Assessment center - group exercise 1

Material for Astha

• This is your briefing material for the group exercise. The first slide states the general case you should work
on together with the other candidates. This slide is shared with everyone.
• From the sales pitch, I attached the slide for the roadmap, which represents our general approach.
The customer has already decided to use SAP Signavio and acquired the necessary licenses.
• I heard that the owner and CEO himself wants to act as a sponsor for the project. Top management support
is in general good. Experience has shown that he has very limited time to get involved regularly, though.

Assessment center - group exercise
Dear team,
please prepare the first draft of kick-off slides with agenda and the most important topics we will
discuss with our new client Ursapharm. I will be available later today for a short briefing session. The
kick-off takes place next week Monday afternoon, thus enough time for beautifying slides. However,
there will be a short alignment session with the project manager from the customer side tomorrow
afternoon.
The customer’s expectation is that we have based on Business Flows already a structure to discuss
their operating models and business drivers and derive main E2E scenarios. For production and
warehousing as well as the German commercial operations, Ursapharm uses already SAP ECC. The
other countries seem to have some legacy systems.
Here are some hints:
• As a team you should have access to most of the relevant information
• Provide the structure for the kick-off and the story line (red thread) throughout the presentation
• Prepare to use my time wisely
• List questions you need to ask the customer’s project manager to get the necessary insights and to
verify assumptions
• There are observes in the room, but those are also experienced colleagues aware of our
methodology and tolls
Many thanks for supporting my life balance and good luck,
Markus
