Hello SAP Community,

Welcome to our 'SAP S/4HANA Digital Discovery' to understand and implement your SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP solution scope and features with a business outcome approach !

In the traditional approach, our customers are bored to death by 1-way presentations & have a very short attention span, losing interest after the first 5 minutes & absorb not more than 25 % of the information presented in the session. There are no tangible take-always, more of a usual check mark activity meeting.

SAP S/4HANA ERP Digital Discovery Gamified Objective

Our goal is to add more smiles to our SAP S/4HANA customers by:

Simplify SAP S/4HANA Solution Discovery, team-based interactive learning
Easier SAP S/4HANA Business Value Identification, introduce value drivers, KPIs early in buying cycle
Tangible Customer S/4HANA Roadmap & Customer Value Map, key takeaways after the workshop
Improve Customer Relationship, promote teamwork, empathy & cross-collaboration with your customers

Questions to ask yourself? If your answer is YES, please continue reading our game blog:

Excellent job Saurabh! A truely innovative approach that customers (Ryan Specialty Group) love......

Saurabh_Choudhu · ‎2018 May 16

Thank you Bill. Hope we can roll this out for more customers in a programmatic approach.

former_member577015 · ‎2018 Sep 28

Thank you Saurabh. It's very impressive for me to understand. I have question. Did you do this Review/Discovery Cards Game Approach with your Customers during Preparation step of Roadmap? or Explore step?

Saurabh_Choudhu · ‎2019 Jan 11

Thank you Kyungmo, glad your liked it. The Cards game can be played in either phase & is flexible. The only pre-requisite being that the customer should have the LoB teams in place & resources assigned (preferable) so that inputs can be taken. The game can also be played only for the newly released scope items every quarter for education & awareness and initing deeper discussions. Use this to break the ice with your customers.

ChrisMahoney01 · ‎2019 Jun 12

Great job Saurabh - lots of hard work and creativity - can’t wait to see the potential of where this can go.

junaidalam · ‎2019 Jun 12

In my opinion this should be done in discover phase. Explore phase will be too late for this. Any suggestions.

Saurabh_Choudhu · ‎2019 Jun 18

Thank you Chris for being a great partner in this journey. Exciting times ahead of us, S/4HANA Cards Games Automation & Digitization Next !

Saurabh_Choudhu · ‎2019 Jun 18

Hi Junaid, yes you are right. We are seeing great pull from the customers & partners to use the game in the discovery phase for learning about the new innovations & check the relevancy of the capabilities at a high level. That being said, there are few existing customers who are also using the game in explore or later stages for re-evaluating their existing landscape & create innovation maps. We are pleasantly surprised to see multiple use cases driven by customers. Please let us know how your customers use the Cards game in their organization.
