Where Are The Chiefs?
In this podcast we dive into one of the main differences between Employee Central and SAP HCM - the lack of 'chief' positions in EC. If you're not replicating the EC org structure to SAP HCM then this is no big deal - but for those who are, it's a bit of a change in thinking. And processes. And probably old code that assumes there is a chief position. We go through all this and a bit more - enjoy!
Our Favorite H2 2022 Features
A lot has been said and shared about the SuccessFactors H2 2022 release features. So ... these are a few of our favorite things. Not everything of course, you can see that via the What's New Viewer.
And since this is also the end of the year, special mentions go out to all the payroll teams as they review and evaluate all the year-end compliance changes coming along with - or roughly with - the H2 2022 release. For US teams, check out the US year-end blog, and everyone can see the legal changes by country (S-user required).
How to Achieve More Effective SAP SuccessFactors Projects
How you implement SAP SuccessFactors is critical to achieving the value you want from the project. What can you do to get more value from your project then? We share our tips and advice learned over many years of doing these types of projects. A lot of it comes down to properly resourcing your project for the goals you have in mind - sounds easy but it's one of the most common mistakes made because it is difficult and often overlooked. But that's not all - join Steve Bogner, Brandon Toombs and Becky Murray to learn more. For all the details on the podcast see our home at insightcp.com/insights
Perspectives (Rants) on SAP SuccessFactors Core Hybrid
We will blame Brandon Toombs for this one - he wrote a great blog about his experiences with SAP SuccessFactors Core-Hybrid implementation challenges. Steve Bogner, Chris Paine and Luke Marson engaged with it on Twitter and decided we had enough content for a decent (we hope) podcast. So here we are - our experiences (good and bad) with Core-Hybrid implementations, and a bit more. Enjoy! Or not.
This is also our first attempt at posting the video of the podcast - available on Spotify and on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMXmLCRp3RY . Audio for now everywhere else.
Here's Brandon's blog: https://blogs.sap.com/2022/10/05/a-core-principle-for-sap-successfactors-core-hybrid/

Worst Practices in SAP SuccessFactors Projects
We've all heard of Best Practices, but it is almost more fun to talk about Worst Practices. So in this podcast we do that - what are some of the bad practices we see in SAP SuccessFactors projects? What are those things that you shouldn't do, but just seem to keep coming up? Honestly we could have kept going on for quite a while on this one.... More at insightcp.com/insights
Core/Hybrid vs EC/ECP - Which Way Is Right For You?
We debate the merits of Core/Hybrid and EC/ECP, and a few places in-between the two. And typically as consultants our answer is - It depends. Really, it does depend on where you are, where you want to go, what are your priorities, what are your resources and risk profile and more. The good thing is that SAP is providing customers options to tailor their approach to the cloud and to new platforms. The bad news is, well, you have to make some choices. Join Steve Bogner, Becky Murray, Sven Ringling and Brandon Toombs for this informative, satisfying and entertaining podcast about a topic so close and important to SAP SuccessFactors customers. If it was any better we'd have to start billing for it. Enjoy!
