In the latest episode of the New Process Podcast, I spoke to Jean-Marc Erieau about how to implement process mining successfully. He shared some of the tips he has learnt over the years while implementing process mining at MANN+HUMMEL.
- Strategic entry point: Think of process mining as the beginning of a broader digital transformation, not just to create process visualizations, but to drive deeper changes such as automation and operational dashboards.
- Essential Adoption: Emphasize the need for process mining to digitize processes. Overcome hesitation by recognizing it as a fundamental step in modernization. → It is not a question of “if”, it is a question of “when” until everyone is involved in process mining. Better to start early than be left behind.
- Leadership and support: Ensure that the initiative is driven by a committed executive and supported by senior management. This combination is critical for success and for integrating the technology with business goals.
- Business-centric approach: Approach process mining as a business initiative, not just an IT project. The leader should have a strong business perspective that aligns technology with operational needs.
In essence, successful implementation depends on treating process mining as a key component of digital transformation, supported by strong leadership and a business-centric approach.
