The Business Opportunities of a Digitally Transformed Economy (openSAP)

Join this free online course to learn how to lead your company towards a digitally transformed economy and make it more resilient, profitable, and sustainable. Since our first openSAP course on digital transformation and its impact in 2015, the world has changed even more than we could have imagined. Many businesses have already started their journey towards a digitally transformed economy, while others are just starting out. There are many catalysts of change which challenge companies to reconsider their traditional business models, and in 2020 there are even more than expected.

Given the unprecedented pace of change we’ve experienced in the last 5 years, we’d like to share the latest trends, industry examples, predictions, and best practices with you.

This nutshell course will give you food for thought on how you can make your company more resilient, profitable, and sustainable. After sharing the bigger picture of the digitally transformed economy, we’ll focus on “drivers of change” that accelerate business transformation and then discuss the “value lever model”, which helps to identify and optimize areas that make your business more profitable.
Sven Denecken and Bert Schulze will once again be your hosts, joined by Corina Kinzel from SAP and Professor Marek Kowalkiewicz, Director at the QUT University (Brisbane Australia), who will share his perspective on the economy of algorithms and the characteristics of resilient businesses. Also presenting the course is Jan Waals from Deloitte LLP, a recognized global leader in digital transformation, who will share first-hand customer experiences with you.
