Welcome to a new way of thinking about SAP implementations—where exploration, creativity, and empowerment come together to transform challenges into opportunities.
’m Isard Haasakker, author of Make F.I.T. Your Purpose and the driving force behind No Tie Generation Limited. My book was written with SAP in mind, reflecting my 25+ years of experience navigating the intricate world of ERP systems. But while the concepts were developed long before AI was in the public eye, the principles of the Fast Implementation Track (F.I.T.) remain just as relevant today—perhaps even more so.
What My Book is About
In Make F.I.T. Your Purpose, I introduce the Fast Implementation Track—a method that combines the structured approach of waterfall project management with the adaptability of agile. This hybrid approach ensures that your SAP deployment is not only efficient but also timely, cost-effective, and tailored to your specific business needs.
The book explores how to overcome the common pitfalls of SAP implementations, particularly with SAP S/4 HANA, the latest evolution of SAP’s ERP suite. While S/4 HANA offers unmatched scalability, flexibility, speed, and security, implementation projects are often fraught with challenges. According to McKinsey, nearly half of such projects fail to meet their time and budget goals.
Make F.I.T. Your Purpose provides strategies to change this narrative by:
– Focusing on essential business processes.
– Making tough decisions early to avoid delays.
– Simplifying implementations to ensure success.
Why the Book Still Matters Today
The ideas in my book were conceived in a world where AI wasn’t yet at the forefront, but its principles align perfectly with how AI can now enhance SAP projects. For example:
Efficiency
Just as the F.I.T. methodology focuses on cutting through complexity, AI tools like the Universal AI Prompt make it easier to create critical project deliverables like business blueprints, test scripts, and training materials.
Adaptability
AI complements the flexibility of agile methodologies, enabling faster adjustments to project changes.
Whether or not you work with SAP, the lessons in Make F.I.T. Your Purpose are universal: simplifying processes, focusing on what truly matters, and embracing tools that empower you to succeed.
How My Perspective is Different
I’m not just another SAP consultant. My approach is rooted in the belief that:
Empowerment is Key
My goal is to make myself obsolete by equipping you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to succeed independently.
Collaboration Fuels Innovation
My methods emphasize independent advice and prioritizing your long-term success.
AI as an Extension of SAP Expertise
While SAP is my foundation, my fascination with AI represents a natural evolution of my work. Tools like the Universal AI Prompt embody the same ethos as the F.I.T. methodology—empowering users to work smarter and achieve more.
Who Will Benefit From This Book?
If you work in the SAP ecosystem, Make F.I.T. Your Purpose is a must-read for:
– Leaders seeking better ways to deploy SAP S/4 HANA.
– Project managers looking to simplify complex implementations.
– Anyone tired of the traditional SAP pitch and ready for a fresh perspective.
Even if you’re not in SAP, the principles of the F.I.T. methodology—efficiency, adaptability, and empowerment—are applicable to any industry or project.
A Bridge Between the Past and the Future
Make F.I.T. Your Purpose reflects my years of experience as an SAP consultant, but it also aligns with my belief that AI can make us more human. The same principles that drive successful SAP projects—simplification, focus, and adaptability—are what make AI tools like the Universal AI Prompt so powerful.
