On 22 October 2014, two students got the unique chance to accompany COO SAP Austria Gerhard Zeiner through a day of knowledge sharing and exciting appointments.
During the day they received information about the company, the product portfolio as well as innovation and creative working at SAP, joined appointments with prospective customers and visited the pitch for SAP's social start-up program "Social Impact Start" at Impact Hub Vienna.
Gerhard Zeiner concludes: "We had the chance to draw and establish a new picture of SAP in the shadowees' minds and to communicate it in a very personal way. The personal value for me was a helpful reflection about myself, what I am responsible for, what I do, how I get things done and what is special about it, in particular answering the students' questions. Our three main topics were innovation, creative working and networking, both internally and externally.”
