Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

A typical customer situation
Data Model Simplification System Landscape Simplification Business Process Simplification UX Improvement
Current Process
• Plenty of operative entities & branches with a huge number of activities per closing entity
• Significant transaction volume at month end and time-intensive posting cycles for mass data
processes (e.g. order settlements, deferrals, accruals, assessments)
• Significant effort for internal (non legal) booking to reflect special ledger cases
• Many interim steps for the reconciliation of data
• Little transparency into local closing activities and their dependencies
With SAP Simple Finance
• Shorten process time and effort due to real-time data availability because of
• significantly reduced run time of reports
• automation and elimination of batch processes
• Eliminationofclosing activities (such as FI-CO reconciliation, periodic asset transfers)
• Increasedefficiency of finance activities due to drill down from report to corresponding
transactions without distraction.
• Better alignment and reduction of iterations due to increased visibility into the progress of
local closing activities
• Increased accuracy due to automated quality checks

40. Process Issues Process Issues –Cont’d
• financial consolidation process (SAP SEM- BCS) and lack of
Matrix Consolidation (combination of Profit Center &
Company Code)
• No Restatement functionality
• Local closing and Group /Corporate Closing process issues
and Multi period Consolidation
• Status Reporting in BI
• Held and Sample Documents with in the consolidation
process
• Database list improvements required
• Current Data Collection process is very slow and manual
layouts and manual file uploads in the Consolidation
application
• There is no Status Management
• There is Workflow Approval for status change in the financial
consolidation monitor
• Deferred Taxes per Balance sheet item
• Current BCS 6.0 do not IPI_enhancement ( Profit Elimination
)
• Parallel execution of consolidation unit based task
• Current System do not have multiple versions to support
IFRS Consolidation and Local country consolidation
• Too many spreadsheets and systems involved in the S&OP
process
• Too hard to simulate and compare planning scenarios
• Hyperion Planning
• Manual Planning
• Legacy tools and custom tools,
• There is no real time comparison between AOP, FCST vs
Actual versions
• Master data governance issues
• No ERP direct integration
41. Transformation – F&A Innovations
• SAP Accelerated Finance & Controlling
– Financial Accounting
• accelerated and enhanced reporting and analysis for Classic/new General
Ledger and Special Ledger, Profit-Center and Asset Accounting
– Controlling
• accelerated and enhanced reporting and monitoring for overhead
management information (cost centers / internal orders) and investment
programs. Accelerated overhead and accrual calculation enables a faster
period end closing in this area.
– Material Ledger
• Material Ledger Period End Closing and provides an ERP based drill down
reporting for Material Ledger; Business Object tools like Analysis can
directly access material ledger data through an Virtual Info Provider
– Production Cost Analysis
• new insights into where the production costs are incurred and what
issues are affecting these costs.
– Profitability Analysis
• Make faster, more profitable decisions with real-time access to large
volumes of financial data in the profitability analysis (CO-PA) functionality
of the SAP ERP application.
• The profitability analysis software and service package give you complete
and immediate insight into cost and profit drivers across your enterprise.
• SAP HANA Live – some key analytics
– SAP Working Capital Analytics, DSO Scope
• allows the customer to optimize their cash conversion cycle
• flexible analysis paths that provides a new, intuitive and easy to use way
to analyze data.
• Calculating based on data details allows for drilldown e.g. by customer,
product or payment terms
– SAP Invoice and Goods Receipt Reconciliation
• The GR/IR Clearing Monitor is targeted to make the manual process of
matching and correcting goods receipts and invoice receipts for financial
accountants easier and more efficient
– Currently unmatched open items require financial accountant to jump around
between 5 and more different transactions in the system in order to find the reason,
why it was not cleared.
– The GR/IR Clearing Monitor provides all required information on ONE SINGLE screen.
Additionally, it offers possibilities for collaboration by providing access to contact
information for relevant involved parties in the resolution process and the
opportunity to track the progress with notes and status information.
– SAP Supply Chain Info Center
• New analytics for operational real time reporting based on APO data
• Best practice analytical capabilities based on demand and supply planning
data that will be augmented with future versions of the application
– SAP Access Control Role Analytics
– Scanning all roles SAP-wide for used transactions thus finding potential unused and
unsafe role and access across app view for access compliance, risk and internal
controls
– Access role mining & enables root cause analysis
Deploy SAP RTR and OTCs like SAP Financials and HANA Live
