SAP Top Management Lessons Learned
Human-Centred Leadership in SAP S/4HANA Programmes
Human-centred leadership is the differentiator in major SAP S/4HANA programmes and influences lasting results. Motivation does not come from visibility alone but from sound working conditions, recognition and active support. Do not confuse visible scepticism with opposition - treat early concerns as valuable signals to be investigated. Top management should avoid the ivory tower perception by being accessible, empathic and decision-focused. Support teams with clear priorities, training and realistic timelines to sustain performance under pressure. Design incentives, time commitments and governance so leaders can sponsor change without micromanaging delivery. Use regular, concise updates to translate technical choices into business trade-offs and expected value. Build routines for learning, feedback and celebration to reinforce new behaviours and recognise contributors. Treat constructive dissent as insight and create safe escalation channels that accelerate corrective action.
