end of 2027. Migration to S/4HANA must be completed by then (or 2030 if you buy into SAP's special three-year reprieve). While that may appear to be enough time, companies currently working toward an S/4HANA transition are finding the journey challenging, and that's not including the security challenges.

B2B marketing has long been stuck with a somewhat boring reputation: rational, buttoned-up and forgettable. Tim Hoppin is on a mission to change that. As chief brand and creative officer at SAP, he's helping one of the world's largest software companies embrace big creative swings — and prove that business buyers are humans too. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio. Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:02):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing. And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.(00:09):You might be wondering, wait, what? Isn't this The Current Podcast? I'm here to listen to brand marketers talk about the highs and lows of their brand campaign. I know I am. Well, rest assured, we've just had a little bit of a brand refresh. We're now the big impression, andDamian Fowler (00:27):That's official shout out to our creative team for the new name, which I really love actually.Ilyse Liffreing (00:32):So without further ado, let's kick off this new season with a great guest.Damian Fowler (00:39):And today we are delighted to be joined by Tim Hoppin, the chief brand and creative officer at SAP.Ilyse Liffreing (00:45):Now, SAP makes software that helps big companies run everything from payroll to supply chains, all in one integrated system. It was recently hailed by brand Z as a 23rd most valuable brand on the planet.Damian Fowler (01:00):And no doubt, some of that's thanks to Tim. He's a brand builder who spearheaded the tech company's recent B2B campaign, unstoppable, which was shortlisted at this year's Cannes Lion, and that's where we sat down with him. So we're going to start out with this sort of philosophical frame. Ryan, you have said that a brand must influence everything a company makes, says and does. Could you explain that philosophy a little bit?Tim Hoppin (01:29):Yeah, sure. I think a lot of people even just kind of reduce it down to branding, like the colors and things like that and maybe the expression a little bit. But the way I think about a brand transmits meaning to people, and it does that through lots of different formats. So when I say what a brand is, what you make, you're actually affecting the service or the product that you're actually delivering to the world. So my classic example is Harley Davidson. Those motorcycles don't use plastic and they do that very specifically because they want the brand to be expressed a certain way in products. And then when I say a brand is what a company says, that's your marketing, your communication, and then what you do is your activations, your choices on what kind of companies you're going to invest in and so on and so forth. But it's all three.Ilyse Liffreing (02:25):Yeah. Can you walk us through your recent SAP campaign, which I believe is called Unstoppable?Tim Hoppin (02:31):The campaign was built to communicate a new way we're going to market with our products, which is bringing together all the different parts of the software that we make. We tie together, we call it the SAP Business suite, and we're dramatizing it with sort of metaphors that bring it to life. For instance, sometimes if you're in business and you're in charge of something, like being head of it could feel like you're literally underwater. So we recreated what literally happens when the entire office goes underwater. So we filmed the entire office submerged underwater, and people are trying to go about their business. And of course at the end we introduced our product, which kind of drains it and gets things back to normal. And another example, sometimes when you're trying to innovate, it's like an uphill battle. So you start off and the entire building tilts on its side and we kind of go in this metaphor world where the COO is trying to march up a hill and things are coming at her and she's trying to dodge it. So they're all metaphors that we can kind of associate, but they're also very real stories. Every one of 'em is based on an actual customer story.Ilyse Liffreing (03:47):Very fun. What would you say are the key consumer business insights behind this campaign?Tim Hoppin (03:54):Yes, because purely B2B, our research is a little bit, you have to be more precise in getting those insights. So a lot of it has to do with doing interviews because there's not like a survey you're going to send out to a bunch of CFOs or CEOs and they're going to respond. They're pretty busy people. But we can do other things like get some individual interviews. We do quant studies as well as well, but it's easier to get real insights when you actually talk to real people. So more like anthropology research, I'd say, than sort of traditional marketing broad surveys.Ilyse Liffreing (04:35):Some people might say that emotional storytelling and B2B business campaigns are almost like a oxymoron of sorts. Is that at a conundrum would you say,Tim Hoppin (04:51):How many times have you seen a piece of content that's using just stock imagery talking about functional stuff and you just ignore it? And so there's this perception that that's what everybody wants and does. We are seeing a renaissance in B2B where emotional, strong, insight-driven work is what works. And so I think you're going to see more and more of that as people realize that it actually is more effective.Damian Fowler (05:22):It's interesting to me that the B2B is being put out on what you might consider consuming channels. I'm just curious to hear your take on why that was important and basically how did you activate this campaign and where did you want to put it?Tim Hoppin (05:38):Yeah, so our media team and working with their agency took the brief that we're trying to do two things. We're trying to both lead people that are maybe in market ready to buy, lead them into our ecosystem and get in touch with our salespeople. But we also recognize that SAP as a 50 plus year old company has some perceptions out there and we need to constantly reeducate the marketplace about who we are, what we stand for, and then also present ourselves to the next generation. 71% of all B2B buyers are either millennials or Gen Z, 71%.Damian Fowler (06:20):Wow, that's a amount.Tim Hoppin (06:22):Yeah, it's a lot. So to become and stay relevant, even as the world's largest enterprise software company, you can't rest on your laurels. So some of those media tactics, like being in airports or some television buys in very targeted ways is designed to get broad enough reach so that we can get people familiar with us and start to understand what we stand for so that when they're ready to buy, they're not just hearing about us for the first time. And then of course we're looking at the real data, what's happening out there? Happy to say that all of our creative work has got five stars, or hybrid is the highest you can get the system one, we're beating every industry benchmark. And then in market, the performance that we're seeing in the market is also way above all of our benchmarks. So we're excited because as we like to say, if creative doesn't work, it's not working.Ilyse Liffreing (07:14):Was there an insight that you say you took away?Tim Hoppin (07:18):I had a strong hypothesis that there would be some disruption just from visually the way the campaign is presented, especially the films. I think the thing that's really surprised me as we did our research, what a chord. It's striking with people. There's one comment that came through just from the qual study that we did where people were saying, you finally get me. Not only is the content visually arresting, but emotionally resonant, people really feel seen. And to your comment earlier about like, Hey, B2B is seen as traditional and there's such a, I'd say a traditional and sort of safe approach to just use business people doing businessy things and boats and cars moving fast and satellites flying by the camera and putting a logo at theIlyse Liffreing (08:14):End. I've seen that one. Yeah.Tim Hoppin (08:15):Yeah, I've made that one unfortunately. But to really take this risk and tell interesting stories that are based on real human insights and have emotion and are disruptive and have the very people that we're trying to reach go, thank you, thank you for seeing us, telling us a story that's different. I have this saying, if you want to be disruptive, you actually have to disrupt. And so there's also sort of a hungered SAP, we have to reinvent ourselves. We are in our product and our go-to market. And so the brand platform that we created over the last three years, now this is the next level, is taking the campaign higher. So I think we're on this momentum of transformation, and so it just felt natural to do it. And the way we're investing the does part's also coming true, frankly, the way we're investing in AI and kind of transforming what's possible from a 50 plus year old company. It's exciting.Ilyse Liffreing (09:12):Let's talk a little bit about ai.Tim Hoppin (09:14):Yeah, sure.Ilyse Liffreing (09:15):On that note, how are you guys investing in AI and what do you foresee(09:16): Damian Fowler (09:23):Creation play? Yeah, as a creative person, do you feel threatened by it orTim Hoppin (09:26):Not at all.Damian Fowler (09:29):Jump on your question. That is the question.Tim Hoppin (09:31):Yeah, it's the question of the week. Big question. It's come up so much. Actually, I was talking about this the other day.Ilyse Liffreing (09:35):You're probably tired of people talking about it.Tim Hoppin (09:38):No, I actually think what's been really refreshing is two things, always the first part of your question, which is as a company, we are basically transforming into a data and AI company. I think pretty much anybody who's going to survive has to do that. So we've made software for 50 years, but what all the companies that run on our platforms, it's the data that's the most valuable part, of course. And so the AI that we've developed is allowing people to run their businesses completely different ways. So we're investing in that as a creative person.(10:14):We're also starting to experiment with ai, for instance, trying to understand how people might react to our messages. I don't think that AI is going to replace creatives, but I think creatives are going to have to change. So you're going to have to act more like a director than a executor. I remember when I started in the business a few years ago, 25 ish, I remember the people who were still laying down typography by hand and everything. Every piece of printed material was proofed. The proofs would come into the agency and people were looking at it. And so all those people's jobs changed. And that's all this is. Human creativity will not and cannot be replicated, but it will require us to get better at being creative and know how to use these new tools.Ilyse Liffreing (11:10):Yeah, that's a great answer. We've transformed so much in 25 years. It's kind of bafflingDamian Fowler (11:18):Completely. Yeah.Ilyse Liffreing (11:19):So you're an agency guy. It does seem that B2B is getting better. Is it because of all these agency folks moving in? How?Tim Hoppin (11:30):Yeah, I think so. We're seeing, look, the agency world has changed and is contracting in some ways and it's really tough, but also it's creating opportunities for those same creative talents to move. And so it becomes a, I'd say rebalancing. I remember early in my career if you worked in a in-house agency, it was sort of looked down on like you're just not good enough for a real creative job, which was totally mean and not nice. But that was the perception. And now it's completely not that Some of the best work that's being produced is coming from in-house agencies. So you're seeing a migration from, and frankly, it's caused by clients. So clients are reducing what they're willing to pay agencies, which puts economic pressure on the agencies and they have to downsize. And then those great talented people need to pay their mortgage and put their kids through college and they're coming in house. And so my team is almost exclusively on my creative group, our exag agency people. And that's what I am too. And so that actually makes us better clients so we can work with our agencies and we know how to work with them and who they are, and sometimes we even know them from past lives. So it just makes the work better all around.Ilyse Liffreing (12:52):Is there anything in the creative realm that you're looking at or data about creativity that you think brands should co-op for B2B campaigns?Tim Hoppin (13:05):Yeah, I absolutely, interestingly, as we've seen this sort of spike in the AI chatter and everybody talking about it and sort of wringing their hands about what it's going to do for our jobs, there's been sort of a pushback in a really healthy way where people are saying, actually no humanity and really putting AI in its place, which is, it's just another tool. Yes, it's going to disrupt jobs. That is a true statement 100%, but it's not going to replace human creativity. And so as I said before, that reality is getting people back to what's important, which is storytelling, human storytelling, creativity, finding those interesting combinations that only humans can do. And that's where you're starting to see that come to life in B2B marketing is that, I said it earlier, I think it's a bit of a renaissance and a not cheesy way.Ilyse Liffreing (14:05):We have some last minute Rapid, rapid and fire, fire.Tim Hoppin (14:08):And this is your homeDamian Fowler (14:08):Stretch. Oh yeah, stretch. Stretch. Is there anything, Tim, that you're obsessed with figuring out right now?Tim Hoppin (14:17):Yeah, how to keep getting better. It's like I love seeing what people can do and I want to use new tools and new solutions. And so I'm trying to figure out where's all this AI stuff going to go and where's it going to be helpful? And how do you avoid the pit of generic communications that is a real threat from ai?Ilyse Liffreing (14:44):Did you have a favorite Cannes moment that made you stop and say, wow?Tim Hoppin (14:49):Yeah, I was in line for a session and there was a group of young lions, and this one kid, he had to be maybe 18, maybe 19, he still has his braces on, and he was so excited, so excited to be there and to go in. And I've been really worried that our industry doesn't have the next generation coming up. And I saw this kid and I was just so relieved that this kid was as excited about the start of his career as I was when I started. I mean, I would fall asleep with award animals to learn how to do this stuff better and that you could feel the energy from this kid. It was awesome.Damian Fowler (15:39):I'm so happy that a lot of students come to Cannes.Ilyse Liffreing (15:43):It is great. It fills your heart. Yeah, it does. It does.Damian Fowler (15:48):Last one.Ilyse Liffreing (15:49):So who beyond SAP, who else is doing B2B brand work very well in your view?Tim Hoppin (15:56):Well, GoDaddy won the Grand Prix for, I thought, a really fun piece of work, and it's targeted to small business, so I think you can be a little bit more courageous than sometimes we get to, but I just loved it for its wackiness and just audacious. And then also the way that they really just kind of carried across different mediums. The thing that was the best about it was they're trying to make the case for starting a small business, and they literally did that with a celebrity. It was brilliant.Ilyse Liffreing (16:41):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Damian Fowler (16:44):This show is produced by Molten Hart. Our theme is by Love and caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns.Tim Hoppin (16:50):And remember, 71% of all B2B buyers are either millennials or Gen Z.Damian Fowler (16:57):I'm Damian. And I'm Ilyse,Tim Hoppin (16:59):And we'll see you next time.

Callan, also known as “Sap” is the Co-Founder of Threshold Labs, the managing team behind Threshold Network's tBTC, a trust-minimized bridge enabling native Bitcoin in DeFi. Why you should listen Threshold Network is a decentralized infrastructure protocol that leverages threshold cryptography to provide privacy and access control services on public blockchains. It was formed through the merger of two projects, Keep and NuCypher, with the aim of enabling secure and decentralized custody and data privacy. One of its core offerings is tBTC, a decentralized bridge that allows users to bring their Bitcoin onto Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks in the form of an ERC-20 token that is fully backed 1:1 by BTC. tBTC is designed to address the limitations of custodial wrapped Bitcoin products, such as WBTC, which rely on centralized entities to hold users' BTC. Instead, tBTC uses a network of randomly selected node operators that collectively manage custody through threshold signature schemes. This structure ensures that no single party can access or move the underlying BTC, enhancing security and decentralization. The latest version, tBTC v2, introduces a scalable and permissionless model, progressively shifting control from human intermediaries to protocol-based guarantees. Bitcoin DeFi—or BTCFi—is an emerging segment of decentralized finance that aims to bring Bitcoin's liquidity into smart contract ecosystems. Historically, Bitcoin has been underutilized in DeFi due to its limited scripting capabilities and incompatibility with platforms like Ethereum. Bridges like tBTC are key to unlocking Bitcoin's potential in DeFi, enabling BTC holders to participate in lending, yield farming, liquidity provision, and collateralized borrowing—all while retaining exposure to Bitcoin. By offering a decentralized, trust-minimized bridge, Threshold Network positions itself as a foundational layer in this growing ecosystem.

NEURA Robotics is transforming the robotics industry by building cognitive robots powered by physical AI. With €120 million raised and 5,000-10,000 robots already deployed, the company has set an ambitious goal of deploying 5 million robots by 2030. In this episode, I sat down with David Reger, CEO and Founder of NEURA Robotics, to explore how his company is solving the reliability and adoption challenges that have kept robotics a niche market, and his vision for making robots as ubiquitous as smartphones.   Topics Discussed: NEURA's partnership-driven go-to-market strategy using horizontal and vertical partners The company's unique physical AI model built specifically for embodied intelligence Current deployment of household robots starting with elderly care applications The challenge of raising hardware funding in Europe versus Japan and China Building cognitive robots that can operate with limited compute and bandwidth Creating a platform ecosystem where partners can download skills and applications The regulatory and cultural barriers to robot adoption in different markets NEURA's recent partnership with SAP and strategy to become Europe's next €100 billion company GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Leverage established channels for reliability-critical products: David built NEURA's entire go-to-market strategy around partnering with established robot companies rather than direct sales. He recognized that for reliability-critical hardware like robots, startups face an inherent trust deficit. "If you're talking about robots, there's all about reliability, it's all about trust because it has to run 24/7... And if you're looking into strength of a startup, that's exactly the point. Like this is something you don't have." B2B founders in hardware or mission-critical software should consider white-label partnerships with established players who already have the service infrastructure and customer trust. Build horizontal and vertical partnership ecosystems simultaneously: NEURA created a dual partnership model - horizontal partners (robot manufacturers) for broad distribution and vertical partners (domain specialists like welding or household task companies) for specialized applications. This creates a platform effect where "our partners don't have to have the knowledge, but they can simply download, let's say an app or a skill and they can use the robot like in all kinds of different domains." B2B founders should consider how to enable both broad distribution and deep specialization through complementary partnership types. Target markets where regulatory shifts create urgency: David identified that China's 2030 goal of transforming 5% of working labor to robotics (40 million robots) would force global competition. "The whole world has to, let's say, also wake up in the same time... because if we don't want to end up, let's say as a museum, we have to also contribute." B2B founders should identify geopolitical or regulatory shifts that create market urgency and position their solutions as necessary responses to competitive pressure. Raise capital in markets that understand your technology: When European and US investors were skeptical of hardware, David found receptive investors in Japan who "believe in robots" and understood the market potential. He eventually had to pivot to China for speed, then later successfully raised €120 million in Europe when the market shifted. B2B founders should be willing to pursue capital in non-obvious geographies where their technology vision is better understood, even if it requires navigating different business cultures. Focus on physical AI differentiation for embodied products: David emphasized that NEURA's competitive advantage lies in their physical AI model: "I do believe that like our AI model is one of the, let's say it's the best in the world in that space, because simply it's much more efficient and actually built for being physical, while the most other models are not." B2B founders building AI-powered hardware should invest in AI models specifically designed for their physical constraints rather than adapting general-purpose models.     //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.
