From Chaos to Clarity: Driving Innovation Through Business Transformation

In this episode of Best Perspective, host Rushenka Perera, VP of Marketing at SAP ANZ, sits down with three transformation leaders: Rowee Benbenishty (Chief of Staff, WalkMe), Dee Houchen (CMO, SAP Signavio), and Christian Richter (Chief Customer Officer, LeanIX). Together, they unpack what it really takes to turn business transformation from a one-off project into a lasting capability. From overcoming legacy system challenges and change resistance to building a single source of truth across the enterprise, the discussion explores how organisations can drive innovation at scale. You’ll hear real-world examples — including GrainCorp and Nestlé — and learn how SAP’s Business Transformation Management Suite, powered by LeanIX, Signavio, and WalkMe, helps organisations align people, processes, and technology to deliver measurable results. The conversation also looks ahead at the role of AI and enterprise architecture in shaping the future of transformation, and how leaders can build a culture of continuous innovation.
