Guest: Frank Sofia – Head of Americas Executive Talent Attraction, SAP

Host: Akshi Mohla – Business Development Director, SAP Global Industry & Value Advisory

In his book, Good to Great, Jim Collins emphasized the importance of “who” over “what” – by stating that “those who build great organizations make sure they have the right people on the bus and the right people in the key seats before they figure out where to drive the bus”.

To shed a light on this very topic, I am joined by Frank Sofia. He is the Head of Executive Talent Attraction for the Americas, across all markets and lines of business. Prior to his current role, Frank served as the VP of Strategic Workforce Planning for North America Sales.

Episode 111: Reunion Episode: Role of partners in successful Digital Transformations – Alexander Greb May 23, 2022

Guest: Alexander Greb – Vice President – Digital Transformation Consulting, Westernacher Consulting
Host: Akshi Mohla – Business Development Director, SAP Global Industry & Value Advisory

On August 21, 2019, Alexander Greb launched the very first episode of SAP Experts Podcast. And today marks the episode 111 of the podcast. We had to bring the original founder back for this special number episode!

Today, Alexander will share what it was like to launch a technology podcast, with a relatable, coffee-chat format back when it was still something niche in the SaaS world. We also discuss the three-legged-stool that SAP, our partners and our customers form while crossing the transformation chasm.

As Customer Advisory Lead and renowned Tech Evangelist, Alexander has collected vast experience in customer centric strategy implementation, processes, and technology at SAP and several leading business consulting companies for the past two decades. Having implemented digital transformation programs with strategic customers from the shop floor up to C-Level has helped him to gain in-depth knowledge of Best Practices that help customers gain “the unfair competitive advantage”.

Being the author of several publications in Digitalist Magazine and Forbes as well as keynote speaker at global conferences and events such as SAPPHIRE, have made him a sought after Thought Leader and Trusted Advisor for many of SAP’s customers. At Westernacher Consulting he is responsible for sharpening Westernacher’s profile as value-driven “To-Go SAP-Consulting and Implementation Partner” for customers that are not satisfied by approaching their Digitalization Initiative as a Lean Migration but want to put the horsepower of Digitalization and SAPs next-gen ERP fully to the street to become Digital Champions.

What does the future of customer engagements look like? Customers today, more than ever, expect sales ready experiences. They form a perception of your brand, before even interacting in person.

Episode 107: How Knorr-Bremse Unlocked Value with SAP S/4HANA – Michael Hilzinger Apr 04, 2022

Guest: Michael Hilzinger – CIO, Knorr-Bremse
Host: Timo Deiner – Director, Cloud Transformation and Architecture

“SAP S/4HANA is the biggest transformation project in our 110 years company history” – a quote that describes the significance of the change in the company of my today’s guest.

Michael Hilzinger joined me and gave insights on his approach to transform to SAP S/4 HANA. Michael is CIO at the German manufacturer Knorr-Bremse. 110 years ago, they drastically improved the safety of trains by providing brakes and removing the so called “brake vans”, a manually operated braking system.

We spoke about the analogy from back then with a modern SAP S/4HANA system, the role and factors of change management in such a huge transformation and why it’s helpful to improve incrementally instead of a big bang move.

So, if you are interested in firsthand customer insights and perspectives, this episode is made for you. Grab your coffee and tune in.

Guest: Eric Carino – Chief Storyteller, SAP Executive Advisory & Architecture.

Host: Akshi Mohla – Business Development Director, SAP Global Industry & Value Advisory

From our very first memories, stories surround us, inspire us and enthrall us. The stories that we hear and the stories that we tell, define us. But can storytelling be a tool in Value Selling, packaging the customer’s desired goals, the art of the possible, and the value of digital transformation – all with a neat little bow?

To answer this, I am joined by Eric Carinp, the Chief Storyteller at SAP Executive Advisory & Architecture.

In his 18 years at SAP, Eric has been a strategic leader supporting sales pursuits across every Industry. During this time, he has seen the evolution of business and the demands for reinvention that companies are facing today.

Guest: Karl Doose – Executive Advisor, Customer Success

Host: Akshi Mohla – Business Development Director, SAP Global Industry & Value Advisory

Imagine an endless array of three-dimensional experiences, all merged into one shared, persistent and immersive Virtual Universe – the Metaverse. Is it another fad or the next big thing?

Episode 104: Does Transformation require Business Involvement? – Johannes Langguth Mar 14, 2022

Guest: Johannes Langguth – Vice President, Cloud Transformation and Architecture, SAP (MEE region)

Host: Timo Deiner – Director, Cloud Transformation and Architecture

A fresh coffee and a new guest: welcome to the SAP Experts Podcast! Today I am in conversation with my manager, Johannes Langguth. He is Vice President in the Cloud Transformation and Architecture Office in the MEE region at SAP. And we discuss if bringing business onboard is always required for transformation in a company? Should enterprise IT be reactive or is it easier to be proactive?

What if IT becomes an internal platform provider and turns from a cost center to a profit center? What are possible starting points for a transformation? Is an MVP which solves one specific challenge a good start to gain trust? Or is a “top down” approach by modernizing the whole IT landscape a first step to jumpstart transformation more from a strategic perspective?

Lots of questions – and you will find the answers in this episode. My name is Timo Deiner and you are listening to SAP Experts Podcast.

Host: Akshi Mohla – Senior Business Development Specialist, SAP Global Industry & Value Advisory

It is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises – but only performance is reality. This quote by Harold Geneen rings especially true for sports teams as well, wherein the goal is to win.

But what role does a deeper understanding and data around your own team players, as well as the competitors, help in securing the wins? And what can other industries learn from the Sports industry. Since Superbowl was only last night, it is only fair for us to dive into the agile world of Sports Analytics!

My guest today, Bernhard Escherich is an SAP industry expert, with more than 20 years of experience with SAP. He was part of the SAP Sports Industry Business Unit when it began in 2015 until 2020.

He is passionate about bringing insights and best practices from elite sports teams and SAP sport solutions to all industries, to enable healthier working environments and lifestyles. He was a water polo player in his youth, and you can still find him at the pool every morning at 6.30am.

Bernhard and I will be discussing topics from a latest SAP whitepaper on Sports Analytics, which I have included in the shownotes, so that you too can keep the Superbowl celebrations going with this deeper dive into everything Sports Analytics!

Episode 91: Compelling Customer Engagements Masterclass – Cyril Rathogwa and Lars Elmquist Nov 22, 2021

Guests:

Lars Elmquist – Global Presales Procurement Hub Lead, SAP Intelligent Spend Management
Cyril Rathogwa – Sr. Solution Advisor, SAP Intelligent Spend Management

Host: Akshi Mohla – Senior Business Development Specialist, SAP S/4HANA Solution Management and GTM

There are some studies which claim that the human attention span continues to decrease and might be as low as 8 seconds – that’s lower than a goldfish. While there are other studies which claim that humans were always cognitively distracted and hyper-alert creatures, which enabled us to accomplish complex tasks while still being aware of our surroundings.

Well, either way, one thing is true – the sheer amount of information around us is increasing, and as a result, we are always competing for the attention of our audiences. How do we create an enthralling enough experience, that could capture an audience for 10 mins, 30 mins, 2 hours?

Which is why, today, I am joined by two individuals who have mastered the art of creating compelling customer engagements – Cyril Rathogwa and Lars Elmquist!

My guest, Cyril, is a passionate football enthusiast and storyteller. He is a senior solutions adviser in the Intelligent Spend Business Network covering the entire Africa continent.

Cyril has over 15 years procurement experience in different industries. His experience includes consulting, procurement process re-engineering and advising clients in public, retail and financial sectors.

He also brings a vast amount of implementation experience of sourcing, contract management, procurement and inventory management systems, and has led support teams responsible for supporting and providing thought leadership for procurement applications.

Because of his vast knowledge in the procurement areas, Cyril often speaks on wide ranging procurement topics on various public forums.

My guest, Lars, began his SAP journey in 2015, and since the last 3 1/2 year has been the Global Solution Hub Lead for the Procurement Line of Business. His role is an amalgamation of Community Leadership, Content Management, Corporate Programs & Knowledge Sharing.

Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Lars is an expert of visual best practices. He uses visuals both in relation to his work, including internal and external presentations, and also privately, in his photography, sketching and whiteboards

As always, my name Akshi Mohla, and you’re listening to SAP Experts Podcast.

This episode of SAP Experts Podcast is a full-circle moment for me. That’s because the very first episode I ever hosted, by myself, for SAP Experts Podcast was about gamified approaches being a game changer in business consulting and learning. In that episode, I discussed how SAP uses gamification to collaborate with our customers, while enabling Business Value Identification.

And in today’s episode, we revisit that topic, but this time we take the leap from theoretical to practical. Today we will talk about how the SAP S/4HANA Virtual Board Game simplifies the solution discovery, as well as the business value identification for our current customers and prospective customers. And not just that, but this gamified approach also provides useful, tangible outcomes to the players.

Which is why, today, I am joined by the brains behind this gamified approach, Saurabh Choudhuri.

Saurabh has over 13 years of Sales, Presales, Consulting & Agile Coaching experience in the IT industry, across various global firms. Saurabh joined SAP in 2011 as a “Management Intern” and during his tenure, has worked on many key customer facing projects like SAP ByDesign product launch, Ariba Sales and today, Saurabh is part of the SAP S/4HANA Go-To-Market & Solution Management, as the Sr. Global Director leading the Gamified SAP Value Discovery Experience track.

Saurabh also has an entrepreneurial spirit and has cofounded 2 .COM companies. He has an MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore and executive management diploma in Leadership & Strategy from Harvard Business School. On a personal note, Saurabh enjoys spending time with his 2 little girls & wife and trying local cuisines while travelling.

We are also joined by two returning guests Bill Bowers and Nabeel Siddiqui. Because a radical, innovative approaches like this one require leadership and teamwork to become a reality, which is what Bill, Nabeel and yours truly, provided.

Host:

What are you thinking about when you hear SAP and startups? David vs Goliath? Nokia vs Apple – and who has the role of Nokia in this comparison? Or is it a perfect match? Startups have great -mostly purpose driven- ideas to make the world better and SAP’s mission is to help the world run better. Does an early-stage startup need SAP S/4HANA or any other SAP solution to reach its next level? We think yes. And we have a dedicated team at SAP which helps startups, so called hypergrowth startups, to boost their company together with SAP. My today’s guest is Jan Gutknecht, he is Co-Founder of the SAP Hypergrowth Engagement and we are talking about four pillars on startup engagements: language, speed, challenges and cultures.

Guest: Bettina Zedlitz – Director for Sustainability and Climate 21 Go-to-Market and Solution Management, S/4HANA

The need for drastic and swift change is chrystal clear.

As such she has the overview over all the sustainability-related activities happening at SAP.

Episode 75: How to run and scale a mobile business – Martin Lang Jul 26, 2021

Hello and welcome to a new episode of the SAP Experts Podcast. My name is Timo Deiner and I am an innovation manager at the german office of the CTO at SAP Germany. Today we are leaving the mindset paths and dive into a really relevant topic which touches our daily live: mobile devices.

Have you ever wondered how to run enterprise mobility at scale? SAP has around about 85.000 iOS devices, they are all managed and we as employees have the best experience when using these devices.

My guest today has made all that possible when he started a mobile team many years ago: Martin Lang. Today he is head of Mobile Experience in the board area of Thomas Saueressig.

We talked about some security myths from the past, the role of gamification and fun during development and the upcoming flagship app “SAP Mobile Start”. Let’s jump into the episode and listen to Martin what SAP is bringing in the future for mobilizing the Intelligent Enterprise.

Episode 74: The Storyteller’s Story: how to tell business stories – James Marland Jul 19, 2021

Guest: James Marland – Global Vice President, SAP Intelligent Enterprise & Business Network
Host: Akshi Mohla – Senior Business Development Specialist, SAP S/4HANA Solution Management and GTM

Storytelling is an intrinsic part of the human experience, dating back thousands of years. Much of history as we know it is due largely to stories being passed down through generations. There is nothing quite as compelling as a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. So how does this translate to the presentation space?

We will learn in today’s “storytelling special” episode of SAP Experts Podcast.

As always, my name Akshi Mohla, and I am a Senior Business Development Specialist at SAP S/4HANA Solution Management and Go-to-market; and you’re listening to SAP Experts Podcast.

My guest today is none other than, the Chief Storyteller himself – James Marland. James is a Global Vice President in the Centre of Excellence for Procurement at SAP. After being first exposed to procurement as a consultant at SAP he moved to the newly formed Ariba in 1998. With the acquisition of Ariba in 2012, he ended up back at SAP as a Vice-President of Network Strategy, uniquely with experience of procurement from both companies. In his current role he meets with procurement professionals to work with them on building the business case for SAP solutions. With the unofficial title of “Chief Storyteller” he tries to make a storyteller out of everyone through Social Media, new hire onboarding and mentoring. You’ll see him passionately preaching the procurement story of SAP to each new hire through his preferred medium of a whiteboard. He also contributes to the SAP story on social media, blogs and at events. Just don’t expect to see him using PowerPoint!

More on that on this episode of the SAP Experts Podcast.
