You are an early-career, mid-career specialist or senior expert SAP practitioner, with strong SAP expertise, yet stagnating in your SAP career, feeling lost and wondering what you are missing and how to get ahead. Below are a few of the many examples of concerns most SAP practitioners have:

Arun, I am an SAP manager with expertise in SAP BTP and 18 years of experience. I have ticked all check boxes consistently for the past 4 years. However, my promotion is eluding! I am not sure how to get ahead.
I am a senior SAP ABAP on HANA developer, and I would like to play an Architect role. How do I go about doing that?
I am an SAP MM functional consultant who joined here from the university a year ago and trained on SAP MM. I am not being considered for projects, and it is frustrating for me. How do I get into a project?
Arun, a lot is being spoken about AI for SAP. How is it relevant to my role and daily work? What skills do I need to pick up to ensure I am future-ready?
You may be saying, “Arun, my work should speak for itself,” or “As I keep doing good work, I expect my career to grow automatically,” or if you are frustrated, “Arun, promotions are given to people closer to bosses!”
If any of the above resonates with you or your situation, this book is for you.
This practical guide will help you with the clarity, direction and tools to help accelerate and transform your career.
