Welcome! You’re about to discover a new way of tackling SAP projects. In this approach, we turn challenges into opportunities by exploring new ideas, getting creative, and empowering everyone involved.
Hi, I’m Isard Haasakker. I’m the author of Make F.I.T. Your Purpose and the founder of No Tie Generation. I wrote this book with SAP in mind, drawing on over 25 years of experience in the world of SAP and big business systems. I created the Fast Implementation Track (F.I.T.) method long before AI was a big deal. But here’s the cool part: the core ideas of F.I.T. are just as powerful today — maybe even more so, now that AI is in the mix!
What My Book is About
In Make F.I.T. Your Purpose, I share the Fast Implementation Track (F.I.T.) method. It’s a blend of two project styles: the step-by-step planning of “waterfall” and the quick, flexible approach of “agile.” This hybrid method means your SAP project can run efficiently and smoothly. It stays on schedule, stays on budget, and fits your business’s real needs.
The book also tackles the common pitfalls of SAP implementations, especially with SAP’s latest system, S/4 HANA. S/4 HANA is powerful – it’s fast, flexible, and secure. But even with all that power, implementing it can be tough. In fact, studies (like one by McKinsey) show that nearly half of big SAP projects end up running late or over budget.
Make F.I.T. Your Purpose shows how to beat those odds and change that story by:
– Focusing on what matters most: zero in on the most essential business processes.
– Making the hard calls early: make tough decisions at the start so you won’t hit delays later.
– Keeping things simple: simplify the project wherever you can so it succeeds instead of getting bogged down.
Why the Book Still Matters Today
I first developed the F.I.T. method before AI was everywhere. But it turns out F.I.T. aligns perfectly with how we use AI now. For example:
Efficiency
F.I.T. is all about cutting through complexity. In the same way, AI tools (like my Universal AI Prompt) help you quickly create important project documents – like blueprints, test scripts, and training guides. Work gets done faster and more clearly, letting you work smarter, not harder.
Adaptability
F.I.T. values being flexible when things change. AI is great at that too. It helps you adjust on the fly when your project needs a new direction or a quick fix, instead of sticking to a rigid plan.
And remember, these lessons aren’t just for SAP. The ideas in Make F.I.T. Your Purpose are universal. It’s about simplifying processes, focusing on what really matters, and using tools that empower you to succeed. That applies to any project or industry, whether or not you work with SAP.
How My Perspective is Different
I’m not your typical SAP consultant (no stuffy suit-and-tie here). I do things differently because I believe in a few core principles:
Empowerment is Key
My goal is to make myself unnecessary by giving you the knowledge and confidence to do it yourself. I want you to succeed on your own terms, even if that means you won’t need me anymore!
Collaboration Fuels Innovation
I believe in working with you, not just for you. I’m an independent ally focused on your long-term success. When we work together and share ideas openly, we spark better solutions.
AI is the next step
SAP is my home base, but I’m excited about what AI can do as a natural next step. Tools like the Universal AI Prompt follow the same ethos as F.I.T.—helping you work smarter so you can achieve more. I see AI not as a threat, but as an extension of our expertise.

Who Will Benefit From This Book?
If you’re in the SAP world, Make F.I.T. Your Purpose is going to be super helpful. It’s perfect for:
– SAP leaders who want a better way to roll out SAP S/4 HANA (the newest SAP platform).
– Project managers who need to simplify and tame complex SAP implementations.
– Trailblazers who are tired of the same old SAP pitch and ready for a fresh perspective.
Even if SAP isn’t your thing, don’t worry. The core ideas of the F.I.T. method — being efficient, staying flexible, and empowering your team — can help you in any field. Whether you’re managing a software project, a business initiative, or anything else, these principles apply to making any project run better.
A Bridge Between the Past and the Future
Make F.I.T. Your Purpose is like a bridge between old-school SAP and the new world of AI. It comes from my years of SAP experience, but it also carries my belief that AI can make us more human at work. Think about it: the things that make an SAP project successful – keeping it simple, staying focused, and being ready to adapt – are the same things that make AI tools so powerful. (That’s one reason I love the Universal AI Prompt: it follows these principles too.)
If you’re curious about how SAP and AI can team up, or how AI might change your work even outside of SAP, this book is a great starting point. I’ll be exploring these ideas further in my newsletters, so the book will help you stay in the loop and be a part of the conversation.
