Relationship Manager

LinkedIn Global Top Voice (Invitation Only) | Helping Side Hustlers & Solopreneurs Scale to their first $100k

Most service-based businesses fail because they're built on hope, not strategy.

After 10+ years managing $300M+ in corporate accounts across automotive, aerospace, and defense, I've seen what separates businesses that thrive from those that survive on luck.

The difference? Strategic systems over sporadic tactics.

My Authority:

→ Corporate-Level Strategy: Adapted enterprise account management frameworks for small business reality

→ Cross-Industry Expertise: Automotive urgency + Aerospace planning + Defense resilience = unshakeable business foundations

→ Proven Track Record: Currently building Morris Strategic Advising while maintaining corporate responsibilities (walking the walk)

The Strategic Problems I Solve:
• Revenue inconsistency that keeps you awake at 3am
• Lead generation that feels like throwing darts blindfolded
• Growth strategies that create burnout instead of breakthrough
• Sales processes that depend on luck instead of systems

My Framework - The Sustainable Sales Blueprint:
A battle-tested methodology that transforms chaotic client acquisition into predictable revenue streams. 

Built on three pillars:

1. Strategic Foundation - Corporate-level planning scaled for small business
2. Relationship Architecture - Systems that build trust before transactions
3. Sustainable Scaling - Growth without the feast-or-famine rollercoaster

Why This Approach Works:
Most consultants teach tactics. I architect systems. The difference is the gap between temporary wins and lasting success.

Turning Operational Chaos into Strategic Clarity | SAP Transformation & Process Excellence | Signavio

Tech ≠ Transformation. 

Here’s What’s Really Holding SAP Projects Back  

Too many organizations kick off their SAP “digital transformation” by rolling out shiny new modules and calling it progress.  

Let’s be real — more software doesn’t guarantee better outcomes.  

True business ROI comes from 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, not just technology adoption.  

If you don’t understand how your processes actually run — and where they break — no system upgrade will deliver the results you expect.  

That’s why top‑performing teams treat 𝗦𝗔𝗣 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼 and 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗜𝗫 as business accelerators, not IT add‑ons.  

They connect your processes, architecture, and strategy into one view so you can:  

-Turn operational data into actionable insights  
-Spot real‑time bottlenecks before they hit your bottom line  
-Link every process improvement to measurable business outcomes  

 Quick Test

Can your CFO see a clear ROI from your SAP rollout today?  
If not, it’s time to re‑evaluate where your transformation is actually creating value.

Most people just let the week happen to them. They show up Monday and react to whatever lands in their inbox.

But that's a fast way to spin your wheels and get nowhere.

I treat Sunday like a reset button. I zero in on what actually matters. What do I want to move the needle on? What can I cut out?

If you don’t do this, you end up working hard... but not getting anywhere. And honestly, that's just wasted effort 😉.

Don’t wait for someone else to set your priorities. Own your week before it even starts.

Take five minutes tonight. Decide how you want your week to go. Then make it happen.

Who actually enjoys burning 40% of their budget every year? 

I've yet to meet that CFO.

Here's the truth no one likes to admit: Most ERP transformations fail because leaders can't see what's really going on in their business processes.

It's like trying to build a 1000-piece puzzle when all the pieces are face down.

Blind spots lead to:
→ Delays that make teams groan
→ Budgets that explode for no good reason
→ Endless back-and-forth firefighting

Now, SAP Signavio isn't a magic word. But it's pretty close if you care about process transparency.

It doesn't just hand you reports. 
It hands you a flashlight and the map—so you spot waste, enforce real standards, and actually speed up your S/4HANA migration.

Picture this:
→ Costs slashed by 40% and you know exactly where the savings come from
→ Project timelines so short, your team stops betting on over/under delivery dates
→ Freed-up resources actually focused on growth, not patching problems

Sticking with "the old way" isn't being careful. It's actually the most expensive move you can make.

Waiting for a sign? Consider this your billboard.

SAP Signavio

Most companies buy AI tools like gadgets, but few orchestrate them.

Without a control layer, AI is just noise. Reactive, disconnected, and hard to scale.

That’s where Digital Adoption Platforms come in.

They connect AI across systems, measure real results, and enforce guardrails.

If your AI isn’t orchestrated, it’s not a strategy—it's chaos.

Stop adding tools that don't talk.

You don't need more AI. You need control.

The chaos stops when you decide to lead it.

Like this post if you agree that orchestration is key to AI success.

Comment your biggest challenge with AI implementation.


#AI #DAP

60% of companies migrating to S/4HANA are ignoring Joule AI.

Why?

Joule is already included in RISE and can automate procurement and finance tasks with minimal risk.

The real challenge isn’t cost it is planning.

If you’re not integrating AI during migration, you’re leaving efficiency gains on the table.

So, why wait?

Skipping it now, means that you’ll pay twice later

Start integrating AI early.

Maximize ROI from day one.

Don’t just migrate -> transform .

Ready for the full potential of your SAP journey?

Let’s talk.

Last week, someone asked me straight up:

"Signavio’s $150k a year, but I still have to pay for SAP consultants? Where’s the payoff?"

Let’s cut through the noise.

Consultants alone? You get opinions and best guesses, based on what people remember in workshops.

Signavio flips it.

	- Your real processes, mapped and measured. No guesswork.
 - Instant x-ray vision for bottlenecks, risks, and waste—stuff you’d never spot in a meeting.
 - Always up to date. Not a one-and-done slide deck.
 - Consultants actually start with facts, not a blank page.
You’re not choosing between tools and people.

You’re choosing between slow, expensive guesswork—or fast, targeted improvements.

Signavio turns “I think” into “I know.”
That’s the difference.

If you care about speed, real savings, and fewer surprises, you need both.

Paying to stay in the dark costs more than any license.

Guess what most S/4HANA migrations get wrong?

They assume ROI, but never bother to see how work actually gets done.  
On paper, everything looks perfect.  

Reality? Whole different story.

There’s always a gap between how you think your process works and what’s actually happening.   

That gap isn’t harmless.  

You can’t fix what you can’t see.  
That’s why process observability isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s make-or-break.

SAP Signavio is like an X-ray for your business.  
It shows you the real process flows—no guessing, no wishful thinking.  
You see:

- Actual workflows, not just what’s in the org chart  
- Where automation would actually move the needle  
- A roadmap that connects the dots for your S/4HANA migration

This isn’t about playing the blame game.  
It’s about making invisible costs visible and turning them into measurable savings.

I’ve seen teams slash cycle times by over 30%.  
I’ve watched overruns drop, just by shining a light on what was hiding in plain sight.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:  
If your S/4HANA plan skips process intelligence, you’re not planning. You’re gambling.

The data already knows the truth — time to see it.

1 in 3 people trust AI outputs.

Yet, 

adoption is accelerating.

There is a growing risk here: data without context.

Pair this with assumptions. 

this will not only  lead to poor decisions, it amplifies them.

This is why data governance isn't optional in 2026. 

It must work hand-in-hand with data to ensure:

✅ Context is preserved
✅ Assumptions are challenged
✅ Due diligence is embedded in every decision

Because without governance, "data-driven" can quickly become confidence-driven mistakes.

How does your organization safeguard context in its data strategy?

#AI #Governance #SAP #ProcessExcellence

76% of decision makers  agree  bad data leads to bad decisions.

AI needs context.

Joule isn’t just automation it’s like having your own intelligence agency inside SAP, so you always have the most relevant intel.

Finance, procurement, supply chain. 

Every decision gets smarter when data is unified and enriched.

So think twice.

If AI needs clean, contextual data to deliver ROI, here’s what matters:

Don’t wait until after migration. 

Start integrating Joule from the get go. 

Because every day without context is a day of risk.

Time to turn bad data into better decisions in 2026?

Let’s talk.
