This week we are speaking with an expert on this topic (and also a small business owner herself – Adi Klevit. Adi is running […]
A lot of people think that the work is done when they have a process be visualized in their process mining tool and a nice dashboard is built. Nothing could be further from the truth and our guest today, Sebastian Kotulla, talks with us about why that is. To bridge the gap between visualizing data/information […]
