Learn how to define true success beyond winning
In the last 44 years, SAS has worked to make lives better not just for our customers but for people around the world. The value of data in our daily lives has grown with each passing year, whether it’s being used to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak, track deforestation, eliminate fraud or optimize complex logistics. Analytics – the ability to turn mountains of data into the decisions that drive every organization – is important now, more than ever.
Through it all, SAS has remained true to who we are. SAS has defined a culture that allows us to do great things, every day. From the beginning, we set out to establish an environment that rewarded creativity and innovation.
We have always taken a long view, building software designed to delight our customers, not venture capitalists or Wall Street. We have survived – and thrived – as the technology landscape was reinvented dozens of times over the past few decades.
As competitors, trends and technologies come and go, the rules are bound to change. Yet, SAS has remained committed to the idea that analytics is the key for turning a world of data into a world of intelligence.
These same ideas of resilience and commitment to your values are echoed in Simon Sinek’s The Infinite Game, a book that resonated with many SAS leaders and employees. At the beginning of the year, our leaders used the book as a guiding element at our formal company kickoff events. After that, the COVID-19 outbreak changed the rules yet again, but we continue working on ways that SAS can help our customers through this and future disruptions.
We invited Sinek to our SAS Global Forum virtual event to share these lessons of resiliency and growth, and to encourage every attendee to develop an infinite mindset too.
Register now to hear SAS COO Oliver Schabenberger interview Sinek on Tuesday June 16.

3 年Love the mind-set "Define True Success Beyond Winning". I've been involved with IT development (including algorithm building and testing for expected business results) through EDI batch-filing certification in a Federally Regulated environment and for one of a select few Government-approved SaaS e-filers (back in the 90s) not unlike, at least the standards compliant Free-filers for Federal and Stare Tax Returns today. The Court filing process, at the State and County levels have e-filing systems which are effective (a system for Attorneys and another for Pro Se Representers), but we can make them better! The only apparent "rules" validated prior to e-filing that I can see, include things like user credentials, filename size constraint, file type constraint, and file size constraint. Other than that, user discretion to select the appropriate venue, docket, type of filing being made, and acceptance of certification criteria. Of course up-front rules-based verifications could or would otherwise render a number of "filings" rejected on submission and well, you get it. Quite serious about sharing the areas and the algorithm-design, form-field targets, etc. to round out such a new build -- "true success beyond winning".
I enjoyed the fireside chat. Got me thinking and reflecting, which is always a good thing. Thanks #lifelonglearning
