Why we built this hub?
For the past four years, Configure It Done has been speaking with SAP leaders who have lived through large-scale transformations across Australia. As more organisations move towards S/4HANA, a consistent pattern has emerged: the success or failure of these programs often comes down to a handful of do’s and don’ts around governance, data, change, and program design.
The hub was created to put those lessons in one place so you can learn from others’ scars, avoid familiar pitfalls, and set your own program up for success.
What you’ll find inside.
The Resource Hub curates short, practical video clips and podcast episodes, organised around the decisions that matter most in an S/4HANA journey.
Business case: Six bite-sized videos uncover common pitfalls, how to secure approvals, and how to build a business case that speaks to both IT and the C‑suite.
Project type: Ten clips unpack RISE with SAP, Brownfield vs Greenfield, the role of Signavio, and what happens in the “second half” of your cloud journey.
Building teams: Four videos focus on who is going to deliver the program, the importance of trust, and whether you really need prior RISE experience on day one.
Selective Data Transition (SDT): Four explainers demystify SDT, where it adds the most value, and why it’s more than just a tool.
Data readiness: Four clips highlight why a data‑first strategy is critical, where projects fall over, and how to prepare your data properly.
Each section is built so a busy programme leader can get to the signal quickly, not wade through theory.
Spotlight on featured podcast episodes.
To go deeper than short clips, the hub also brings together handpicked Configure It Done episodes from guests who have actually delivered S/4HANA and broader SAP transformations.
Starting your S/4HANA journey: EY’s Mark Uhlemann shares how to approach Brownfield vs Greenfield, clean core, and RISE with SAP from an architect’s perspective, with a strong emphasis on future-proofing and AI/BTP readiness.
Overcoming S/4HANA barriers: Adrian Fernando talks through real-world blockers, from business cases that don’t land to under-cooked change management, and how to structure preparation properly.
Cost-effective ERP and RISE: Luke Keddie from Powerlink Queensland explains why a Brownfield strategy under RISE with SAP can be more cost-effective, lower risk, and deliver value faster than many expect.
The critical role of data: Syniti CEO Kevin Campbell zeroes in on data complexity, why it derails programmes, and how to treat data as a core workstream rather than a side task.
Leadership and team culture: Leaders like Gavin Wood and Anthea Arnol share what it takes to build inclusive, accountable teams and how to bring transferable skills into SAP projects.
Every featured episode is linked directly from the hub, so you can listen in full or share with your team.
Who this hub is for?
The S/4HANA Do’s & Don’ts Resource Hub is designed for people who are accountable for getting S/4HANA right, not just getting it live.
SAP leaders and programme directors who need to align project design with business outcomes and executive expectations.
Hiring managers and talent leaders who want to understand the skills, experience, and team structures required to deliver.
Business stakeholders who need a practical, non‑fluffy way to understand RISE with SAP, Brownfield strategies, SDT, and data readiness.
Whether you are still writing the business case, midway through design, or staring down cutover, the hub is built to meet you where you are.
How to use the hub (and what to do next).
There are three simple ways to get value from the hub straight away.
Start with the section that matches your biggest risk today – Business Case, Project Type, Building Teams, SDT, or Data – and work through the short clips with your core team.
Share the curated podcast episodes with your steering committee or stakeholders to ground discussions in real-world experience, not vendor slides.
If you are already on your S/4HANA journey and have lessons to share, put your hand up to feature as a guest and contribute your own do’s and don’ts to the community.
