At SAP, diversity and inclusion are core values that shape our decision-making and business success. #Diversity is a fact, not just a buzzword. However, managing a diverse team can be challenging, as it requires a commitment to understanding different perspectives! Diversity in teams, including varied cultural backgrounds and experiences, is crucial as it widens the lens through which problems are viewed and solutions are developed.  This diversity helps prevent the echo chamber effect, where similar opinions bounce around without critical evaluation. In "The Psychology of Stupidity," the concept of homogeneous teams is explored within the broader context of human cognitive biases and group dynamics.  The book emphasizes that homogeneous teams tend to reinforce their own biases and make more errors in judgment.  This occurs because such teams lack the diversity needed to challenge prevailing assumptions and introduce new viewpoints, which can lead to groupthink and poor decision-making​. Kudos to some of the outstanding managers who cultivated the spirit that different is good. Their commitment to embracing diversity in teams not only fostered an inclusive environment but also encouraged innovative thinking and creative problem-solving. It's thanks to their leadership that we learned to appreciate the value of varied perspectives and experiences, ultimately leading to stronger, more effective teams.

How do you measure a year? For me, 2024 was defined by collaboration, milestones, and the energy of an unstoppable team.    In May, our CPIT Customer & Partner organization came together with a bold goal: to drive excellence end-to-end and transform how we deliver value across SAP. A bold vision, yes – but one we are making real, step by step, as ONE team. 💪   From strengthening customer and partner relationships to driving innovation and simplifying processes, we’ve turned challenges into achievements. But what truly sets this year apart is how we’ve achieved these milestones: through collaboration. Seeing so many of you come together in person across our global offices – from workshops to coffee corner chats – has been truly inspiring. These moments highlight the power of connection and the global spirit that helps us break silos and unlock our full potential. 🌍   On behalf of our CPIT Customer & Partner organization, I want to thank Christian Klein, Sebastian Steinhaeuser, and Dr. Benjamin Blau for your leadership and unwavering support. Your guidance has been instrumental in shaping our journey.   To our remarkable team: thank you for making 2024 extraordinary. Your dedication, expertise, and collaboration are what make this team truly exceptional. Wishing you all a joyful holiday season filled with family, friends, and well-deserved rest.   Let’s make 2025 another year to remember! 🚀   #OurRemarkableTeam #BuildBridgesNotSilos Brian Rickert Gregor Grindjan Thomas Dietmar Schulze Thorsten Thee Sebastian Dobberstein Barbra Fraker Marius Weigand Monika Majerska-Grochola Alexandra Flaig Alexander Treis Sarah Gervers

SAP strengthens #DigitalSovereignty with a dedicated #investment program in #SovereignCloud offerings, adding to its longstanding commitment and expertise in this field. Lately, however, more and more special cloud offerings include the one or the other form of “sovereignty” in their name. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 “𝗦𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱”, 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 – 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹? In short and simple: 🔹The idea behind “Sovereign Cloud” is to create a trusted and secure cloud environment that is subject to governance, laws and regulations of a particular jurisdiction in order to simultaneously protect sensitive national data and leverage its potential. 🔹“Sovereign Cloud” is gaining in popularity because its purpose is gaining in relevance. 🔹And yes, the decision for Sovereign Cloud capabilities holds significant implications for the wellbeing and security of state, economy and the society. Too short and too simple? Let me elaborate a bit and stay tuned for a concise answer in the #upcoming posts.

Ending this week on a (very!) positive note, I am thrilled to share some exciting news: SAP is planning a substantial expansion of SAP BTP availability by the end of 2025. In collaboration with our infrastructure partners, we are working towards establishing SAP BTP in 10+ new datacenter regions. This expansion will include the introduction of BTP regions in Israel, Brazil, Australia, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, with more locations and timeframes to be announced soon. But that's not all: In addition to expanding into new datacenters, we are also increasing the regional availability of SAP BTP applications and services within existing locations. Our goal is to align the availability of these services across different geographical regions, ensuring that our customers can access our flagship SAP BTP solutions from a local datacenter in every country where #SAPBTP is present.  🌍 At SAP, we are dedicated to enabling businesses to run at their best, no matter where they are located. This expansion of SAP BTP is a significant step towards fulfilling that commitment. It allows us to better serve our customers and bring the power of our platform to new markets. ↗ Juergen Mueller Irfan Khan John "JG" Chirapurath Matthias Rosker Find more information here: https://lnkd.in/dKC4rkQv For more input on BTP, check out our latest SAP Business Technology Platform Strategy Paper: https://lnkd.in/df-wbzvJ
