Expansion of SAP Preferred Success Clears the Way to Smart Supply Chains
After a decade of disruption, the definition of supply chain optimization is becoming broader and more complex. The goal is no longer getting things from point A to point B. It’s running an ever-evolving web with rapid responses, proactive problem-solving, and continuous operational improvement.
In response, businesses carefully reevaluate different supply chain strategies, such as just-in-time manufacturing, dual sourcing, reshoring, and stockpiling. And a big part of that conversation is the rapidly advancing capabilities of generative AI, data analytics, automation, machine learning, and many more technologies.
However, transitioning from strategies to impactful actions poses a significant challenge for most supply chain organizations. This hurdle is primarily due to the intricate nature of implementation initiatives, which often deviate from best practices, result in suboptimal user experiences, and need a comprehensive adoption strategy.
Encouragingly, a growing number of businesses are defying this trend by using the expanded edition of the SAP Preferred Success plan for the SAP Integrated Business Planning (SAP IBP) for Supply Chain solution.
Kick-Starting a New Era of Proactive Optimization
No matter where they are on their path to becoming a smart supply chain, companies gain incredible value from accessing personalized support and resources on demand. Even if strategies are clear and goals are specific, adopting the right technologies is critical – and this requires in-depth expertise and experience in what works well and what should be avoided.
SAP Preferred Success for SAP IBP for Supply Chain, expanded edition can offer all that guidance by augmenting the standard offering of SAP Preferred Success. The proactive success plan builds on top of the personalized planning, tailored guidance, accelerated adoptions, continuous improvement, data-driven insights into key features, access to experts, and risk mitigation that’s already available.
Such enhancements are extended with access to product specialists, prescriptive solution reviews, proactive monitoring, and targeted feature adoption assistance. Additional services can also help customers by providing very detailed reviews and analysis of their current instance of SAP IBP for Supply Chain.
These knowledgeable expertise, services, and resources are designed to help maximize and accelerate the bottom-line value of supply chain operations while minimizing the need for multiple statements of work. Opportunities for process improvement can be identified through the analysis of solution usage, best practices, and potential gains. Furthermore, supply chain planning processes can be continuously enhanced by pinpointing, evaluating, and activating the latest capabilities in SAP IBP for Supply Chain to help speed up adoption and achieve business goals.
Delivering Value with Guided Adoption and Transformation
A key feature of this expanded edition is the assignment of a product specialist. This specialist helps coordinate opportunities for customers to receive in-depth guidance and insights from relevant subject-matter experts within SAP. For example, regular calls are arranged to schedule and deliver essential services and offer direct access to SAP experts who can give targeted guidance and recommendations on best practices and assistance with SAP Business AI capabilities.
One of the standout enhancements is the prescriptive solution review, a one-on-one workshop tailored to meet the unique needs and objectives of each organization. It is designed to help elevate the operational excellence and solution design of SAP IBP for Supply Chain. By engaging with experienced functional and technical consultants, organizations can receive actionable recommendations and advice on solution configuration changes that lessen existing challenges, enhance the user experience, and limit bottlenecks.
In addition to solution reviews, the expanded edition can provide targeted feature adoption assistance. Subject-matter experts understand your business goals and can collaborate with organizations to identify, evaluate, and deploy the most relevant features. More importantly, this level of support can allow businesses to maximize solution adoption and business outcomes with insight into potential value.
The benefits of SAP Preferred Success for SAP IBP for Supply Chain, expanded edition can go even further with proactive monitoring checks. These services help ensure ongoing solution stability by detecting and analyzing potential issues around performance and checking the system’s status against the latest administrative and technical requirements.
Driving Success with Future-Proof Supply Chains
Considering the importance of efficiency and agility in today’s supply chain, the expanded edition of SAP Preferred Success for SAP IBP for Supply Chain couldn’t have come at a better time. The comprehensive plan of personalized support, expert guidance, and advanced analytical tools can empower businesses to navigate the complexities of modern supply chain management confidently and strategically.

Collaborating Across Generations: Problems That Span Generations Require Leadership That Does Too
More than half of the people on earth are under the age of 30, yet in political arenas and board rooms they are scarcely present. Why are we building a future without the voices of those who will inherit it?
In a new 2024 global study on the power of intergenerational collaboration published by We Are Family Foundation (WAFF) in partnership with The Possibilists and the Vienna University of Economics and Business, 87% of respondents cited believe youth have ideas and solutions that can improve or solve global issues. Yet, only 19% agree that youth are currently given enough opportunities to lead and contribute. We need young people to help rethink, reshape, challenge, and collaborate alongside today’s decision-makers as we solve the world’s unprecedented problems.
No single generation has all the answers. SAP embraces this methodology of intergenerational collaboration, bringing dynamic perspectives together across its business in hopes that young experts can work alongside today’s leaders to shape the future of both business and our world. As evidenced by WAFF’s global study, here are some additional insights as to why this strategy is one you should consider too.
Youth Are Digital Natives in a Tech-Driven Era
Technology can help address the most profound environmental, economic, and social challenges of our time. Software and analytics can help predict and prevent disasters, make cities smarter, and foster equity in workplaces. In this era of rapid technological evolution, leaders of all generations have valuable perspective and expertise to augment the power of technology as well.
WAFF’s global study reminds us that Gen Z are digital natives who grew up online and “have adapted to learn, grow, and build skills in an entirely new and accelerated ways.” The study goes on to remind leaders that by investing in young people now, global leaders and corporations alike can sooner harness their technological expertise and unique lived experiences.
SAP, for example, is curating partnerships and opportunities that invest in the expertise of young social entrepreneurs, like 19-year-old Sneha Revanur, CEO and founder of Encode Justice and one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in AI 2023. At World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, this January, Revanur sat alongside Chief Technology Officer and Member of the Executive Board of SAP SE Juergen Mueller, hosting a powerful conversation on the future of AI and the opportunity to bring youth to the table. “In spaces rife with credentialism, young people can offer perspectives that are rooted in lived experience,” Revanur shares.
Mueller affirms this approach: “I strongly believe in the power of intergenerational leadership – involving young talents in decision-making processes helps to bring the best in innovation to market. For instance, I have an early talent board in my organization who I regularly exchange with and get valuable guidance from. I also had the opportunity to meet with several young changemakers at events like the World Economic Forum in the last years and could learn a lot from them. Giving young leaders a seat at the table brings the right connections, mindsets, and energy together to create innovative and responsible solutions.”
Youth Demand Accountability
The tech industry and young people are united by a common cause: ensuring responsible data use and harnessing its power for good. Data allows us to generate accurate and actionable insights to transform the way the world works. When companies and governments have access to data-driven information, they can use those insights to achieve their vision – be it to clean the ocean, transform industries, or redefine the future of work. Effective solutions and responsible technology require collaboration, however. Data provides a foundation, but real change occurs when the public, private, and social sectors work together to create solutions.
This collaborative spirit echoes the work of Revanur and Encode Justice to leverage the power of data to shape the future. Encode Justice launched an intergenerational and multisector campaign towards AI ethical regulation by 2023. “Recent breakthroughs are transforming social, political, and economic realities, but they have not come without unanticipated risks…As AI grows more and more capable, harms will only proliferate. Our shared future is more precarious now than ever before. It is young people who have the most to gain – and the most to lose,” Encode Justice’s website reads.
