  • Prioritizing Security and Efficiency: No Longer Either/Or!
    2022/01/17
    The Buzz 1: “Amateurs hack systems, professionals hack people.” (Bruce Schneier, cryptographer, computer security professional, privacy specialist) The Buzz 2: “If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked. What’s more, you deserve to be hacked.” (Richard Clarke, novelist, former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection and Counter-terrorism ) The Buzz 3: “If you think you know-it-all about cybersecurity, this discipline was probably ill-explained to you.” (Stéphane Nappo, Global Head of Information Security, Société Générale International Banking) The Buzz 4: “My message to companies that think they haven’t been attacked is: ‘You’re not looking hard enough.’” (James Snook, Deputy Director, Office for Cyber Security and Information Assurance) The Buzz 5: “No technology that’s connected to the Internet is unhackable.” (Abhijit Naskar, author, The Art of Neuroscience in Everything) To unlock the power of the company’s data, many business technology implementations focus on optimizing business processes. That focus can sometimes lead to prioritizing efficiency at the expense of security. Reality check: No company can afford to be lax in security in today’s world with both internal and external cybersecurity threats. What to do? It’s time to re-imagine risk and compliance. Simplifying and embedding controls within systems and transactions and gaining early – and even predictive – insight into anomalies and potential risks can help you achieve security in an evolving risk landscape. Security not only delivers increased efficiency, but an overall better user experience by protecting processes, data, identities and financials. We’ll ask Gabriele Fiata at SAP and Pete Hobson at PwC to share their expert insights on Prioritizing Security and Efficiency: No Longer Either/Or!

  • Grocery Retail Pioneers: Shaping Tomorrow's Customer Experience
    2021/12/10
    The Buzz 1: “Everybody eats – the act of buying food will never go away – but how we buy food will certainly evolve…” (forbes.com) The Buzz 2: “In The Future Market – It’s possible, of course, that physical grocery stores might not even exist in 50 years.” (fastcompany.com) The Buzz 3: “I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was locking the front door. I said, 'Hey, the sign says you're open 24 hours.' He said, 'Yes, but not in a row.’ (comedian Steven Wright) The Grocery industry is in the midst of an intense, prolonged period of transformation. Yet emerging from this change is a once-in-a-generation chance to leap forward – for grocers to not just overcome today’s challenges, but to fundamentally reimagine the role they play in customers’ lives as they head into tomorrow. For years, grocers’ attention was mainly focused on making their stores visually appealing. Then, literally overnight, in Spring 2020 that changed – suddenly shifting to making a smooth online customer experience indispensable. Grocers are forced to find innovative ways to merge online and in-person experiences into new forms of seamless shopping. Today, retailers find themselves competing with chains, specialty stores, local farmers and markets on a scale never seen before. Reality check: Today’s connected customers have more grocery choices than ever — and they know it. Good news: With change comes opportunity. Grocers need to be willing to take risks that previously would have caused ‘indigestion’ in the boardroom. They need to seize opportunities to build resiliency into supply chains and networks, to turn last mile delivery into a margin-boosting differentiator and to be far more customer-centric. We’ll ask Capgemini’s John Waymire and SAP’s Randy Evins for their take on Retail Pioneers in Grocery Shaping the Customer Experience of Tomorrow.

  • Closing the Cloud ROI Gap Through HXM
    2021/12/02
    The Buzz 1: “Great companies are like beautiful clocks; they’ve got a lot of moving parts that all have to work together in order for the whole to be successful.” (Donna Peeples, CEO of Motivated, Inc.) The Buzz 2: “Cloud is rapidly becoming a business imperative, and there’s the danger of a “digital divide” emerging between organizations that understand the power of cloud and how it affects talent across the organization — and those that do not…CHROs may also need to develop an upskilling for cloud strategy to help their existing workforce.” (www.pwc.com) The numbers are indisputable. A PwC survey of 524 US executives and business leaders in May 2021 found a 92% cloud adoption rate. But just 53 percent are seeing significant value from their cloud investments. What’s holding executives back from maximizing their cloud ROI investment? When optimizing business processes, it is key to realize the importance of the human factor in the outcome and success of business transformation. 79% of the surveyed CEOs are concerned about availability of key skills among their employees. And while the CIOs are looking at the overall investment in technology and quick implementation of digital transformation, 68% of the CFOs are reporting that crisis-driven transitions to remote work will boost long-term efficiency and lead to cost reductions. The answer to the ROI question may fall to the CHRO. Connecting the technology to your people and process is instrumental in a truly intelligent enterprise. We’ll ask John McCormick at PwC, and Nick Holmes and Mohamed Yusuf at SAP for their take on the vital issue of rapid cloud adoption and the role of HXM, on Closing the Cloud ROI Gap Through HXM.
