Blog It Forward Community Challenge

“Blog It Forward“ is a new and exciting blogging challenge on SCN. One blog will start a journey where you’ll get to know other SCN members like never before. We will read about their dreams, ambitions and what fascinates in the world of SAP. The Blog It Forward Chain will list all the blogs of the people who joined the challenge. There is only one thing that is essential for this to happen and that is you 🙂 .

You might have seen the “Pay it Forward” movie, where one kid starts a good deeds chain that impacts thousands of people in his community. Well, I believe that our “Blog It Forward” challenge can be the cyber version of the movie concept.

I will kick off the challenge by posting the first “Blog It Forward” (BIF) blog. I wrote this blog according to the template and guidelines provided below. The people that I will “Blog It Forward” to will pass the baton to their fellow community members (friends, colleagues, etc.). Their friends and their friends’ friends will do the same. This will create an amazing international web of people, stories and interesting perspectives of SAP topics.

Below you will find additional instructions and information on how to engage in the “Blog It Forward” Challenge. Feel free to be creative and innovative when you post. Any registered SCN member that was blogged forward to can join this challenge, even if she or he hasn’t blogged before.
