Guest: Bettina Zedlitz – Director for Sustainability and Climate 21 Go-to-Market and Solution Management, S/4HANA
Host: Victor Hoeck – Solution Advisory Specialist, Digital Supply Chain

Today we’re talking about a topic that is very dear to my heart: Sustainability. Not least the extreme weather events that have taken place in the recent weeks – the wildfires in the USA, or the floods in Germany and China – have highlighted that the case for sustainability shouldn’t be negotiable anymore. The need for drastic and swift change is chrystal clear.

I am talking to Bettina Zedlitz today, she is the Senior Director for Sustainability and Climate 21 Go-to-Market and Solution Management in the SAP S/4HANA organization. As such she has the overview over all the sustainability-related activities happening at SAP. We talk about why sustainability needs to be taken seriously by businesses, how SAP supports enterprises in doing their part in reducing their environmental footprint, but also how we ourselves are integrating sustainability in our own lives.

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.

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.
