Recently departed SAP exec Shai Agassi is a fun person but you only ever get to see the extent of someone’s fun-ness after they’re unshackled from the corporate handcuffs. Here, Shai gives a flavour of the keynote he would have given if he’d stayed:
First of all let me comment on some comments I have been hearing recently – most of all about the new “back to basics†approach SAP should take. It is important, in my humble opinion, that SAP does not go back to anything – the path forward that the company had taken over the last 4 years was the right path, and if SAP needs anything at all it is acceleration not an about face.
There are plenty of people I know who would concur with that opinion. Tantalisingly, Shai proffers:
In the next few days I will dig deeper into each segment of these axis (his arguments), as you go through your real sapphire, you can read here your “virtual presentation†– hopefully they will match.
Ah-ha…the Virtual SAPPHIRE Unconference. OK. So while we’re in Blogger’s Corner, maybe we can get an IM going where Shai pops questions at the execs??
