Data, Process Mining, and Evidence-Based Redesign
Seeing the invisible with process mining
Event logs expose actual paths, not the ideal swimlanes on a slide. You discover seasonal spikes, uncommon yet costly variants, and risky reassignments. Have you tried mining a single critical process to uncover one change that pays for the entire exercise?
Choosing metrics that matter
Lead time, first-pass yield, and cost-to-serve beat vanity dashboards every time. Pair outcome metrics with behavioral indicators, then validate causality. Tell us which KPI most reliably predicts customer satisfaction in your organization, and how you capture it without burdening teams.
From insight to redesign
Translate findings into journey simplification, clearer decision rights, and fewer system hops. Prototype the new flow, simulate expected impact, and pressure-test edge cases. Which step in your process map seems ripe for removal rather than automation? Share your candidate below.
Automation That Scales: RPA, BPM, and Human-in-the-Loop
Use RPA for stable, rules-based tasks and BPM for end-to-end orchestration. If inputs are chaotic, redesign the upstream experience first. Comment with one task your team repeats daily that meets clear rules and could be automated safely within weeks.
Bots alone create islands of efficiency; orchestration aligns bots, humans, and systems under business rules. Add exception handling and audit trails to keep trust. What exception patterns would you route to people, and which deserve an automated corrective action?
A finance team deployed a bot to reconcile invoices, then added a machine-learning flag to spot risky mismatches. Straight-through processing jumped to 82%. Share your best practice for escalating edge cases without slowing the happy path for everyone else.
Expose capabilities via APIs, publish meaningful events, and decouple systems to reduce fragile dependencies. This enables faster changes without waterfall coordination. Which business event—order created, claim approved, inventory low—would unlock the most value if published across your ecosystem today?
Autoscaling and managed services keep processes responsive under unpredictable loads. Chaos testing reveals failure modes early. If you have a peak season, how would autoscaling and queue-based buffering protect your promise times and sustain a consistent customer experience?
A data fabric stitches together sources with consistent semantics, lineage, and access controls. It balances agility and compliance. Comment with one data contract your teams need to trust so analytics, automation, and reporting stop arguing about whose numbers are correct.

Measuring Outcomes and Sustaining Continuous Improvement
Link each initiative to time saved, cost avoided, revenue unlocked, or risk reduced. Use baselines, control groups, and transparent assumptions. What benefit category do your stakeholders value most, and how do you validate it without slowing delivery to a crawl?
Measuring Outcomes and Sustaining Continuous Improvement
Instrument processes end to end, stream live signals to a shared view, and align OKRs with leading indicators. Review trends weekly, not quarterly. Which leading indicator would give you the earliest warning that customer effort is creeping back into your process?
