Lorenzo Cianferoni is a production planner and SAP S/4HANA change manager based in Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy. He works in manufacturing at GEA Group and, on the side, studies management engineering and builds AI tools, websites and dashboards.
An SAP change manager leads the people-and-process side of an ERP programme: analysing business processes, improving master-data quality and driving user adoption so a system like SAP S/4HANA is actually used correctly. Lorenzo Cianferoni does this on a global rollout at GEA Group.
He designs and builds AI agents on Microsoft Copilot Studio that automatically classify and clean SAP material master data, each backed by a measurable business case, and he works in data analytics with Microsoft Power BI.
He is based in Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy, and works in manufacturing on production planning and the company's SAP S/4HANA rollout, on-site and partly remotely. On the side he builds his own projects, including a personal life dashboard and an open-data citizen dashboard for the Comune di Pistoia.
It is an open-data dashboard for the city of Pistoia covering the municipal budget, public works, citizen polls, a council Q&A feed and service reviews. It is one of Lorenzo Cianferoni's side projects, built to make local government data easier to read.

Un change manager SAP cura la parte umana e organizzativa di un progetto ERP: analizza i processi, migliora la qualità dei master data e guida l'adozione, così che un sistema come SAP S/4HANA venga usato correttamente e non solo installato. Lorenzo Cianferoni lo fa dall'interno, in un rollout globale in GEA Group.
No. È un dipendente: key user e change manager interno all'azienda che adotta SAP, non un consulente esterno in vendita. Vive l'adozione dal lato di chi il sistema lo usa ogni giorno.

A Pistoia, in Toscana. Lavora in ambito manifatturiero sulla pianificazione della produzione e sul rollout SAP S/4HANA aziendale, in sede e in parte da remoto.
Heyyy 👋 I'm Lorenzo, based in Pistoia. I work in manufacturing as a production planner and SAP change manager at GEA Group. On the side I study management engineering and build AI tools, websites and dashboards.
The system is the easy part — people are the project.

Daily AI tool
Bad data costs more than no data.
my principle

I'm Lorenzo Cianferoni, based in Pistoia. By day I work in manufacturing as a production planner and, since our SAP S/4HANA rollout, also as a change manager and key user. The rest of the time I study management engineering and build things: AI tools, websites, dashboards.
At GEA Group, a German industrial multinational, I'm a key user and local change manager on a global SAP S/4HANA rollout: process analysis, master-data quality, and helping people adopt new ways of working. (The system is the easy part.)
I design and build AI agents on Microsoft Copilot Studio that classify and clean operational data, always backed by a real business case, never just a demo. I'm a daily Claude user and a genuine believer in applied AI for enterprise work.
Off the clock I build my own tools: a personal life dashboard (finance, car and documents) and an open-data dashboard for Pistoia's public spending. I'm studying Management Engineering at Uninettuno.
I like working within constraints: tight timelines, messy data, real stakes. That's where the interesting problems live. My approach: fix the data first, design for people second, automate third.
I work hands-on with SAP S/4HANA in an industrial manufacturing setting — across Materials Management (MM), Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) and production planning. Key user, process analysis and master data quality.
My real focus is change management: closing the gap between a global ERP template and how a plant actually operates, and helping people adopt new ways of working. (Specifics of internal programmes stay confidential.)
An AI agent built on Microsoft Copilot Studio that automatically classifies SAP material codes into the correct taxonomy. It reads free-text material descriptions and maps them to the right category — fixing a structural data-quality problem that blocks ERP migration readiness.
Designed end-to-end with a full business case: estimated revenue impact, time savings, risk reduction and one-time/recurring cost analysis. AI classification paired with measurable operational value.
A missing field is honest — you notice it and fix it. Wrong data is silent: it flows through every process and every report until a decision is made on top of it. That's why data quality is where I focus first.
Configuring software is the predictable part of any ERP rollout. Getting people to actually work differently is the real work — and where a transformation is won or lost. Every gap doc, training session and stakeholder call matters as much as the config.
