Welcome to Season 1
Here at INNOVERV we are building the future of cloud consulting, with our leading talent, partners and ecosystem propelling our journey. And now we are happy to share the upcoming launch of our new thought leadership video series – INNOVERV Unplugged.
Our inaugural season hosted by our CEO, Partha Chakraborty, brings you 4 episodes with discussions ranging from the evolving role of Finance in global organisations, to the S/4HANA vs CFin debate, to emerging uses of AI in Finance.
Welcome to Episode 1! We discuss the Evolving Role of Finance in Global Organisations, with our panel of Finance and Business Leaders at the top of their game:
- Vandana Khanna, Head of Global Digital Finance Transformation Kenvue (formerly J&J Consumer Health). Previously at Unilever and Verizon.
- Amar Swain, Previously CIO, Vice President IT Corporate Functions, Philip Morris International.
- Edwin Bennaars, Head of GBS at Imperial Brands and Co-Founder of Digital Transformations & Beyond Peer Group. Previously at HEINEKEN, KPN and ArcelorMittal.
In episode 2 we discuss a topic that might hit a nerve: The business case for S/4HANA. Does it exist? Here at INNOVERV we firmly believe it does. And we have the team to make these transformations happen, and bring true value with them. So, what can you expect from our panel this time?
📈 Edwin Bennaars shares his narrative advice to justify S/4HANA transformations to Leadership
💲Discover how Amar Pradeep Swain made use of modularity, delivered value in chunks, and gave confidence to the Board
🔥 Vandana Khanna shares her top tips to successfully navigate S/4 journeys. Spoiler alert: it’s not always easy.
Straight to S/4HANA, or Start with Central Finance: What’s the Right Path? This is the topic up for discussion with our panel in Episode 3A.
If you are a multi-category business looking to divest or acquire in future, or an organisation with multiple ERPs in place, then CFin may indeed be the way to go. It gives both a common consolidation layer and flexibility in future…
But what about those firms with only a couple of ERPs, or already amidst an M&A? Well, there certainly is no one size fits all! What’s the right path for your organisation?
S/4HANA vs. Central Finance: The Lean Core. If you’re considering moving your organisation into a truly lean state with a clean core, this is the episode for you! In episode 3B we cover
- How to transform from many ECCs into a lean core S/4; Vandana Khanna, shares first-hand learnings
- Discover how AI and cloud apps can be used to build valuable satellite solutions from Amar Pradeep Swain
- How a unified data model concept can help the start of an S/4 journey; Edwin Bennaars shares insights you can use.
ERPs (Enterprise Resource Planning Systems) are the backbone of many organisations, but transformations here are time and resource intensive, not to mention a challenge! So how can you Safeguard your organisation and S/4HANA Cloud programme? In Episode 4 (the finale of Season 1 of INNOVERV Unplugged), Partha and our experts share their safekeeping tips:
- It’s critical to embrace change management principles from Day 1
- Assemble your A-team to give yourself the best chance of success
- Bring a user centric approach to transformations to drive adoption and success

The harsh reality: Today’s digital transformation programmes are being implemented exactly the same way as they were decades ago. Hundreds of millions $$. Three to five years. Teams of hundreds. And still… many tumble.
