Management has long been treated as the default marker of professional success. Moving into leadership is often seen as a sign of growth and the next logical step for high performers. But for many, this assumption that career progression must lead to people management can leave talented individual contributors feeling misaligned with their passions and strengths.
Take this common pattern: a brilliant software engineer gets promoted to team lead, only to find the new role demands completely different skills. Technical expertise doesn’t always translate into leadership success. Managing people requires mentoring, conflict resolution, and strategic decision-making—skills that aren’t always developed in technical roles.
When companies push top performers into management without proper support or alternatives, they risk losing great individual performers, like engineers or developers, and gaining ineffective managers. As a result, some employees may feel disconnected from the work they love, and stepping back can feel like failure rather than a strategic career choice.
This default move to management can often be a symptom of an organization’s professional learning gaps, where high-performing individual contributors can plateau because structured learning paths for deepening expertise are missing. Plus, it can often be a moment where professional learning is missing and newly minted managers aren’t provided with the proper management training, which sets both individuals and teams up for struggle. Professional learning plays a critical role in this juncture of individuals’ careers, and being able to provide the appropriate learning in this moment is crucial.
Not everyone is cut out for—or interested in—management. A 2024 survey by CoderPad found that 36% of tech workers have no interest in taking on managerial responsibilities. Some professionals thrive as individual contributors, while others excel as people managers, technical leads, or mentors. Recognizing this, forward-thinking companies offer a genuine choice: pursue a management career or deepen expertise as a specialist. This dual-ladder system allows growth that aligns with their strengths, interests, and motivation.
Providing both management and expert career paths does more than boost job satisfaction; it helps retain top talent. When employees see a future that matches their interests, they are more likely to stay, contribute at a higher level, and innovate. It also fosters a culture of continuous learning, where growth isn’t reserved for those who manage others.
Organizations don’t just need boardroom executives or “managers of managers”; they need top performers at every level. That means intentionally creating and rewarding non‑managerial opportunities—with clear progression, pay parity, and visibility.
Effective support for career choice goes beyond general promises of opportunity and structures on paper. Organizations need a clear distinction between management and expert tracks, defined criteria for progression, protected time for learning, and leaders equipped to coach learning and development across both tracks. It also calls for clarity on which competencies are evolving in both leadership and expert roles, ensuring development targets skills, not titles.
Turning that clarity into impact requires a learning infrastructure: curated curricula, mentoring, communities of practice, and visible milestones that normalize expert development. In the SAP context, SAP Learning Journeys and skill-validation programs provide organized resources that can support building and maintaining skills over time, enabling development at different depths and paces, independent of title changes. SAP Certifications serve as neutral milestones that can validate skills, increase transparency, and make expert progression comparable to managerial advancement.

SAP is proud to be recognized as a Leader in the first-ever IDC MarketScape Worldwide Business Automation Platforms 2025 Vendor Assessment.
We believe this recognition is testament to SAP’s long-term vision of integrating all components required for strategic, continuous business process improvement and innovation.
According to the IDC MarketScape, “Business automation technologies have evolved from fragmented solutions into comprehensive business automation platforms (BAPs). These platforms enable enterprises to address diverse process improvement needs through a single system supporting multiple integrated automation technologies.”
Bringing together process analytics from SAP Signavio, user guidance from WalkMe, process integration and automation technology from SAP Business Technology Platform, and the latest Joule Agents allows organizations to significantly accelerate automation initiatives.
IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor’s position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures vendor product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of vendor strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5-year timeframe. Vendor market share is represented by the size of the circles. Vendor year-over-year growth rate relative to the given market is indicated by a plus, neutral or minus next to the vendor name.
Continuous business automation is at the heart of every commercial IT deployment, as it allows companies to simultaneously scale their operations while reducing costs.
But when business applications are augmented with disparate automation technologies – such as standalone AI agent frameworks, workflow systems, integration brokers, rules engines, and process mining tools – they can become fragmented and lack business context. This approach also often requires large amounts of data to be copied outside of the business applications, which increases latency, operational costs, and the risk for expensive data quality issues.
The framework provided by enterprise automation with SAP overcomes these issues by adding an integrated business automation toolset closely linked with SAP Business Suite.
SAP Integration Suite helps ensure seamless data flow between SAP and non-SAP applications to and from standardized services (APIs) and events. Using these services and events, SAP Build then allows orchestration of process flows to implement new automations or adapt existing ones. Then, SAP Signavio enables end-to-end process analytics and optimization with process mining and insights, providing improvement recommendations directly into SAP Build automations. On top, autonomous, AI-powered Joule Agents can then use these automations as “skills,” which allows them to execute standardized business activities. Additionally, users can be guided through complex interactions by WalkMe overlays while feeding back user journey insights into the process improvement cycle.
Thousands of organizations across geographies and industries rely on automation solutions from SAP to optimize their business processes across lines of business. Here are a few:
Business automation technology is advancing in big steps and enables companies to address an ever-increasing scale and complexity of automation projects.
