How to scale AI in SAP S/4HANA transformations: A 3-step journey

Many S/4HANA programs were planned long before AI moved to the core of enterprise IT and now face the challenge of catching up. In our new Strategy& report, which I co-authored with Philipp Strobl, David Gross, and Dr. Christian Tietz, we outline how AI can be embedded systematically into S/4HANA transformations rather than added as an afterthought. The essence: treat AI as part of the transformation architecture and operating model – with clear governance (CoE), structured process analysis, and pragmatic integration along SAP Activate. For anyone leading or modernizing an S/4HANA program, it’s worth a read – and I’m always happy to discuss how to make this work in practice

From pilot projects to enterprise-wide value, our new report outlines a practical, staged journey for AI in SAP S/4HANA transformations. Three core steps: 1) anchor AI organizationally with a Center of Excellence; 2) continuously analyze processes to identify AI opportunities; 3) prioritize and embed AI into day-to-day operations.

I never thought I’d say this… but SAP just got interesting. I’ve never been a big fan of SAP: too rigid, too corporate, too slow to evolve. In fact, I even sold my one and only SAP share earlier this year, convinced innovation wasn’t their thing. Well, I might have been wrong... 🤣🤣🤣 SAP is now taking a huge leap forward into the AI era, turning its ERP backbone into a truly intelligent platform. With #Joule, its new #AI #copilot and a strong focus on responsible, #embedded AI, #SAP finally feels usable, conversational, and even a little bit exciting. This isn’t about adding AI “features.” It’s about rethinking how people work with enterprise systems, faster decisions, natural language, and fewer clicks. 👉 Read my full story here about how SAP is reinventing itself as a business AI platform and why I’m starting to regret selling that share. 🤔😉😊 https://lnkd.in/dGF5K54U #SAP #AI #EnterpriseTransformation #DigitalInnovation #BusinessAI
