We are training SAP people for the wrong decade.

We are training SAP people for the wrong decade.

The race to 2027 has everyone hunting for config skills and certifications. The deadline is real. But 63% of employers already say the skills gap, not the technology, is the top barrier to transformation.

Here is what AI is quietly doing: the technical knowledge we train hardest for is the part it commoditizes fastest. Configuration. Documentation. First-draft analysis. Going, or already gone.

What it cannot do: negotiate scope with a CFO who wants everything. Present a hard trade-off without losing the room. Stay agile when the blueprint breaks in month six. Reason from concepts when the playbook runs out.

We call these soft skills and leave them to chance.

The teams that deliver after 2027 will be the ones that trained for judgment, negotiation, and presence, not just for the system.

That is the budget line most programs are still missing.
