Session Overview

ERP Couples Therapy: “Finance Speaks GAAP, IT Speaks Code Let’s Get Them Talking”
Let’s face it: Finance and IT have been stuck in a love-hate relationship since the dawn of ERP. One wants control, the other wants flexibility. One speaks in journal entries, the other in Java. Sound familiar?
Welcome to ERP Group Therapy, where we unpack the drama, decode the dysfunction, and finally get FI and IT talking like besties. This session dives into the hilarious misunderstandings, passive-aggressive ticketing, and “urgent” month-end requests that define this dynamic duo. But it’s not all venting, we’ll explore how SAP (especially S/4 HANA) can be the couples counselor that brings harmony, transparency, and a little joy to your enterprise.
Expect laughs, real talk, and practical takeaways to help your teams stop ghosting each other and start collaborating like true BFFs.
Because when FI and IT are aligned, magic happens, and your ERP stops feeling like group therapy.
Three Tangible Learnings
  1. FI and IT aren’t broken; they’re Just Speaking Different Languages.
  2. SAP Can Be Your Relationship Counselor
  3. Pick One Manual Process and Automate It Together

 

STOP Analysis Paralysis: Your ERP Transformation Doesn’t Need Another Meeting
Let’s be honest: If your ERP project had a couch, it would be lying on it right now, overthinking everything and stress-eating budget dollars. It’s time to stop diagnosing and start doing.
If your transformation plan has more versions than your chart of accounts, it’s time for an intervention.
This session is your ERP reality check with a side of humor and a shot of urgency. We’ll show you what you can do RIGHT NOW in your current ERP system to accelerate your transformation to S/4 HANA, boost adoption, and start delivering Quick Wins NOW (instead of just lovely slide decks). Learn the steps to move from “we should really start” to “look what we just did!”
No fluff. No fear. Just fast wins and fierce momentum. Whether you’re stuck in planning purgatory or just afraid to commit, this session will give you the confidence (and the checklist) to start your transformation TOMORROW.
Because the only thing worse than a failed ERP project… is one that never started.
Three Tangible Learnings
  1. Slide Decks Don’t Transform Businesses, Actions Do.
  2. Do This Tomorrow: Pick One Business Process and Run a Fit-to-Standard Review.
  3. Your ERP Doesn’t Need Another Workshop. It Needs a To-Do List.
