openSAP Invites Podcast: Learn How SAP AppHaus Leads Innovation with Technology and Culture
Have you heard of openSAP before?
With launching openSAP in 2013, SAP created a free learning platform that provides knowledge shared first-hand by members of the SAP ecosystem, including SAP employees, partners, and customers. One format that allows listeners to learn more about interesting business or personal topics on the go is the new podcast series “openSAP Invites”. Hosted by Elisabeth Riemann, the podcast is all about interviewing thought leaders and instructors to uncover their own learning habits, discuss their courses, and ask them for additional learning recommendations. At the same time, the diverse selection of innovative topics helps to broaden listeners’ learning horizons and keep them inspired.
In episode 5 of the openSAP Invites podcast, Riemann’s guests were SAP AppHaus team members and Strategic Design Consultants Edda Mann and Matthias Langholz. They got the chance to introduce the SAP AppHaus as part of SAP Customer Innovation and talk about the importance of creative spaces that play an important role in their customer engagement as well as in their team office in Heidelberg (have a sneak-peak into the office via the virtual tour).
“The SAP AppHaus is a special place, it has a very unique energy and that can be attributed to the location itself but also to the team, as well as the passion and enthusiasm that everyone brings to that.”
— Elisabeth Riemann
What to expect?
Edda and Matthias are sharing interesting insights of their everyday work with customers and the challenges of furthering innovation from their home offices while working remotely. To overcome these difficulties for customers, as well as AppHaus team members, the SAP AppHaus actually digitalized the award-winning offerings and combined them into a virtual toolkit for collaboration.
Despite the importance of a technological and methodological framework that fosters innovation, the interview shows that an innovative mindset and SAP’s Human-Centered Approach to Innovation are key factors to make innovation real.
