Love counts
Revenue, profit, turnover rates, time-to-market—numbers provide security in uncertain times and are indispensable in our lives and companies.
Bosses (usually) love them, employees (usually) hate them, and financial officers, as guardians of the numbers, are caught in a volatile, fast-paced world between the desire for reliable information, “safe” forecasts, and the suspicion that half-truths and political games could undermine the credibility of “their” numbers.
How do you manage to identify decision-relevant information in this environment, communicate it clearly, and recognize the unwanted impacts reporting and planning can have? You will find out in “Love counts” the first relationship counseling for numbers and people.

The agricultural group BayWa switched to SAP S/4HANA and implemented SAP Central Finance as a central part of the changeover. The go-live of the switch to SAP S/4HANA was at the beginning of 2024. With the introduction of SAP S/4HANA, the Group replaced a very heterogeneous SAP R/3 system that was around 20 years old.
