At the recent White House Correspondent’s Dinner, President Obama joked
“People ask me, do you have a bucket list?' I say, well I have something that rhymes with bucket. Immigration executive action? "Bucket!" Stricter climate rules. "Bucket!"”
At Sapphire this week, SAP executives should have used the POTUS Bucket to good use
Bill McDermott could have said
“I know Vinnie says SAP and its partners have wasted another $ 100 billion of customer money in the six months since his book SAP Nation came out. Bucket! Please go visit the large partner booths in the expo hall – some of them are the largest on record. We are proud of our bloated ecosystem. Bucket!”
Bernd Leukert, instead of promising 25 industries will be part of S4/HANA in his keynote, then nuancing it like a politician in the press Q&A could have said
“Like Dr. Hasso Plattner announced in February industry functionality will come much later. Bucket!”
Dr. Plattner could have said
“Did I actually tell a journalist “If If this (S4/HANA) doesn’t work, we’re dead.”? Bucket. Let’s talk about more pleasant things like the Boardroom of the Future. Boardrooms deserve the best. Bucket!”
Instead, Karenann Terrel, CIO of WalMart stole the show when on stage she said
“I hope to see S4/HANA delivered in my lifetime. It’s on my bucket list.”
She’s clearly not a politician
