Episode 87 — Process Management Education: Matúš Mala
BPM is important because everything that we do in organizations are processes.
So, why don’t we agree on a common nomenclature, and educate people with a standardized curriculum? Oh, it is because the players have a vested interested in coming up with “the next best thing” and selling it to your customers?
But there is the need for a basic training for everyone (?) in an organization about process management, and the guest in this episode, Matúš Mala, is working on creating the foundation for this.

Matúš is a BPM philanthropist & coach, podcast host, independent [Business] Process Management & Automation advocate, organizer of the BPM-Munich, meetup, trainer, mentor, servant leader, career advisor, solution architect, agile developer … or to say it in other words: a busy man.
He is currently fascinated by all aspects of modern BPM, including hyperautomation, citizen development, automation fabric and other hot trends. As a lecturer at the TH Augsburg, I have the opportunity to pass on my knowledge and passion for these topics.
In this episode of the podcast, we are talking about:
- Matúš’ background
- Importance of education in BPM topics — do we need it, or is it enough to learn on the job?
- Is the current education status good or bad?
- Gartner predictions for Digitalization / BPM / Hyperautomation / AI / Low-Code / … areas
- Do we need to change something? And how?
Matúš can be contacted via LinkedIn and you can find him at the Process Academy and SCR Consulting.
