Managing Director

Mr. Götte is an Associate Principal Partner. As a top manager, he focuses on SAP company start-ups (franchising), software, service and corporate trading (SAP Store), product and organizational development, communication and scaling strategies (outsourcing, recruiting, PR, branding, marketing and sales solutions) in the SAP service industry as well as strategy consulting and SAP project management regarding post-merger company integrations or the digital transformation of SAP user companies within the industry.

He has outstanding expertise in the SAP production and logistics environment. Since 2004, he has developed a deep, interdisciplinary understanding of business processes, SAP systems and modules and has taken on a variety of strategic and operational roles – from software development to management consulting, test management and S/4HANA project management to leadership and entrepreneurial positions.

Skillset 4.0 – Human-AI Symbiosis

His ability to look at complex issues from different perspectives, to think in various time horizons and in overarching contexts, creates the framework for emergent solutions and synergies that generate sustainable added value.

His multiple talents in the creative, strategic-systematic, meta-cognitive, multidisciplinary, linguistic-aesthetic, intuitive, social and emotional areas make Mr. Götte – in conjunction with his knowledge solutions and AI – the leading visionary on the global market. With its help, you can overcome unconscious incompetence within the organization and acquire reproducible intelligence.

Evidence of Performance – Verifiable Results

The eleven companies he has developed (even some market leaders), innovative software solutions and optimized service models set new standards in terms of cost efficiency, effectiveness and quality. These underline his cross-company quality and cost awareness, his ability to optimize processes through systems and a service organization and to combine mutually supporting individual parts (synergies and emergence). The result is the maximum utilization of available resources.

There are solutions for project management (digital PM-Guide), project implementation (Info-Cubes und SAP KI system and module Consultants), change management (system demos), training (academy & KI-trainer), personnel recruitment (transparency & planability) including various outsourcing service models (systematics & contacts) and a comprehensive media and communications network for networking and sales promotion (34 magazines, 87 social media accounts, store, various newsletters & hubs, etc.).

Personally, Mr. Götte is distinguished by his authenticity. He focuses less on eloquence and more on solutions that actually move you forward, not just sound good. This is evident, among other things, in his prepared solution suites, each for scaling strategies and end-customer business. It also proves that time and cost efficiency and high quality standards do not have to be conflicting requirements. He combines the Pareto principle and perfectionism so that work results in your company are assigned exactly to the right quality level based on the right influencing factors.

Experience and Professional Expertise – Emergence without Magic

Founding, developing and scaling companies since 1989, since 2014 with regard to the eleven types of SAP companies, and this complemented by outstanding market expertise, allows the combination of concrete experience and expertise. As an SAP management consultant and entrepreneur, he has also worked in all business areas and departments and has become familiar with their processes in detail. Abstraction without speculation – no magic. Emergence 2.0

He gained experience in the logistics modules (MM, PP, SD, VC, PP/DS, EWM, PM, QM, EHS, DVS, LE, GTS and WF plus HR integration) including accounting (FICO), project systems (SolMan, Enable Now & Jira), system administration (BASIS), various interfaces (ALE, RFC & BDC), software development (ABAP OO & BTP) and quality management (GRC, audits, GxP, SOX & CoBit).

His integrative experience in supplementing production planning (SAP APO), production control (MES, MII & machine connection), production optimization (OEE) and procurement (SCM ICH, SAP Ariba or SAP Fieldglass) was supplemented by a product overview that goes far beyond the SAP SE portfolio (SAP Store). Certifications for almost all SAP products, activities as SAP S/4HANA book author, academy owner, magazine editor and social network blogger, complement practical experience with additional perspectives. Industry experience was gained in particular in the automotive/mechanical engineering (IS-Automotive) including the supplier industry, in retail (IS-Retail) and regulated healthcare (IS-Healthcare/IS-Life Sciences).

Organizational Development and Unique Selling Points – Strategic Networking

As an SAP S/4HANA book author, academy owner, magazine editor and social network blogger, he not only keeps his knowledge continuously up to date, but has also established a systematic solution for networking. Unique selling points, monopolies and cost-effective solutions position Mr. Götte in the middle of the SAP elite.

The results are systematic collaboration models, a future-oriented network organization and initial approaches to transforming companies into their next generation. Are you still building bridges? Enjoy the champagne on Mr. Götte’s plane, which can take you anywhere.
