The Process Mining Foundation Most AI Projects Skip - Professor Wil van der Aalst, Godfather of Process Mining

Professor Wil van der Aalst is known as the Godfather of Process Mining. He's been cited over 170,000 times, placing him among the top 10 most cited computer scientists alive. And he invented an entirely new field of computer science, one that quietly underpins how the world's largest organisations actually run. In this episode, he sits down with our CEO, Moon, to talk about why most AI projects are failing, and the one step almost every company skips before they start.  He explains what process mining actually is, why throwing AI at a broken process is a guaranteed way to waste your budget, and what senior leaders need to understand before they hand the AI strategy to their technology teams. If your organisation is mid-transformation and something still isn't working, this conversation might be exactly why.
