Tushar has written a book ‘Modernizing SAP with AWS', published by Springer Nature, which takes the reader on an SAP Modernization journey through the lens of ‘Nimbus Airlines', a fictional company running SAP. Join us for an engaging conversation around SAP Modernization, Tushar's motivation in writing the book and some key learnings for customers looking to embark on their own SAP modernization program. https://a.co/d/9auwYxf

Humans need connection—not as a luxury, but as a foundation for thriving. Yet, in our hyper-connected world, loneliness persists. On this episode of On the Brink, I sat down with Todd Nilson, a community strategist with 25 years of experience in digital transformation and marketing for brands like Activision, Facebook, and SAP, to unpack what real community means and how to build it with intention. Who is Todd Nilson? Todd's journey began in journalism, driven by an authentic curiosity about people and their stories. That passion evolved into a commitment to "building a bigger family"—creating spaces where trust and belonging are central. He's clear: community isn't a "soft" strategy; it's essential for individual and organizational wellbeing. We explored the difference between networks and communities. Social platforms may connect thousands, but true communities are intimate, purposeful, and safe. As Todd put it, a network is like a busy freeway—you can make friends, but it's not where you belong. Real communities are built in "cozy warrens": discussion forums, private groups, and member spaces that foster trust and meaningful exchange. The technology for online communities is abundant, but Todd warns: tools alone don't build belonging. Trust is foundational. He outlined three layers of safety—trustworthy platforms, credible conveners, and benevolent members—enabling honest sharing and engagement. He shared the example of Truth Initiative, whose online community helps people quit smoking and vaping. There, anonymity and trust turn participation into a true "return on life." Watch Todd Nilson on Youtube Understanding Community in a Time of AI Organizations and associations often struggle to sustain engagement beyond annual events. Todd believes communities should keep people connected to their mission year-round, deepen commitment, and serve as pipelines for volunteers or future staff. However, he cautions against focusing solely on technology while neglecting the ongoing stewardship that makes communities thrive. People—not platforms—build lasting connections. Community success is a program, not a project. You can't just launch a platform and expect results. Todd stresses the importance of having a dedicated human facilitator—more concierge than manager—who welcomes, connects, and guides members. While AI can help with moderation, it can't replace human warmth or judgment. We also discussed the importance of strategic clarity: before asking for proof of ROI, organizations must define their community's purpose. What are the desired outcomes—reduced costs, improved retention, innovation? Community design must align with both organizational goals and member needs, even when those priorities differ. Hybrid models work best. Online and offline communities reinforce each other, extending the sense of belonging and engagement. Tools like the Sense of Community Index 2 can help organizations measure how well their community fosters connection and contribution. Culturally, we're faced with an "always open buffet" of groups, but meaningful community requires intentional participation, not just passive consumption. We must choose where to invest our attention, seeking out spaces that truly feed us personally and professionally. Big Ideas for Fast-Changing Times Todd left us with two takeaways: First, plan for purpose—define who your community is for, why it exists, and the unique value it offers. Second, embrace emergent design—start small, let the community evolve, and focus on trust and gradual growth rather than a massive launch. Ultimately, community is a driver of wellbeing—crucial not only at work but also in life's transitions, such as retirement. Whether you're building community for your organization or your next chapter, remember: networks aren't belonging, and community doesn't happen by accident. Purpose, trust, and stewardship make it real. Thanks for tuning in, and thank you to Todd Nelson for sharing such valuable insights. Want to keep the conversation going?

In the final episode of “Mastering the Hidden Margin", a special series on Build Better Work, our cast reveals where margin is truly lost—after the SPA agreement is signed. Join Tony Pericle,  Kara DeGraff, Scott Sinning, and Rick Wells as they break down how broken data flows, manual reconciliation, and missed renewals quietly drain 1–3% of SPA revenue every year. The conversation explores the full SPA lifecycle: digitizing supplier data, normalizing inconsistent formats, managing claim reconciliation, and enforcing renewal discipline. The panel shares side-by-side distributor and manufacturer perspectives, along with war stories from decades in pricing and contract administration. Practical guidance is offered on standardized templates, tolerance-based reconciliation, aging reports, centralized renewals, and preventing pricing chaos when SPAs expire unexpectedly.Time Stamps:0:00 - Intro2:54 - SPA Life Cycle4:01 - Consolidating and Internalize Data9:00 - Claims and Disputes11:27 - Reconciliation of Claims13:28 - Renewing Contracts19:19 - Leveraging “White Space”22:05 - The Hidden Margin24:22 - New Customers/ New SPAs29:02 - AI in Distribution30:41 - 3 Most Important Features for Distributors to Know31:52 - How to Prevent Leakage33:02 - Most Important Characteristics for SPA Leadership36:49 - ClosingGuests:Tony | tony@profitoptics.com: Tony Pericle is the founder of ProfitOptics and one of the most innovative minds in the distribution industry.

Most business owners are sitting here in early January without any real plan for 2026 because they're still trying to close out 2025. Steve makes the case for one single measurable outcome that determines a successful year while Brad pushes back with the reality of "we just want more" thinking. Using gross margin improvement as an example, we walk through how to get every department aligned on the same goal, why supplier accountability is an untapped opportunity, and how to turn objectives into 12-week strategies. We also tackle why leadership is hard when you actually have to make decisions, how the Hoshin planning system creates 81 squares of complexity nobody needs, and why squirrels with shiny objects will always try to derail your focus unless pet projects directly support your singular goal.Highlights:Why "we just want more" or "we want better" fails without defining what that actually means in measurable terms.The trust but verify approach to supplier invoices especially around tariff line items that might have been passed through five times.How employees come back with excuses about SAP tickets and IT problems when you give them nine goals instead of one clear focus.The danger of operating in a one-year vacuum where beneficial three-year projects get killed because they hurt this year's numbers.Why amazing things happen when you make actual decisions instead of living in "I'll think about it" mode that keeps everyone guessing.Subscribe to Blue Collar BS for more real conversations about running and growing your business.

In this first episode of Mastering the Hidden Margin, a special series on Build Better Work, host Tony Pericle pulls back the curtain on SPAs—special pricing authorizations and agreements, also known as deviations, chargebacks, ship-and-debit, and invoice verification. He's joined by industry veterans Scott Sinning and Cara DeGraff, who bring decades of experience across electrical distribution, medical supply, high tech, and enterprise rebate/pricing solutions. Together, they trace how SPA programs emerged from messy manual workarounds into one of the most important—and misunderstood—margin levers in distribution.Tony, Scott, and Cara also share their experience to describe what “good” SPA management actually looks like. They explore how digitization, data synchronization, and better analytics can reduce leakage, shrink reconciliation backlogs, and free sales teams from spreadsheet purgatory. If you're responsible for pricing, margin, or channel strategy in a distributor or manufacturer, this episode will give you the language, stories, and mental models you need to start mastering your hidden margin.Time Stamps:0:00 - Intro2:25 - Guests and SPA Highlights10:49 - Problems SPAs Solve16:24 - What is Invoice Verification17:05 - SPAs = Competitive Advantage18:33 - Magnitude of SPAs20:30 - SPAs as a Manufacturer24:31 - Bring Data to the Conversation26:21 - Charge Backs and Price Masking29:23 - Synchronized Data35:50 - ClosingGuests:Tony | tony@profitoptics.com: Tony Pericle is the founder of ProfitOptics and one of the most innovative minds in the distribution industry.

Returning to our conversation, “Mastering the Hidden Margin", a special series on Build Better Work, our panel dives into the heartbeat of SPA success: negotiation. Moving beyond history and systems, this episode focuses on how distributors should ask for SPAs—credibly, proactively, and with data that builds trust instead of friction. Joining us again is Tony Pericle, Scott Sinning and Kara DeGraff, in a conversation that outlines why SPAs are not about discounts, but about positioning distributors as true partners to manufacturers.The group breaks down what separates a strong SPA request from a weak one: clarity on customer and product, realistic volume commitments, competitive context, and a plan that can be tracked and validated over time. They explore who should own SPA negotiations at different levels of the organization, how sales teams should be coached, and why accountability and follow-through matter as much as the initial cost ask.Time Stamps:0:00 - Intro2:36 - Good vs Bad SPA Request4:19 - Relationships and Information6:06 - Information Distribution for SPA Success12:58 - What to Ask for & What to Ask for14:53 - How to Position Yourself to Ask for a SPA16:54 - What Does a “Legit” SPA Deal Look Like?20:22 - Get the Most in SPA Negotiation23:48 - ClosingGuests:Tony | tony@profitoptics.com: Tony Pericle is the founder of ProfitOptics and one of the most innovative minds in the distribution industry.

Bob Evans, Founder of Cloud Wars, joins John Siefert, CEO, Cloud Wars and Dynamic Communities, to unpack one of the most dramatic reshuffles in the history of the Cloud Wars Top 10. Together, they explore what Bob calls “tectonic shifts” as Google Cloud rises to number one, Oracle surges to number two, and Microsoft slips to third. The conversation goes well beyond rankings, diving into AI platforms, enterprise outcomes, customer-driven innovation, and why growth, not size alone, defines cloud leadership heading into 2026.A New Cloud OrderThe Big Themes:Growth Transparency Matters: IBM's exit from the Top 10 underscores a critical principle — financial transparency is essential when growth is a core ranking metric. While IBM's leadership and strategy is worthy of praise, the lack of disclosed cloud performance data makes objective evaluation impossible. The Cloud Wars Top 10 prioritizes measurable momentum that reflects customer demand.AWS Reflects the Past, Not the Future: AWS's drop to number seven does not reflect failure but rather strategic timing. While AWS continues to perform well financially, its narrative is more aligned with the cloud's past than its AI-driven future. In contrast, competitors are redefining platforms around agents, inference, and AI-native architectures. The Cloud Wars rankings reward forward momentum, and AWS now faces pressure to reassert innovation leadership rather than rely on historical dominance.The AI Platform Battle Is Escalating: A central theme is the race to become the trusted AI platform. ServiceNow and Palantir are the most explicit contenders, while Google Cloud closely follows. Customers want AI platforms that integrate existing systems, deliver fast outcomes, and scale securely. The winners will be those who enable co-creation, not just consumption, as enterprises build AI capabilities tailored to their specific needs.The Big Quote: "For a while we talked about the hyperscalers as if they're all very homogeneous, all exactly the same, just different variations on a theme. I think what the new Cloud Wars Top 10 reflects is that is not the case at all."More about the Top 10 Shifts:Check out the updated Cloud Wars Top 10 List. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore the massive reshuffle in the Cloud Wars Top 10 driven by the rise of AI-first strategies. Later this morning, I'll expand upon these themes in a second fireside chat with my CEO, John Siefert, specifically focusing on numbers four through ten on the list.Highlights00:03 — We've got more big changes going on in the Cloud Wars Top 10. SAP moves up to number four. Palantir rockets from number 10 to number five. AWS tumbles from number four to number seven, and OpenAI makes its debut on the Cloud Wars Top 10 at number 10.00:37 — So, SAP's got 25% consistent growth for the past couple of years. Clearly, customers are voting for SAP as they move aggressively into agents. Palantir is intensely disruptive, but not just in technology and not just to be different. It feels that today's move — the evolution from this into the AI economy — requires new types of technology.01:46 — In Q3, the last quarter for which Palantir has reported numbers, revenue grew at a remarkable 63% to almost 1.2 billion during that Q3. The number of salespeople that Palantir has actually went down. So, it's finding new ways to engage with customers. AWS started off as number one. It's still a great company, but “great company” is no longer good enough.02:45 — They are not, though, being the leaders — the agenda setters. That has slipped over to Google Cloud; Oracle has taken that away. So, they are the big leaders here, as AWS goes from number four to number seven. OpenAI makes its debut in the Cloud Wars Top 10, as they have now much more than the ChatGPT phenomenon from three years and three months ago.03:49 — Got lots of people now, and certainly Palantir, saying, “Hey, we're an AI platform company as well.” The whole premise for the last nine years of the Cloud Wars Top 10 is tech vendors are now able make their own internal operations, product development, how they engage, who they partner with, how they go to market, tied very tightly to the directions that customers want to go.04:19 — In the old days, the tech vendor sat back, said, “I'm going to make my server 2% faster and 3% less expensive than theirs,” and expected, you know, the world to beat a path to their door. No longer the case. Now, it's the tech companies that have to respond incredibly fast and incredibly decisively and effectively to the new directions that customers are heading in.

Wondering what SIs care about and how they approach implementing ISVs for the first (or hundredth) time? This episode if for you!In the latest episode of How We Got There, I speak with Steve Simpson, VP of Global Enablement & Learning at Copado, Co-Founder of Catcusforce and Certified Architect Instructor.

Go to the websites to learn more and find the prospectus.The customer, Salesforce AEs/SEs/RVPs, SIs can all be involved in a deal. Steve explains the personas in a deal and how it can/should change based on how you came to the deal. Did Salesforce or an SI bring you to the deal? Then they are the dominant person in the deal and you need to adjust your posture but one thing is a common through line is to make sure you continue to do right by the customer “with honesty and delivery”. Obviously you can ignore all of this complexity, but it introduces risk in your deals!Steve has wonderful detailed suggestions on how you position your experience in a specific scenario, even if you don't have any, that he borrows from a friend who trains physicians.

With AI poised to generate nearly infinite content, personalization, and experiences, is the single most important thing marketers should be focused on actually something that can't be automated at all? Agility requires not just adopting new technologies, but knowing when and how to double down on timeless human principles. It's about integrating the power of AI without losing the soul of the brand. Today, we're going to talk about the unexpected paradox of the AI revolution. As artificial intelligence becomes more capable of creating, personalizing, and automating customer interactions at scale, the most critical differentiator for a business isn't a better algorithm, but a stronger, more trusted brand. We'll explore why brand is becoming the essential human edge in an increasingly automated world, and how leaders can harness AI not to replace their brand, but to amplify it.

Send us a textAI commercialization and regulatory scrutiny are reshaping the market. Product announcements from SAP, Unit4, Deltek, Sage Intacct, and NetSuite highlight continued investment in cloud distribution, verticalized functionality, and embedded AI—often via hyperscaler marketplaces and agent frameworks—while transactions such as SYSPRO acquiring riteSOFT and Advantive acquiring PINPoint reinforce the ongoing push toward capability-led M&A in manufacturing and asset-centric environments. Partnerships like Pipefy with Oracle reflect the race to operationalize generative AI beyond experimentation, while the antitrust ruling involving SAP and the shareholder investigation into Lamb Weston Holdings serve as a reminder that legal, regulatory, and governance forces remain an active counterweight to rapid innovation.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds, including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendor. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNRK47Sjt-UQuestions for Panelists?

Morgan Housel es un columnista financiero y autor que analiza el comportamiento humano en cuestiones de economía y finanzas (ahorro e inversión). A ello ha dedicado sus dos bestsellers anteriores: La psicología del dinero y Lo que nunca cambia: 23 lecciones atemporales para nuestra vida personal y financiera. Su obra más reciente, El arte de gastar dinero, argumenta que el mayor retorno de una inversión es la tranquilidad, no la riqueza monetaria. Housel desafía la noción de gastar por estatus o imagen e invita a la introspección, utilizando el dinero como una herramienta para alcanzar la verdadera felicidad. Su obra se centra en desmantelar las trampas psicológicas—como la envidia y la inseguridad—que dictan nuestras decisiones y en redefinir la gestión financiera a través del autoconocimiento. A lo largo de esta sesión conversaremos con Marcos Álvarez y Domingo Soriano acerca de las ideas principales de El arte de gastar dinero, el nuevo libro de Morgan Housel. Domingo Soriano es uno de los periodistas de información económica más conocidos de España. Es licenciado en Derecho y ADE por la Universidad Carlos III de Madrid y número uno de su promoción del máster de periodismo de la Universidad San Pablo-CEU y El Mundo-Unidad Editorial. Presentador de programas tan populares como La pizarra de Domingo Soriano, Tu dinero nunca duerme y el «podcast» Economía para quedarte sin amigos, Domingo lleva más de una década escribiendo sobre economía en Libertad Digital, analizando medidas de política económica en esRadio y en tertulias de televisión, y enseñando economía a estudiantes de la Universidad Francisco Marroquín. Marcos Álvarez es responsable de comunicación de Más Dividendos y responsable de relación con inversores de Adarve Gestión de Activos. Estudió Ingeniería Técnica Industrial por la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid y es consultor SAP e inversor autodidacta. Lleva más de 15 años practicando y defendiendo la inversión racional a largo plazo, las finanzas, y las relaciones de confianza. Marcos es colaborador habitual en programas de divulgación financiera en radio, en prensa y en foros de inversión.

Send us a textA mix of product launches, acquisitions, funding rounds, and legal developments illustrates how enterprise software vendors are simultaneously accelerating innovation while navigating increasing market and regulatory complexity. Salesforce's updates to Marketing Cloud Next and Agentforce 3, alongside new capabilities from Cordial and SAP, point to a continued push toward AI-driven engagement, automation, and cloud-native commerce experiences. Strategic acquisitions by Accenture and SYSPRO reinforce the importance of deep industry and manufacturing expertise embedded within digital transformation platforms, while Unit4's ERPx release on Azure and Campfire's Series A funding highlight momentum behind modern, AI-first ERP architectures. At the same time, antitrust scrutiny involving SAP and investor investigations such as the Lamb Weston case underscore the growing governance, compliance, and risk considerations shaping the enterprise technology landscape. Collectively, these developments reflect a market evolving on multiple fronts—technological, structural, and regulatory—at the same time.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.

David Den Boer traces the origins of the EPM Summit to a pattern he kept seeing across projects. “Sometimes the error is not necessarily beginning in the project,” he tells us, “but in the way they selected the product.” Too often, he observed, finance teams were locked into technology decisions before fully understanding their requirements—or their alternatives.That realization reshaped how he thought about impact. While Den Boer says he enjoys solving customer problems through implementations, he began to focus on “slower, moving bigger problems,” including gaps in thought leadership and how organizations evaluate EPM solutions in the first place. The Summit, he tells us, was designed to address that upstream decision-making moment.He draws on experience hosting EPM-focused events beginning in 2009, after SAP acquired OutlookSoft. At large vendor conferences with “hundreds of products,” he explains, it was difficult for EPM practitioners to get focused answers, connect with peers, or evaluate options objectively. As legacy platforms declined, customers increasingly asked him where to go next—and how to choose wisely.That question has only intensified with AI. Den Boer tells us finance teams are now being asked to rethink processes “from a first principles perspective.” Without that reset, he warns, organizations risk “just bolting on AI” to workflows that haven't fundamentally changed in decades.The EPM Summit reflects that conviction. Den Boer says he personally curates content to avoid “glossy marketing stuff,” relying instead on practitioners who have delivered dozens—or hundreds—of projects. Panels, hands-on product access, and difficult vendor questions are all designed to give finance leaders what they rarely get: clarity before commitment. In an era of expanding choice, the Summit is built around a simple idea—better decisions start earlier.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. As we approach the end of the year, I'm pausing to look back and celebrate all of the wonderful guests that I had the honor of speaking to on the show. And based on your feedback, many of these guests resonated with you as well so we're giving you another chance to revisit the stories, insights, and lessons you loved most in 2025!   This week, I'm excited to highlight an episode with Steve Lucas.   Steve is a seasoned executive with nearly 30 years of experience in enterprise software leadership. As the CEO of Boomi, he spearheads efforts to connect the world through a transformative technology platform. Previously, he was the CEO of Marketo and iCIMS. At Marketo, he transformed the company's sales, marketing, and product strategies, culminating in its 2018 acquisition by Adobe. At iCIMS, he introduced the Talent Cloud, enabling 40% of the Fortune 100 to hire millions of employees annually. Earlier roles included senior executive positions at Adobe, SAP, Salesforce, and BusinessObjects.      THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…business leaders navigating digital transformation, especially those eager to understand how AI will reshape organizations.  TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…it's easy to get swept up in the hype around AI, but what does transformation actually look like in practice? Steve explores the dramatic shift AI is bringing to enterprise software, from the rise of AI agents to the decline of traditional user interfaces. He shares how businesses can prepare for an agentic future where success will depend on collaboration between humans and AI.  KEY TAKEAWAYS:  - Human resistance to change is often about trust and not capability  - AI won't replace humans but augment them (if we allow it)  - Leaders should focus less on tools and more on the business outcomes they unlock    WHAT I LOVE MOST… Steve's reminder that in a world full of hype and disruption, trust is still the currency that matters most. No matter how powerful AI becomes, if people don't trust it—or the companies using it—it won't deliver value.    Running Time: 28:44      Subscribe on iTunes       Find Tiffani Online:  LinkedIn  Facebook  X      Find Steve Online:  LinkedIn    Steve's Book:  Digital Impact: The Human Element of AI-Driven Transformation 

He leads a US tech firm valued at $8bn, but Sanjay Poonen puts his success down to a major career setback. Poonen is CEO of US cybersecurity and AI company Cohesity, based in Silicon Valley. He grew up in Bangalore, India, but a scholarship to Dartmouth College in the US to study computer science brought him to the US. On graduation, he rose up the ranks of a Who's Who of Silicon Valley tech companies, including Microsoft, Apple, Symantec, SAP and VMware. It was while he was vice president of marketing at Informatica that he suffered his first major career setback – he was fired. Poonen explains to Dougal Shaw why this moment of rejection ultimately made him a better, more mature and compassionate leader. He also gives advice on how to hire the best talent in the competitive world of tech. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wann hast du das letzte Mal einfach aus Neugier gehandelt, ohne Ziel, ohne Plan, einfach aus der Freude heraus? In dieser Folge der Flowgrade Show spreche ich mit Christian Wehner darüber, warum wir in einer Welt voller To-do-Listen und KPI-getriebener Selbstoptimierung oft genau das vergessen, was uns als Kind selbstverständlich war: spielen, scheitern, lernen und wieder aufstehen.Christian ist Autor des inspirierenden Buchs „Alles, was du im Leben wissen musst, hast du schon im Kindergarten gelernt“. Seine Mission: Menschen helfen, wieder mit ihrer kreativen Intuition in Kontakt zu kommen, jenseits von Perfektionismus, Erwartungsdruck und Selbstoptimierungswahn.Wir sprechen über echte Selbstverbindung, über bewusste Unplanbarkeit als kreative Superkraft und darüber, wie wir mit mehr Leichtigkeit, Spielfreude und radikaler Ehrlichkeit unser Leben neu gestalten können.Wenn du gerade auf der Suche nach mehr Tiefe, Klarheit und Menschlichkeit bist (in einer zunehmend künstlichen Welt) dann ist diese Folge wie für dich gemacht.Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!Go for Flow

In a world obsessed with speed, optimization, certainty, and AI-driven answers, this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times offers a necessary pause. Chris Schembra sits down with Eric Stine, CEO of Sitecore, for a deeply human conversation about leadership, belonging, gratitude, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. This is not a tactical episode about growth metrics or technology stacks—it's an exploration of what it means to lead, live, and connect in a time when instinct is being outsourced and humanity is at risk of being optimized away.Eric reflects on a 25-year career across some of the world's most influential enterprise technology companies, but reframes success through a different lens. Rather than crediting restraint or perfection, he points to saying yes as the defining strategy of his life, yes to unfamiliar roles, yes to reinvention, yes to creativity, fatherhood, philanthropy, and Broadway. Along the way, he opens up about imposter syndrome, those quiet moments of doubt that surface even at the highest levels of leadership, and why authenticity—not certainty—is what ultimately creates trust and psychological safety for teams.The conversation reaches back to Eric's eighth-grade years, when he felt like an outsider searching for his people. Theater became the place where he learned that difference wasn't something to hide, but something to bring forward, a lesson that continues to shape how he builds culture today. That theme of belonging becomes especially resonant in today's age of fragmentation and loneliness, where many people feel disconnected not because they lack opportunity, but because they lack spaces where they can show up fully as themselves.Midway through the episode, Eric answers the signature gratitude question, offering heartfelt thanks to his father, Mark, whose belief in living authentically influenced everything from Eric's leadership philosophy to a Tony Award win on Father's Day. The moment grounds the conversation in gratitude, not as sentiment, but as a force that shapes identity, values, and legacy across generations.This episode is especially important now because it confronts a growing cultural tension: while AI can deliver answers at unprecedented speed, it cannot deliver wisdom, belonging, or meaning. Eric draws a clear distinction between systems of record and systems of engagement, arguing that the future belongs to leaders and organizations that pair data with instinct, scale with empathy, and efficiency with humanity. In an era where people are burning out not just from work, but from hiding who they are, this conversation offers a different model, one rooted in community, peer-driven recognition, and shared accountability rather than control.Ultimately, The Power of Saying Yes is a reminder that culture cannot be engineered from the top down and growth cannot be achieved through optimization alone. Culture comes from community. Belonging comes from permission. And the most meaningful paths in life are rarely the safest ones. This episode invites listeners to slow down, embrace impermanence, and choose the more interesting path, not because it's easy, but because it's human.10 Key TakeawaysSaying yes creates momentum.Progress, growth, and meaning often come from leaning in before you feel ready—not from waiting for certainty. Authenticity is a leadership advantage, not a liability.When leaders model vulnerability, they unlock psychological safety and better performance across teams. Imposter syndrome doesn't disappear—it becomes a compass.Doubt is often a signal that you're stretching into something meaningful. Finding “your people” changes everything.Belonging fuels confidence, creativity, and resilience—whether in theater, business, or family. Gratitude is a strategic tool, not a soft one.Recognizing people for their impact on others builds trust, loyalty, and culture at scale. Culture cannot be built top-down.Leaders can only create the conditions; community does the building. AI needs humans in the loop.Data delivers insight, but instinct and empathy deliver relevance. Impermanence creates meaning.Moments matter more when we know they won't last—whether on stage, at work, or around the dinner table. Accountability is empowering when framed as ownership.We don't work in isolation—we work in ecosystems where shared responsibility drives excellence. The best life is an AND life, not an OR life.Passion and profit. Speed and care. Technology and humanity. Both can be true.Eric Stine BioEric Stine is the Chief Executive Officer of Sitecore, driving the company's vision and strategy to unlock business value for clients by empowering them to create compelling digital experiences. Eric was previously Chief Operating Officer, where he led all customer-facing functions.Before Sitecore, Eric was Chief Executive Officer of Elemica. Previously, he was Chief Commercial Officer of Skillsoft and Chief Revenue Officer of Qualtrics.

Closed On Mondays Podcast Season 4:Welcome to Season 4 of Closed On Mondays!Episode 11: Quick TriPIn this episode of Closed on Mondays, I take you on a Quick TriP through the last year—recapping my SAP project journey, the lessons learned, and the growth that came with staying committed to my career. I also open up about stepping back from trading to focus fully on professional development, why that pause was necessary, and what it taught me about patience and timing. Now, with clarity and balance, I'm back active in trading—approaching it with a sharper mindset, refined strategy, and a stronger foundation. This episode is about seasons, focus, and knowing when to pivot so you can move forward with purpose.TRUST THE PROCESSRaw Content Go Check Out the Merch!!!!https://linktr.ee/monskeltonIf you liked the video, hit like and subscribe for more!Thanks for watching!Hosted by: Mon Skelton★☆★ SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON YOUTUBE: ★☆★★☆★ Mon Skelton Online ★☆★Hosted by: Mon Skelton★ FB Profile: https://www.facebook.com/mon.skelton★ https://www.tiktok.com/@monskelton★ Twitter: https://twitter.com/monskelton★ Instagram: http://instagram.com/monskelton★ TIKTOK:  https://www.tiktok.com/@monskelton/★ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@monskelton?si=5WG7AjDi1o-crcCd

Agentforce is everywhere and everything but in speaking to many ISVs, they are still wondering when is the right time to lean into AI with more than just a story. Where in the hype cycle are we is something I wonder about a lot. So I set out to find an ISV that is actually succeeding in the Agentforce world and that journey led me to Igor Stosic, CEO of Quadrix Soft who make Goat Email on the AppExchange, as my next guest on How We Got There. They are actually selling the first Agentforce use cases for customers, which has to be making AEs covering those accounts VERY happy. Igor is based out of Serbia so we touch on the geographical benefits and challenges around being an ISV out of Europe. They've found a lot of success driving leads from the AppExchange from a gtm perspective. We touch on what has been working and mistakes made along the way, sharing transparent feedback about how to build an app that goes wide so you can know what works for customers and lean into those items.But then we dove into the main topic of Agentforce. We touched on various concepts like how they came up with the Agentforce use case, how they monetize the Agentforce element, and much more. A specific example a use case where they use Agentforce is variability of tone based on the location of the customer that you are interacting with - sending an email to someone in the US looks different from sending an email to someone in Germany.If you are curious about Agentforce, this episode is for you. This episode is brought to you by Tequity Advisors .

Have you ever given thought to the possibility that the suppliers of your core business technology, brands like Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP, might simply turn you off with no warning? It sounds fanciful, absurd, a black swan event so far beyond any reasonable risk matrix as to be unworthy of consideration. Yet it happened this year, 2025, to a major oil company in the world's most populous country. What was once unimaginable is now here, and with it, lessons for every oil and gas organization, indeed every company, about the new risks in the digital landscape. ⚒️ Additional Tools & Resources:

Steve Lucas is the CEO of Boomi, a leading integration and automation platform. Before joining Boomi, Steve served as CEO of Marketo, where he led the company's transformation from a $1.6 billion valuation to its acquisition by Adobe for $4.75 billion in just 24 months—one of the largest software acquisitions in history. Prior to that, he held executive leadership roles at SAP and Salesforce, and cut his teeth in technology at Microsoft in the early 1990s. Steve is the author of "Digital Impact," exploring how AI and intelligent automation are reshaping business and society. A passionate advocate for diabetes research after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 26, he serves on the board of the Children's Diabetes Foundation and recently established an endowed chair for diabetes research at the University of Colorado. Known for his curiosity, authenticity, and unwavering commitment to customers—he makes it a rule to speak with at least one customer every single day—Steve brings a unique blend of technical expertise and people-first leadership to one of technology's most transformative eras. In this episode, we discuss: How Bill McDermott's simple advice—"just be you"—freed Steve from a decade of self-doubt and changed his career trajectory The power of saying "no": How Steve took Marketo from $1.6B to $4.9B by doing less, not more Why talking to a customer every single day is non-negotiable and how it transforms your entire organization Turning adversity into strength: Steve's journey with type 1 diabetes and the moment that changed his perspective forever The future of AI in the workplace and why we're the last generation of managers to manage only humans

Episode SummaryThe future of cyber resilience lies at the intersection of data protection, security, and AI. In this conversation, Cohesity CEO Sanjay Poonen joins Danny Allan to explore how organisations can unlock new value by unifying these domains. Sanjay outlines Cohesity's evolution from data protection to security in the ransomware era, to today's AI-focused capabilities, and explains why the company's vast secondary data platform is becoming a foundation for next-generation analytics.Show NotesIn this episode, Sanjay Poonen shares his journey from SAP and VMware to leading Cohesity, highlighting the company's mission to protect, secure, and provide insights on the world's data. He explains the concept of the "data iceberg," where visible production data represents only a small fraction of enterprise assets, while vast amounts of "dark" secondary data remain locked in backups and archives. Poonen discusses how Cohesity is transforming this secondary data from a storage efficiency problem into a source of business intelligence using generative AI and RAG, particularly for unstructured data like documents and images.The conversation delves into the technical integration of Veritas' NetBackup data mover onto Cohesity's file system, creating a unified platform for security scanning and AI analytics. Poonen also elaborates on Cohesity's collaboration with NVIDIA, explaining how they are building AI applications like Gaia on the NVIDIA stack to enable on-premises and sovereign cloud deployments. This approach allows highly regulated industries, such as banking and the public sector, to utilize advanced AI capabilities without exposing sensitive data to public clouds.Looking toward the future, Poonen outlines Cohesity's "three acts": data protection, security (ransomware resilience), and AI-driven insights. He and Danny Allan discuss the critical importance of identity resilience, noting that in an AI-driven world, the security perimeter shifts from network boundaries to the identities of both human users and autonomous AI agents.LinksCohesityNvidiaSnyk - The Developer Security Company Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn

Tema del dia La Sílvia avui ens proposa parlar sobre aquelles preocupacions que tenim en relació amb el propi cos: la forma del nas o els llavis, el nostre pes, els nostres cabells, les nostres pigues... Tot allò que sovint ens avergonyeix quan, en realitat, ens fa únics i especials. Som-hi! Bonus Continuem la conversa i ens centrem en els típics comentaris sobre el físic que ens fan sovint coneguts i familiars. Transcripció Sílvia: [0:15] Bon dia, Andreu! Andreu: [0:16] Bon dia, Sílvia! Sílvia: [0:17] Com anem? Andreu: [0:18] Tot bé. Sílvia: [0:19] Sí? Andreu: [0:19] Tot bé, amb gana. Encara no he esmorzat, però... Sílvia: [0:22] Apa! Encara no has esmorzat? Jo ja fa estona que he esmorzat. Andreu: [0:25] Bé, he esmorzat una mica, molt poquet, però he de fer el segon esmorzar. Sílvia: [0:28] Ah, d'acord. Andreu: [0:30] Tu no fas segon esmorzar? Sílvia: [0:31] Sí, clar! Jo en dic "resmorzó". Andreu: [0:33] "Resmorzó". Està bé, m'agrada. Sílvia: [0:36] Sí. A mig matí. A mig matí, un resmorzó. Home, va bé per acabar d'aguantar fins a l'hora de dinar. Andreu: [0:41] Clar, és que… recordem que aquí dinem tard. Bé, a casa vostra dineu prou aviat, no? A la una o així? Sílvia: [0:47] Sí, dos quarts de dues, però sí. Andreu: [0:49] Sí, està bé, està bé. Jo solc dinar més cap a les dos, quarts de tres... Sílvia: [0:55] Uf! Andreu: [0:56] Tres... Sílvia: [0:56] Vaja! Andreu: [0:57] Sí. Llavors, clar... Sílvia: [0:59] Ja començo a patir. Andreu: [1:02] Sí, sí. Sílvia: [1:03] O sigui, quan es fan les tres ja estic una mica que mossego. Andreu: [1:06] Ah, és veritat, és veritat. Tu et poses de mal humor quan tens gana. Sílvia: [1:10] Molt. Andreu: [1:10] Jo no quan tinc gana, sinó quan he dormit malament. O sigui, si no dormo bé, l'endemà estic de molt mala lluna. I això t'ho pot certificar el Jesús. No, tothom no, perquè davant de persones que no tinc tanta confiança, doncs faig l'esforç de... Sílvia: [1:31] Ah! Fas el cor fort? Andreu: [1:32] Intento que no es noti tant, però amb qui tinc tota la confiança és com... Sílvia: [1:36] S'ho menja tot. Molt bé, "estupendo". Sílvia: [1:37] Zero filtres. Sí, sí. Sap greu, però és així. Sílvia: [1:40] És així, la vida. Andreu: [1:41] És així. Sílvia: [1:41] Sempre diuen que els que viuen amb tu els hauries de tractar com companys de feina, vull dir, amb respecte, que no els hi gosaries dir les coses de qualsevol manera, no? Però molt bonica la teoria, molt complicada la pràctica. Andreu: [1:53] Ja… Però jo gairebé que tractava més els companys de feina com a parella que no al revés. Sílvia: [2:00] Ah, vaja! Andreu: [2:02] Bé, però perquè teníem confiança. És allò que diuen que la confiança fa pudor, fa fàstic, no? Sílvia: [2:07] Sí. Andreu: [2:07] Bé, en fi.

AI adoption among business leaders is facing significant skepticism, as a recent survey by Workato and Harvard Business Review revealed that only 6% of over 600 tech leaders expressed full confidence in AI agents managing essential processes. Despite this lack of trust, 86% of respondents indicated plans to invest more in AI technology over the next two years. Key challenges hindering widespread adoption include cybersecurity concerns, data quality issues, and the readiness of business processes for automation. This situation highlights a critical gap between the desire for AI integration and the actual trust in its capabilities.Further research published in the journal Science indicates that chatbots can significantly influence users' beliefs and opinions, raising governance concerns. The study, which involved nearly 77,000 adults in the UK, found that the persuasiveness of chatbots is influenced more by their post-training modifications and the density of information provided than by the size of the model. Additionally, an experiment by SAP revealed a bias against AI in consulting, where consultants rated AI-generated work lower than that produced by junior interns, despite both outputs being equally accurate. This suggests that psychological factors, rather than technical limitations, are a primary barrier to AI acceptance.The episode also discusses the introduction of a new location tracking feature in Microsoft Teams, which aims to facilitate collaboration in hybrid work environments but raises privacy concerns. A survey indicated that one-third of companies are using monitoring software, which can negatively impact employee morale. Furthermore, Coalition, a cybersecurity insurer, has begun offering coverage for incidents involving deepfakes, reflecting a shift in the risk landscape as synthetic media becomes more prevalent in cybercrime.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the importance of focusing on trust, governance, and process design rather than merely implementing AI tools. As younger leaders demand personalized AI solutions, MSPs must adapt to this shift by enhancing their documentation and identifying predictable workflows suitable for automation. The evolving landscape of AI and cybersecurity risks necessitates that MSPs position themselves as trusted advisors, guiding clients through the complexities of technology adoption and risk management. Four things to know today00:00 New Research Reveals AI's Trust Gap: Low Confidence, High Influence, Professional Bias, and Rising Expectations From Younger Leaders05:53 Teams' New Location Tracking Highlights Tension Between Hybrid Coordination and Workplace Surveillance Risks07:57 Deepfake Coverage Enters Cyber Insurance as Insurers Signal Rising Human-Trust Risk for SMBs and MSPs10:17 iFixit's FixBot Highlights the Coming Divide Between Organized MSPs and Those Unready for AI-Driven Support This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://saasalerts.com/mspradio/ 

Most large enterprises rely on a handful of expansive technology platform solutions to run their business, and the most prominent and widely deployed in oil and gas is SAP. As I've outlined in my books, enterprise solutions such as SAP are also migrating to digital technologies, which triggers a major question: what is the optimal upgrade path for an SAP customer, or any enterprise technology, to adopt? Broadly speaking, there are two strategies to this vexxing question: a brownfield migration or "lift and shift" and a greenfield re-implementation or "start afresh". The problem is that brownfield upgrades rarely deliver any ROI while greenfield is seen as too risky, costly, or complex to execut, especially at the global scale one encounters among the oil and gas majors. Is there a third path, where organizations can preserve their historical data, stay compliant, and still deliver tangible business outcomes? In this episode I speak with Don Mahoney,  Global Head of Products and Innovation at SNP Group about a new approach, coined 'bluefield'. Bluefield lets companies dial in just the right amount of transformation, one that preserves key data, avoids excessive risk, and achieves a positive ROI. I'm very interested in how Bluefield works, how it supports AI training strategies, when to use it, and why it's becoming an attractive model for SAP S/4HANA transitions, and indeed all major platform solution transformations.

In this episode of the Daily, we break down the severe supply chain disruptions occurring as blockades choke Mexico's border trade as farmers and truckers escalate unrest, stranding thousands of truckloads and causing billions in unrealized exports. We also analyze the market outlook as Morgan Stanley sees a supply-side 'spark' for trucking in 2026, predicting that regulatory crackdowns on drivers will significantly tighten capacity and raise rate floors. The conversation turns to safety and compliance, highlighting commentary that the trucking industry needs better crash data to fix critical flaws in how carriers are vetted for liability. Simultaneously, regulators are embracing new technology, as Feds OK automation and say railroads can make fewer visual track safety checks, a move intended to increase efficiency despite union concerns about risk. On the innovation front, we discuss a milestone deployment as the sand must flow: Aurora's driverless fleet hits Permian roads to autonomously haul frac sand for more than 20 hours a day. We close with a look at the intellectual property war in logistics software, where o9 Solutions accuses SAP of trade secret theft in a high-stakes supply chain software dispute, alleging former executives stole thousands of files to boost a competitor's AI capabilities.

What if the biggest threat to your brand's profitability isn't the next tariff or supply chain disruption, but an outdated playbook that forces you to choose between raising prices on loyal customers or sacrificing your margins?Agility requires more than just reacting quickly to market changes; it requires the intelligence to anticipate them and automate the optimal response. Today, we're going to talk about how leading retail brands are navigating complex economic pressures like tariffs and inflation—not by resorting to the old tactics of deep discounts or across-the-board price hikes, but by deploying AI to create a more resilient and intelligent operation. We'll explore how AI is helping brands maintain pricing stability, turn insights from major shopping events into real-time strategy, and fundamentally shift teams from staring at dashboards to taking automated, margin-protecting actions. To help me discuss this topic, I'd like to welcome, Sai Koppala, CMO at CommerceIQ. About Sai Koppala Sai brings over 20 years of marketing and strategy experience. Before CommerceIQ, he was Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer at SheerID and held leadership roles at Apigee (acquired by Google) and SAP.

"If you don't go on the journey, you risk being left behind. The key is to try, learn, and apply AI in a way that creates real value." - Fang Chang, EVP and Chief Product Officer at SAP AI isn't just another feature on your tech checklist. It's changing the way procurement teams deliver impact… but only for those bold enough to rethink from the ground up.  In this podcast episode, host Philip Ideson speaks with Fang Chang, EVP and Chief Product Officer at SAP, who shares what it looks like to rebuild an established platform like Ariba on a true AI foundation. Fang's team didn't just layer new tech onto old workflows; they tore everything down and rebuilt with AI at the core.  If you've ever asked whether your team should wait for the "next" wave of AI innovation or start learning by doing, this conversation is a must-listen. Fang walks through technical choices, balancing agility with reliability, and what an AI-powered procurement experience now enables for the business. In this episode, Fang discusses: Why simply layering AI onto legacy tools leaves value on the table How to decide where AI creates business outcomes… and where it doesn't What real agility looks like in a fast-evolving AI landscape How contextual "insights to action" bring value at every step The new balance of human oversight with AI-driven workflows Links: Fang Chang on LinkedIn Subscribe to This Week in Procurement Subscribe to Art of Procurement on YouTube
