Reflecting on a pleasant experience at SAPinsider EMEA 2023! 👥🌐 Beyond the anticipated, the unexpected brilliance of some speakers and third-party providers left me genuinely inspired. The connections made, both with fellow SAP enthusiasts and my incredible coworkers, added an invaluable layer to the experience. And let's not forget the standout keynote by Adir Shiffman whose insights were nothing short of brilliant. Excited to bring this newfound inspiration into our collective journey of innovation! 🚀 #SAPinsiderEMEA2023 #TechInnovation #TeamInspiration"

🎉Exciting news to share! We've hit a milestone in our digital transformation journey at Pandora! Back in February, alongside Mariane Heidingsfelder and Masihuddin Mohammed, we launched the SAP4Pandora Community initiative to drive SAP excellence across our digital and technology department 🌟 Reflecting on our journey, here are some key insights that have shaped our success: 🤝 Getting support from key leaders was crucial, giving our initiative the push it needed. 🎯 We focused on making every piece of content really count, rather than overwhelming with too much. 💡 Making topics come alive with demos and real-world use cases got everyone interested and showed how valuable SAP can be. 📊 Using data to see how we're doing helps us improve and make sure we're on track. To date, we average 80-100 participants per event and our members rate our community 8.5/10. In a sea of communities, our journey with SAP4Pandora stands out as a testament to focused effort and strategic planning. And a huge thanks to our external speakers so far Steven Riedel, Hanne Schultz Andersen, Arpit Oberoi, Dominik Meier, Manuel Lopez Buendia, and Alix SIGUIER. Looking ahead, we're thrilled about our upcoming session on SAP Digital Manufacturing with Kevin Hunter and Dominik Tolksdorf. Together, we're advancing SAP knowledge across Pandora's tech department!💡💼 #SAP4Pandora #DigitalTransformation #InnovateWithSAP

It's inspiring to see our team members embrace opportunities for growth and learning 💡. A huge shout-out to Magdalena Chronowska, George Sandu, Themis Nastos, Tomasz Siedlecki, Gabriela Olteanu and Pradeep Tanisetty for representing IKEA at the recent SAP Sapphire event and for sharing their enriching experience with us all. Visiting SAP Sapphire not only allows us to stay ahead of the curve in terms of the latest technological advancements, but it also solidifies our commitment to our journey with SAP. At IKEA, our collaboration with SAP has been pivotal in streamlining our operations, enhancing customer experiences, and fortifying our digital backbone. 🌐 🛠️ As we navigate through the intricacies of digital transformation, it's crucial to step outside our corporate walls and gather fresh perspectives. Engaging with thought leaders, innovators, and peers at events like SAP Sapphire fuels our strategic thought process and sparks innovation. 🚀 💭 Such experiences are invaluable as they enable us to learn, share, and apply best practices from around the globe, ensuring IKEA remains at the forefront of the revolution. Let's continue to venture beyond the familiar, embrace the opportunities for transformation, and lead the change in creating a seamless, efficient, and sustainable future for all our customers. 🌿🛋️ #IKEADigitalJourney #SAPSapphire #DigitalTransformation #Innovation

🌟A remarkable day @SAP Prague🌟 SAP Prague was abuzz with an extraordinary vibe as we welcomed Christian Klein, our CEO. His visit wasn’t just a moment; it was a movement. Christian’s energy ignited our passion, reminding us why SAP leads the cloud domain. We're reminded of our crucial role in maintaining SAP as the leading cloud company, driven by our diverse talents and innovative spirit 💡 . His acknowledgment of our dedicated effort and visionary future strategies highlighted the unique blend of dedication and heritage that makes us stand out. His open and honest discussions on topics close to our hearts 💬 —AI, returning to the office, and board-level decision-making—exemplified the genuine leadership that guides us. My amazing colleague Xinyue Hu and I are excited to share some key insights from his talk which might offer valuable lessons for our career development: 1️⃣ The Power of Presence 👩💼 A critical turning point in his path to leadership, also underscoring how being physically present in the office was instrumental in his rise to CEO. The essence of his ascent lay in networking and fostering significant connections, a process greatly enriched by his distinctive charm and character. A vital principle needs to be stressed for all of us - 💎 being in the right place at the right time. 2️⃣ Embracing AI: Transforming Our Future at Work 👨💻 #AI is set to revolutionize business operations, and we're thrilled about the immense possibilities it introduces to our offerings. Leveraging AI, we're on the path to simplifying our workflows, enhancing our platform integration, and driving transformative changes across the board - 💎 It's crucial for us to grasp this opportunity, learning and adapting to harness AI's full potential. Xinyue Hu and myself would also like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation towards Artur Harutyunyan for his amazing leadership and continuous support 🙌 The vibrancy and collective enthusiasm in our team yesterday reaffirmed our commitment to SAP's journey and the incredible community we're building together!☀️ #SAP #sapprague #runwithsap #leadership #Inspiration #lifeatsap

September 2024 will probably be the month that will see the maximum number of SAP business cases hit the boardrooms ever! At Barcelona this week, the INNOVERV team met so many leaders from organisations across Europe, all looking to transform their businesses with S/4HANA. Many of them are excited and yet worried about the journey - how do they get their businesses ready for #adoptNOTadapt , implement #cleanCORE principles and scale #AIforBusiness (of course!) With so many S/4 transformations underway and not every one necessarily going well, the stage is set for new ways of doing things. Being ‘business led’, getting the ‘A team’, leveraging an ‘AI first Delivery Model’ and ‘reimagining the way business change’ is affected are the needs of the hour. Time for INNOVERV. “We are looking for INNOVERV to take the lead and transform the ecosystem we are building as SAP” - cazali celine SAP UKI Chief Partner Officer. SAPPHIRE ‘23 to SAPPHIRE ‘24, a lot has changed - and the past year has seen the emergence of INNOVERV in a way that even we, the founders, couldn’t have imagined as we have gone from strength to strength! From not existing, to serving some of the leading organisations in the planet across Europe and North America; hiring top talent, and celebrating our teams even as some of the other firms sacked and gagged their people; converting our clients into ‘fans’ who then contributed to meaningful thought leadership on our eminence forums #INNOVERVunplugged, we couldn’t have wished for more! Barcelona was an opportunity to take stock and reflect, meet our clients, friends and well wishers and firm up our resolve for an even more spectacular year ahead. Bring on SAPPHIRE ‘26 :-)

GOODBYE SAP! 10 years after my first day at SAP and losing my car in one of these countless car parks in Walldorf and desperately calling my mom… 🚨 7 years after my first customer pitch, where I forgot to tell my surname due to nervousness and the CIO consistently called me Mr. Enrico… 🙆🏻♂️ 3 years after joining the Digital Hub MEE and founding the RISE Student Taskforce – SAP’s greatest Cloud ERP outbound engine and my heart project… ♥️ 1 year after being promoted as people manager for a highly talented team of unique characters – my biggest learning curve… ⭐️ 1 hour after my last official day at SAP and listening to James Blunt because of lovesickness…   When I entered the sacred halls of SAP in Walldorf in 2014, I looked like the exact definition of “virginity”. Several SAP years, fights, learnings and wins later, I should think about getting my first facial care products to smooth my wrinkles…   Thank you, SAP family, for accompanying a formative phase of my life. A big praise to the three managers, who gave me wings to unfold my strengths and creativity in the last years: Dr. Ramin Shariatmadari, Thomas Pickel and Frank Strack. You believed in me, placed trust in our teams and we achieved remarkable results. 🙏🏼   In July 2024, I will open a new chapter together with our SAP gold partner AGILITA. According to SAP’s strategy, I will support the partner to achieve more self-sufficiency in our partner-led territories. I am highly convinced that a strong partner ecosystem will be the foundation for staying ahead of competition.  As Head of Sales Development, I will support the S/4HANA Cloud market expansion in Germany and Switzerland. AGILITA increasingly focuses on a strong regional solidarity with SAP. 
Therefore, I am very pleased to open a new AGILITA location in Mannheim to stay in close proximity to Walldorf. 🚀   I wish you all the best!  
See you soon! #SAP #partner #strongertogether
