View speaker profile →AI is changing more than how work gets done. It is reshaping how organizations operate, make decisions, and create competitive advantage. For SAP leaders, this shift comes at a pivotal moment as organizations modernize the systems, data, and processes at the core of their business.
This keynote explores what it means to move beyond AI experimentation toward an enterprise where people and AI agents work together across business processes. We’ll examine why an organization’s unique combination of data, expertise, relationships, and ways of working will become a critical source of differentiation, and why connecting that intelligence across SAP and the broader enterprise is essential to realizing AI’s full potential.
Attendees will leave with a perspective on how to approach this next era of SAP transformation: building the trusted data and governance foundations for agentic AI, identifying where intelligence can create meaningful business advantage, and moving from isolated AI use cases toward measurable, repeatable transformation
