The Happiness Ninja - Humanizing Business

This week Jamie Rose interviews Daniel Markwig, Employee Experience Lead for "Humanizing Business" a board-sponsored initiative at European business software giant, SAP's, Digital Hub in Barcelona, Spain.

Culture is perhaps the one sustainable, advantage that most companies have, yet unfortunately the way we work has not kept up with the fast-paced changes that surrounds us. Leveraging the principles of people-centricity, self-managed organizations and creative flexibility, Humanizing Business is redefining structures, leadership, and ownership to create a modern culture that supports us to build authentic relationships, create meaningful results, and be our natural best.

Daniel has been in the software industry for almost 20 years. Before joining the Sales Hub in Barcelona he drove the setup of SAP's customer facing AppHaus, a creative environment to engage with customers in a design driven way. The AppHaus is present in five locations in Germany, the US, and South Korea, and the AppHaus Network has 40 partners worldwide.

With Humanizing Business, Daniel helps teams create a working culture that lets them consistently perform at the top of their game while feeling energized and having fun! Daniel believes in empathy for people as the main driver for innovation, and in the power of a team's environment to inspire greater outcomes.
