The latest article by Andre Bechtold in Human Resources Manager explores how organizations can foster continuous learning through the concept of Learnfluencers—and SAP’s Developer Advocates, led by Thomas Jung, are a prime example. In a world where tech evolves faster than traditional training can keep up, SAP Developer Advocates step in as passionate enablers of learning. They share insights through blogs, videos, workshops, and peer support, creating a vibrant, responsive learning culture. Why SAP Developer Advocates matter: They react quickly to emerging trends. They share practical, real-world knowledge. They are one of the coolest teams at SAP. They know their stuff. This approach doesn’t just transfer knowledge—it embeds it into the daily flow of work, breaking down silos and accelerating onboarding. It’s a living, breathing model of how learning can thrive in fast-moving environments.

🎙️ “As AI matures, if we believe people work for us just to do the task we hired them for... and when that task disappears, they disappear... then we’re missing the opportunity to build a more holistic, more committed workforce.” — Peter Temes, on Process Transformers In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Peter Temes, founder of the ILO Institute. We explored: - How AI is reshaping roles around who people are, not just what they do - Why micro-credentials and matching platforms open new career pathways - The importance of purpose, identity, and trust in the AI-enabled workplace - And why the best organizations will see their people as partners, not placeholders This one is for anyone asking not just what AI can do but what it means for the people doing the work. Big thanks to the team: Beyza Kartal, Jahanzeb Khan, Reagan Nyandoro, Erica Davis, Cecilia Sarquis, Fawzi Mourad, and Julien Thevenod #AI #FutureOfWork #OrganizationalDesign #WorkforceTransformation #Leadership #ProcessTransformers #SAPSignavio #HumanCenteredAI #Trust #WorkplaceCulture #ILOInstitute

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending an inspiring lecture by Uwe P. Prof. Dr. Kanning. on the topic: “Do we need more intuition in personnel selection?” I already knew Prof. Dr. Kanning from my university days and once again, I was reminded how powerful, impactful and business-critical professional personnel selection truly is when it is done right. Talent Acquisition is not about having “nice conversations.” It is not about gut feeling dressed up as experience. And it is certainly not a “soft” HR add-on. When executed competently and based on sound methodology, personnel selection becomes a real business driver. Good hiring decisions are not a nice to have. They are a measurable business case. The difference between intuition alone and professionally grounded decision-making is the difference between luck and strategy. And strategy wins. For me, this lecture was a powerful reminder: Talent Acquisition carries responsibility. Not only for people, but for performance, growth and long-term company success. 💪 Making strong hiring decisions is not administrative work. It is one of the most strategic levers a business has. 🚀 #TalentAcquisition #HiringWithImpact #PeoplePowered #Leadership #BusinessImpact

From the Neckar to the Charles River: research without borders Heidelberg University and Harvard University have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding to give their long-standing collaboration a stronger structure and room to grow. Signed in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Frauke Melchior and Alan Garber, it opens clear paths for researchers, students, and projects to move in both directions. Read the announcement: https://lnkd.in/eF7JShqB The institutional partnership builds on decades of joint work in medicine and global health, neuroscience, astrophysics, molecular systems engineering and advanced materials, history, theology, Asian studies, environmental physics, and social sciences. What is new: a teaching hub in Heidelberg for hybrid and digital formats, an incubator to launch joint projects, an innovation hub to connect research with practice, and funded research stays with laboratories, workspaces, and housing ready on both sides. Further agreements are already in preparation across multiple disciplines. Picture a Heidelberg historian spending months in Harvard’s rare-book libraries, or a Harvard astrophysicist using Heidelberg’s observatories to test a new telescope design. It is an open door for members of the academic community at Harvard and Heidelberg to begin collaborations that neither side could shape alone. Imagine what will cross that threshold next. #UniHeidelberg #Heidelberg #university #ResearchWithoutBorders #AcademicPartnerships

Here is the most universal career advice I have (This is to all the school kids and young people out there): If you fear there is no lasting educational path left… If you fear that anything you invest into will be disrupted by the mega trends in this world… If you fear all the things you learn at Uni will become obsolete in years if not months… If you then feel, “AI” is the thing to learn to stay in the game… Then think again! There is (only) one thing that no trend in this world, no AI, no other new technology, no societal system will ever change. By definition. There is one thing that could be your everlasting superpower… Physics. Yes, study Physics! Because the laws of nature will never change. And btw eventually you will become CEO of one of the greatest companies on this planet like Roland Busch Or -no offend my fellow marketers- “end up” in marketing 🤣 like me But one thing is clear, you will not regret it. (Well, when you’re through ;-)) #physics #careeradvice

💡 "More courage for digital transformation!" —Insights from the Stuttgart AI Summit At the recent summit, experts called for more courage in using AI, especially in SMEs. Currently, only 20 percent of German companies use AI, and a further 25 percent plan to introduce it within a year. Those already investing often see a profit in less than a week — proof of how quickly AI can pay off in production and product development. This issue is close to my heart. In our world of precision packaging machines, AI is not an option but a strategic imperative. For instance, AI-based predictive maintenance solutions are becoming increasingly relevant. By analyzing machine and sensor data in real time, it is possible to detect anomalies early and therefore avoid costly downtime. However, integrating AI is not enough; we must also build AI expertise. In addition to new tools, internal training and knowledge transfer are equally crucial. At Uhlmann Pac-Systeme, we are working to identify and prioritize AI-based use cases. To all machine builders and packaging specialists, let's approach AI with courage. Start small, think big, and mobilize talent. The future of efficient, resilient production depends on it. ➡️ What AI use cases have you tested in industrial environments that pay off quickly? #SmartManufacturing #PharmaPackaging #DigitalTransformation #UhlmannPacSysteme #IndustrialAI https://lnkd.in/e6n7HFyM

In today’s fast-moving environment, making good decisions quickly is more important than ever. That’s why I love the idea of using SWOT analysis not just as a theoretical tool, but as a practical framework for navigating uncertainty and change. This post and the course behind it show how SWOT can help turn reactive moments into strategic action—whether you're managing a project, preparing for a client meeting, or planning your next career step. 💡 If you're looking for a simple yet powerful way to make better decisions in volatile times, this is worth a look! Christine Schubernig great work! thanks for sharing! https://lnkd.in/dtu9SRTz #SWOT #DecisionMaking #StrategicThinking #ChangeManagement #ContinuousLearning #LinkedInLearning

Great summary from the Consul General of Germany in San Francisco Oliver Schramm of today's productive dialogue with the German Council of Economic Experts.   I was particularly energized by the discussion around AI ecosystems as productivity drivers, and the critical need for secure and sovereign data spaces. The conversation reinforced something we see daily at SAP: the challenge isn't just building advanced AI capabilities, but creating the trusted infrastructure and governance frameworks that allow businesses and governments to leverage them at scale. This is critical as SAP helps organizations navigate the intersection of AI innovation and regulatory compliance across different markets.   Prof. Monika Schnitzer and Prof. Frank Werding brought invaluable perspectives on how technology partnerships can strengthen economic sovereignty while fostering innovation. From SAP perspective, this balance is essential as we advance technologies that need to scale globally while respecting local governance requirements.   Grateful for the opportunity to host this important transatlantic exchange with Stefan Goebel at our San Francisco office and with the with Sven Thorsten Potthoff from the GACC WEST - Representative of German Business.

The single biggest advantage we're seeing in #AI and #agents at SAP is summarisation and #search in #CRM. Looking back at the last 10 years I can say search inside almost every major application or website is now an incredibly poor experience compared to #chatgpt or #gemini or #claude. How we ask for information and how we are presented with answers is changing... FAST The problem in #sales, #customerservice, #fieldservice management is that we've gotten to the point where capturing tasks and information is mainly automatic - sync email, meetings, calls, web visits, product data, asset management and IoT, real-time delivery updates, orders, invoices, pricing - the data is all there. But it's HUGE and in some cases SAP customers are managing millions of opportunities, millions of orders, millions of cases across millions of contacts at thousands of customers. How can I find the information I'm looking for without pages and pages of answers and 10-15 clicks and scrolls through information to find the answers I need. What we're seeing is business users are often overwhelmed with information and struggle to find out the basics "who am I speaking with, where are they from, what do they want, how can I help?". 1-2 minutes of a #customerservice call or case is just reading notes. 5-10 minutes sitting in the car before a customer visit in #accountmanagement is remembering who you're visiting and why you're there. If you're visiting 4-5 customers per day in field service it takes time to organise who you're visiting, what machines or products they have and what the problem might be. Agentic AI is very good at summarising information into 1-2 paragraphs in natural language. Agentic AI is very good at reading 700 pages of a document and pulling out the right 2 lines to answer a question in human language. When see customers who are adopting AI in their #customerexperience offering they're looking for opportunities to increase productivity and reduce friction for their business users and their customers in just making it easier to find and use information. If you're worried about the impact on your users or your business look for an opportunity to just make it easier to find the answers to the most common questions in less clicks across less screens - your users will thank you and you'll have happier customers and a more profitable #business. https://lnkd.in/e6DewWag

Wieland Electric’s story is such a powerful reminder of why unified data matters. Our CEO, @David Roberts visited their team in Bamberg, where they shared how fragmented tools held back forecasting, planning, and customer support. Today, with SugarCRM and our partner ISC it & software consultants GmbH, they’ve moved to one global standard, giving every team the same clear view of the customer. A real win for manufacturing teams navigating complexity at scale.

🚀 Real-time production insights – powered by d.u.h.Group, Mendix & Amazon Web Services (AWS) I’m happy to share a successful customer digitalization project delivered by our German Partner d.u.h.Group in collaboration with our customer DiloGroup Systems GmbH. Leveraging the Mendix low-code platform by Siemens Digital Industries Software, combined with Amazon Web Services (AWS) capabilities, the team developed a cutting-edge application enabling smart monitoring and preventive maintenance. And the real game-changer? With this solution, DiloGroup Systems GmbH reduces software setup time from 2-3 days down to a few minutes unleashing a truly scalable digital business model. 🎯 The Challenge The legacy system no longer met the increasing demands for performance, adaptability, and especially real-time capabilities. The goal was to build a secure, user-friendly, and scalable solution capable of seamlessly integrating multiple data sources and accommodating the wide variety of Dilo’s machines. 💡 The Solution The d.u.h.Group team implemented a Mendix-based application enabling real-time data acquisition, visualization, and external user access control. The application uses Mendix for the user interface, while Amazon Web Services (AWS) handles data ingestion and processing — providing a scalable backend for real-time analytics. Furthermore, an easily customizable digital functional twin of Dilo’s machines, as well as an individual maintenance module, were implemented — streamlining operations, facilitating smart machine monitoring, and reducing downtime as a result. Thanks to the low-code approach, everything was delivered with speed, flexibility, and excellent UX. 🏆 The Results ✔ Real-time smart insights for better operations ✔ Faster customization from 2-3 days down to minutes ✔ Intuitive UX/UI driving user acceptance ✔ Scalable digital business model enabled ➡️ Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/g94xpsSf   ➡️ More on this in German at d.u.h.Group: https://lnkd.in/gjjSCYEm #DiloGroupDiloGroupDiloGroupDiloGroupDiloGroup #dddd.u.h.Group #AWS #Mendix #SiemensPartners #LowCode #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #ONETechCompany #digitalindustries #Productivity #SiemensXcelerator #TodayMeetsTomorrow #industry40 #DigitalTransformation #technology #future #sales Raymond Kok Edwin Severijn Johan Ronsyn Leon van Moorsel Dirk U Hindrichs Stefan C.
