“The only antidote against uncertainty is clarity.”

Léo Apotheker, co-CEO, SAP

 

 

I just came back from SAPPHIRE in Orlando and wanted to touch on SAPs new messaging about “clarity.” In his opening keynote, Léo Apotheker discussed at length about how clarity into the enterprise is essential for companies to succeed in today’s new reality. With growing pressures on organizations across the globe to streamline operations and improve the bottom line, companies need to see clearly, think clearly and act clearly.

 

Reducing headcount may seem like an obvious way to save on costs, however cutting key talent could seriously impact your ability to deliver on business goals. To address the short-term economic challenges while at the same time remaining competitive and innovative in the long-term, it is imperative for companies to have in-depth insight into their workforce in order to make better-informed decisions.

 

Having clarity into your talent-related data will enable your HR Professionals to analyze the workforce and align talent to business objectives.  Developing and managing your talent will not only improve organizational performance, but will give your company a competitive advantage once the crisis ends.
