While pursuing your digital transformation, strategizing and prioritizing your next steps in order to cross the innovation chasm is a daunting task. However, you are not alone on your transformation journey…
SAP user groups and communities are here to enable SAP and SAP users, as well as partners to form strategic partnerships, exchange best practices and share experiences, while providing technical and functional feedback to SAP.
Which is why, today’s podcast features a panel of three distinguished leaders of SAP user communities. We have Achim Voermanek, the Global Vice President of SAP Intelligent Spend Community Strategy; Dawn Tiura, the CEO and President of Sourcing Industry Group (SIG) and Geoff Scott, the CEO and Chief Community Champion at Americas’ SAP Users’ Group (ASUG).
We will talk about the role of communities, the value they bring to their members, how they ensure engagement in a hybrid world, and so much more!
