GB: It’s good to see you, Gregg, and talk a little bit about process automation, which is certainly one of the pillars of digital transformation.

GR: So, George, earlier in this interview, you mentioned Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and I still think there's confusion within the BPM Community or with folks that maybe have not started adopting those technologies yet. So, I was hoping you could help our Members sort through what it is they need to know, what role those technologies are going to play, and how do they learn a little bit more about the current state of the art.

GR: George, you’ve been a BPM guru for a long time, and you also expanded the areas that you work in to include Decision Management, Case Management, and Automation Technologies. I was hoping that you could connect the dots for our Members to help understand what's coming down the Pike and what they can do to try to get up to speed with its current state of the art.

GR: I first met George, and started working with him, back when he was with Appian, and back then, George was one of the first folks to bring Process to the Cloud as a SAS product. So, George, I wanted to pick your brain for our Members today and ask you what you’re seeing as most significant these days and what’s happening with the migration to cloud computing

GB: There are a few things about the migrating to cloud computing over the past decade that stand out to me.

The DBizInstitute.org has launched a new course—Digital Transformation 101! 

This is a foundation course, taught by Dr. Setrag Khoshafian, for those embarking upon cultural and digital transformation journeys leveraging Hyperautomation, No Code, AI, Process Mining, Design Thinking, IoT, and Blockchain with best practices and real-world examples.

What makes a digital transformation successful?

Most organizations have started, or have at least planned, their digital transformation journey [0] [1]. These organizations expect to increase their performance drastically by leveraging digital technologies. However, many of those businesses struggle to meet the high expectations through their digitalization initiatives, and don’t deliver the expected value.

Sooner or later, everyone will have Hyperautomation tools—the only question is, which ones?

Some disruption is a normal part of any business operation. We just adjust. We collectively all just lived through a bad one—the Covid19 pandemic. We are now entering yet another new major disruption, and hopefully it will prove to be a good one. While this disruption has already started, its impact has not yet reached its projected level.
