Center of Excellence: Thi Nguyen

Episode 56 – Center of Excellence: Gia Thi Nguyen

Design-driven Transformation: James Toomey

Episode 51 – Design-driven Transformation: James Toomey

We had the topic of today’s episode – transformation – a couple of times on this podcast, even though we did not call the episodes like that. But why?

Sustainability Title

Episode 50 – Sustainability: Anthony Gilbreath

Some topics seem to be a “stretch too far” for this podcast, and the topic for today’s episode seems to be one of those: Sustainability. But is it?

Enterprise Mining Mark McGregor Title

Episode 48 – Enterprise Mining: Mark McGregor

We have spoken about Process Mining and data-driven decision making quite a lot on this podcast. But does it stop with mining processes?

We are at the next step of moving our organizations to the digital twin which will allow us to monitor “the plane” (our businesses) in real-time and compare it with the predictions of the future.
