Wil van der Aalst in the New Process Podcast


Hi Reader,

Stage fright - to be honest, I don’t really know what it is anymore after this many talks and keynotes I’ve had the privilege of giving. 🤔

But before the last recording of the New Proces Podcast, I was more nervous than I have been in a long time. I had the honor of speaking to the godfather of process mining himself: Wil van der Aalst! 🤯

It was a super interesting (and relaxed) interview and we talked about how Process Mining takes BPM to the next level.

We talked about:

  • How to convince top management to invest in process mining
  • What Wil expects for the next 10 years to come in the area of BPM
  • How Wil sees the influence of AI on BPM and work in general
  • What Wil’s experiences with being sensitive to different cultures, the uniqueness of people, and their needs in the context of processes are
  • What Wil’s top recommendations on how to rethink processes are
  • Where to learn more and how to start with process mining

Check out this new blog post where Wil shares his suggestions about how to involve the people working in the processes in process mining activities:

These 40 minutes flew by and of course, the nervousness was unnecessary. I hope you enjoy listening to it - I’m so curious about what you guys are thinking. 🚀

Thank you for reading.

Have a great day!

Hi Reader, Can you remember the last time you started a new project, turned a bright idea into reality or maybe even started your own business? If you're nodding yes, then you know the thrill of starting something new - and the mountain of to-do's that comes with it. One of the greatest challenges I've faced is the art of starting simple and progressing incrementally - the philosophy of the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It still happens to me today that in my burst of motivation I want to do...

Hi Reader, Can you believe it's already November? Time does fly! 😳 I'd like to ask for a small favor that could make a big difference: As in the past two years, I've put together a brief survey to identify the BPM topics of 2024, and I'd love for you to participate.Because our community is such an important part of this journey, it is only logical that I collect your current thoughts and concerns:→ to get a better understanding of what BPM topics are important to you.→ to tailor the content...

Hi Reader, Expanding on the last newsletter, I'd like to stress the importance of interacting with other BPM enthusiasts.

In my opinion, this enthusiasm is what really drives us forward, especially in the research world. 🚀 Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of having meaningful conversations with a lot of passionate people. These discussions not only lead to fresh ideas and inspiration...
