Key Takeaways

  • Focus on the storyline: Executives need a clear, high-level summary—not technical details.
  • Use LeanIX for impactful reporting: Create a CIO Summary Report to highlight:
    • Current state (e.g., 250 applications in scope).
    • Key decisions  (e.g., 10 eliminated, 3 migrated, 2 invested).
    • Financial impact (e.g., €3M annual savings).
    • Strategic outcomes (e.g., enabling ERP migration and microservices adoption).
  • Communicate in business terms: Support insights with SAP LeanIX visuals to make the case compelling.
  • Drive transformation: Position rationalization as a transformation enabler, not just cost-cutting.
