SAP SuccessFactors Succession & Development – Mentoring
Optimize career development in your organization
Nearly all of us have experienced a valuable mentoring relationship in our lives. It can come from anyone in our personal or professional lives. Indra Noovi, CEO of PepsiCo for example shows how she has benefited from mentoring in her life:
"
If I hadn't had mentors, I wouldn't be here today. I'm a product of great mentoring, great coaching... Coaches or mentors are very important. They could be anyone--your husband, other family members, or your boss."
Indra credits the mentoring she received from people around her for helping her break glass ceilings in business.

Why Mentors Matter: A summary of 30 years of research in the blog from Lauren Pytel.

However developing and managing mentoring programs is complicated. Often times it involves matching mentors and mentees manually which can be time-consuming and inexact
