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.

The Mill Prod­ucts and Min­ing Think Tank invites you to wrap up the year in an open forum, look­ing back at 2020 and think­ing on how to make 2021 a success. 

The for­mat for Tues­day, Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. ET/2 p.m. CT will include: 

• Brief wel­come and kick­off from ASUG 
• Dis­cus­sion led by ASUG mem­bers Olivi­er Durif from New­mont and San­jay Sri­vas­ta­va from Ever­green Packaging 

We will review the past 2020 ses­sions, focus­ing on: 

• What worked well 
• Sug­ges­tions for improvement 
• Key indus­try trends 

Gain vis­i­bil­i­ty into the chal­lenges and suc­cess­es oth­er SAP cus­tomers are expe­ri­enc­ing, and acquire new ideas for real-world solutions. 

If you are expe­ri­enc­ing chal­lenges and would like to lead your own case study, fill out the sur­vey here. 

Think Tank Insights:

• Hav­ing an event to go over pit­falls to avoid and best prac­tices from the indus­try, in 2021. 
• Jim But­tjer: Data/​MDG is some­thing that is under­ap­pre­ci­at­ed, often, it is my rec­om­men­da­tion to get ahead of this. 
• There are tools out there to not only help with a one-time data rec­on­cil­i­a­tion effort, but also ongo­ing efforts – Chain SYS has one solu­tion. The abil­i­ty to see the rela­tion­ships is key here, and you can see that impact on the rela­tion­ships with every­thing else that mate­r­i­al is involved with. You don’t have to have a plat­form to nec­es­sar­i­ly do this, but it def­i­nite­ly makes it eas­i­er, so that is my rec­om­men­da­tion for those of you look­ing into this to check out. 
• Data is a key top­ic that we will focus events on in 2021 as well as SAP roadmaps. 
  • Look out for a Feb. 3 ses­sion with the Cal­gary and British Colum­bia (Van­cou­ver) chap­ters from Nutrien on Cen­tral Finance.
