Think Tanks con­nect you with peers nav­i­gat­ing the same chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties as you. ASUG will facil­i­tate an inter­ac­tive peer-to-peer exchange where solu­tions are shared for top­ics spe­cif­ic to your role and interest.

This is a chance to share best prac­tices, com­pare notes, and learn about how your fel­low ASUG mem­bers are plan­ning to adapt to the post-COVID retail envi­ron­ment. Will con­sumers flock to brick and mor­tar? Is an e‑commerce econ­o­my a giv­en at this point? How have sup­ply chains and man­u­fac­tur­ing adapt­ed to these changes? 

Let’s talk through one of the most chal­leng­ing evo­lu­tions of retail to help every­one brain­storm and share in a safe space facil­i­tat­ed by ASUG and SAP. Nobody has the answers at this point, but bring ques­tions and an open mind.

• Brief wel­come and kick­off from ASUG

Think Tank Insights: 

• Most suc­cess­ful mod­el for change is quick iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of prob­lem (a few weeks) fol­lowed by a 3‑month ​“epic”. 

• Speed is great­est fac­tor of suc­cess with e‑commerce dig­i­tal transformation 

• Fore­cast­ing post COVID-19 is tricky, as online shop­ping pat­terns have become dif­fi­cult to pre­dict, with wide­spread wfh 

• Biggest tran­si­tion has been in sup­ply chain and logistics.
