Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

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.

– Key-user structure re-established in spring 2013
2. Mandatory use of the Sourcing module as of 1st June 2013
3. Not all buyers trained yet (40% in EMEA)
4. Lack of motivation and willingness amongst buyers
to switch from email based RFPs to Ariba
– Belief that email RFPs are easier & faster to manage
5. Difficulty for buyers to understand
Ariba Sourcing module benefits
6. Outsourcing of certain functions of the EMEA

Spend Visibility (Spring 2011: project start

29Ariba Live - Berlin June 2013
• Implementation lessons learnt: (½) Implementation
1. 3 different source systems
– Different data models
– 6060 active ERP suppliers (from all 3 ERPs)
– 1730 duplicate suppliers
– 1 of the data models requires a complex data extraction process
from 2 local source systems
2. Difficulties in understanding SSAB’s own ERP system
data model structure & finding the data to load to Ariba.
– Under-estimation regarding the time effort of IT resources’ involvement
– Naming of fields in ERP systems doesn’t necessarily match with Ariba’ SV fields.
3. Difficulties in identifying the invoice types that should be uploaded
to Ariba due to different invoice status types.
4. Original currency vs. SEK amount
– SV applies the uploaded SSAB daily exchange rates
to the original currency amounts, which calculates a SEK amount
that isn’t the SEK actual invoiced SEK amount reported in SSAB EMEA.
– Daily exchange rates vs. negotiated /secured exchange rates.

• Implementation lessons learnt (2/2) Implementation
5. Invoice commodity classification enrichment process
– Poor SSAB invoice data quality in ERPs
– (no SSAB internal commodity codes available, poor invoice description,
product information available randomly…)
– As per Ariba SLA only 90% of SSAB’s spend is to be enriched
but SSAB’s raw material spend accounts for ~ 60% of the EMEA spend.
– Complexity of the mapping process between SSAB’s data towards UNSPSC
» Mapping to the lowest UNSPSC / ACT level proved to be challenging
to find an equivalent in SSAB’s EMEA Commodity Code tree.
» SSAB EMEA decided to initiate a mapping from their internal commodity
classification towards UNSPSC and load this data additionally to the source system data.
(on-going)
6. 360 degree supplier view report
– Upstream supplier enrichment wasn’t part of the original SV scope of work
– Hence SV data wouldn’t show on the 360 degree view report
– Solved by displaying the data based on the global enriched ultimate
parent + upstream enrichment

SSAB - P2I Learning Points
• Learning and adjusting to a new process is better and can give
more benefits than customizations, more effective in the long
term perspective (maintenance etc.)
• Starting with a smaller scope is a good idea
A pre-study changed SSABs scope,
"smart” since there is a lot to learn about the system.
• Need for Ariba to have a clear vision to SSAB’s requirement of
the helicopter overview of the full Ariba integrated suite.
• Align upstream and downstream supplier registration process.

Ariba’s On Demand applications and the Network generate measurable value to organizationsBuyer’s experience significant savings that fall right to the bottom lineSome savings are obvious (see above) but others less so. For example, a large Oil company was able to significantly cut inventory of replacement parts in its refineries due to the visibility into order status the network provided. This visibility not only enabled the managers to focus on the operations instead of whether a critical shipment was going to come, but also enabled them to reduce the excess inventory they needed as safety stock to ensure the refinery didn’t go downSuppliers experience savings through the automation of non-value added activities (like AR clerks having to call their customers each month to see when payments will be made)Suppliers also see top line growth from participation on the network – including net new business and increased wallet share with existing customers
