Vantaggi
Significant opportunities to learn, with an innovation direction and strong technical innovation capability. CEO is inspiring but not humble.
Svantaggi
Archaic leadership culture, no real sense of what makes a good people leader- this is the major area of focus needed by SAP. Still quite hierarchical, with many old school autocratic leaders lacking vision but excessively busy with tactical actions. Lots of talk about the future of work and new structures but in action used a 30 yr ok approach to reorganizing instead of innovating how to do this humanly - could have been a think tanked opportunity to demonstrate real leadership and done it differently. What a missed opportunity! Too many reorganization allow mediocre leaders with a new boss each year to be overlooked in their lack of real contribution.
