In today's fast-paced business environment, staying ahead requires not just innovation but a keen understanding of operational processes, technology, and adaptable operating models.

On Thursday 12th September 2024, Dr Andreas Eckert, Global HR Advisor, and Klaus Kampen, SAP’s Business Architect for HR Innovation and Transformation, delved into the potential impact and opportunities for your HR operating model through the implementation of SAP SuccessFactors. 

For us at SAP, success is when customers actually realize the value that they expect from their investment in our solutions. But obviously value doesn't realize itself. A solution itself doesn't provide you with the value. It's important to design the processes that actually drive the system configuration, with some principles in mind on how they best perform the best in your specific context. 

Important processes though, are not only just things that happen along a chain of a chain of events. Processes also include the actors that are actively contributing and doing tasks along these processes. So the operating model of HR informs and must inform the process design. And this is where the concept of SAP’s leading practices comes in.

SAP SuccessFactors has a number of leading practices across all solution areas that actually encapsulate and condensate consulting experience and combine that with product development and design principles to inform process design to inform the operating model duties and help move forward. 

The webinar focussed on the 1st building block out of the critical steps chain that need to be taken to arrive to the point of value:
