    • Dependencies and risks
    • Target architecture (Private Cloud, BTP, integrations)
  • Ensure alignment with:
    • Product strategy
    • Clean Core principles
    • SAP Activate methodology
Aligned with Implico’s consulting model of solution design, advisory, and quality assurance ownership

    • Fixed price vs T&M risks
    • Assumptions and delivery exposure
  • Drive commercially viable and scalable deal structures
Direct impact on internal focus areas such as margin calculation, tracking, and reporting

4. Industrialization & Scale
  • Build and institutionalize:
    • Standardized offerings and packages
    • Proposal templates and accelerators
    • Reference architectures
  • Improve:
    • Reuse across deals
    • Proposal speed and efficiency
  • Eliminate:
    • One-off “hero deals”
    • High dependency on bespoke solutions
Supports Implico’s strategy of standard delivery and operational excellence

5. Cross-Functional Integration
  • Act as the central orchestration point across:
    • Sales → opportunity shaping
    • Consulting → delivery validation
    • Product & Engineering → feasibility & roadmap alignment
    • Managed Services → lifecycle integration
  • Ensure:
    • Proposal = executable delivery model
    • Risks addressed early (especially in Explore phase)
Fully aligned with Implico’s positioning of Consulting as solution architect, advisor, and quality gate.
