Title:[edit | edit source]

Using alignment with business priorities and objectives to gain management buy-in across the enterprise.

Description:[edit | edit source]

As the enterprise business software leader, SAP (35,000 employees) has sophisticated technology which enables alignment of the operations across an entire company. However, even though the business operations are aligned inside SAP, the training functions are very silo'ed. So, to find a way to integrate the various infrastructures and processes, while also leveraging technology and staying in alignment with the overall business priorites, SAP created an enterprise-wide learning council. The membership includes senior business managers from each of the various lines of business. blah, blah, blah...
