“From Hype to Reality – Process Mining that Works” (guest appearance on the Prozessphilosophen podcast)
I had the pleasure to speak again on the “Prozessphilosophen” podcast again (in German!) and to talk about my new book, “Successful Process Mining Projects,” and the topic of process mining in regular organizations.
Here is the announcement of the episode:
“New episode #74 is out: From Hype to Reality – Process Mining that Works with Roland Woldt!
Why do so many mining initiatives fail at shiny dashboards? We tell it like it is:
– Small iterations instead of big bang
– Hypotheses > gut feeling (“Where does it stink?”)
– Data model first, tool second
– Three roles, one team: business, data, facilitation
– And: impact only counts when the process visibly changes
Roland brings along his new book, “Successful Process Mining Projects” – including a 6-step approach, checklists, and a sample dataset. Pure practice, zero buzzword bingo.
Enjoy listening to my conversation with Matúš and Daniel below 🙂
Roland Woldt is a well-rounded executive with 25+ years of Business Transformation consulting and software development/system implementation experience, in addition to leadership positions within the German Armed Forces (11 years).
He has worked as Team Lead, Engagement/Program Manager, and Enterprise/Solution Architect for many projects. Within these projects, he was responsible for the full project life cycle, from shaping a solution and selling it, to setting up a methodological approach through design, implementation, and testing, up to the rollout of solutions.
In addition to this, Roland has managed consulting offerings during their lifecycle from the definition, delivery to update, and had revenue responsibility for them.
Roland has had many roles: VP of Global Consulting at iGrafx, Head of Software AG’s Global Process Mining CoE, Director in KPMG’s Advisory (running the EA offering for the US firm), and other leadership positions at Software AG/IDS Scheer and Accenture.
