The HR Executive recap from SAP Connect made a solid point: skills are the new supply chain. That’s not a slogan... it’s a reality for anyone managing a large, distributed workforce. The harder part isn’t identifying the gaps; it’s keeping up with how fast they move. That’s where platforms like SAP SuccessFactors make a real difference. When your systems can map skills dynamically across functions, locations, and roles, you can plan ahead instead of reacting. It’s about knowing which capabilities are growing, which are at risk, and where to focus development before it becomes a hiring problem. Technology doesn’t replace judgment, it gives you the visibility to make better calls, faster. #SAPSuccessFactors #FutureOfWork #PeopleDevelopment

Tip: When creating master data for SKUs, always include a prefix that indicates the category it belongs to, followed by a code number and the item name. This helps in easily identifying the SKU’s category and distinguishing it from non-SKU items.

At P&G, technology isn't just a supporting function—it's a strategic enabler for growth, innovation, and consumer satisfaction. We're maniacally focused on understanding the wants and needs of the consumer, and technology is how we deliver on that promise. Earlier this summer, I had a fantastic conversation with Peter High on his Technovation podcast. We dove deep into how P&G is leveraging technology like AI, automation and data analytics to improve our operations, elevate consumer experiences, and create greater efficiencies. A few of the key highlights from our conversation: +Data-Driven Innovation: Our AI Factory integrates data across the value chain, enabling faster problem-solving and smarter decision-making. In Brazil, AI improved P&G’s out-of-stock rates by 15 percentage points – a game-changer in our industry! +End-to-End Supply Chain Visibility: With tools like our Pampers Club app, we’re able to ensure that consumers have the essentials they need. +Upskilling for Digital Fluency: We’re investing in workforce training through partnerships with Harvard Business School and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to ensure everyone can leverage new digital tools like AI effectively. +AI as a Workforce Enabler: We are using AI as a facilitator of productivity to help employees focus on higher value tasks and initiatives. Leveraging AI across the business enhances efficiency and scales operations without burnout. +A Bright Future Ahead: I’m excited about the potential of reasoning models and agentic AI, which have the potential to eliminate dashboards by allowing us to “talk to the data.” Quantum computing offers the potential to optimize supply chains and operations at unprecedented levels.   #PGInnovation is truly transforming how we operate and deliver value, always with the consumer at the center. I'm excited about the continued impact we'll drive in our industry. Ready to hear more about how we're leveraging technology to innovate? Listen to my full conversation with Peter here: https://lnkd.in/gPnKhP3D
