9:45 am - 10:15 am EST Panel Discussion: Why the Data in Process Management is the Not-So-Secret Weapon to Business Continuity Planning

Jeff Frame - Co-Founder, imPROVE Group
Dr. Markus Baumgartner - Head of Global Business Services, Miba
Cosima von Kries - Director, Pre-Sales Solution Engineering EMEA, Nintex

One of the key challenges with keeping company knowledge locked away in the minds of its employees, is that company growth or turnover leads to knowledge becoming a bottleneck or at risk of being lost. The shared services organization that’s able to manage and govern its data effectively, will also ensure business continuity. This panel discussion will track how each speaker has recorded and organized the data held in business processes so that it can remain with the business over time and protect the business against unforeseen circumstances. It will cover:

  • The risks of keeping business knowledge locked away in the minds of employees
  • Shifting workforce interactions with data away from data input and towards data consumption
  • The long-term strategic benefit and applications of upgrading and digitizing document management

10:30 am - 11:00 am EST FIRESIDE CHAT Knowledge Management Vs Knowledge Sharing – what data goes into process and what stays within communities of practice?

Anna Alechno - Global Process Excellence and Intelligent Automation Lead, Japan Tobacco International

Knowledge management goes hand-in-hand with automation and RPA success. This fireside chat will discuss the benefit of recording information within process management and not the heads of the employees while still relying on communities of practice to strategically further enterprise initiatives. It will cover:

  • Standard operating procedures: keeping these up-to-date and teaching people the same way to do this process for quick onboarding. 
  • Operational excellence: establishing practices of process ownership, and reviews, but also communities of knowledge. 
  • Experience and Knowledge: drawing the line between what the business can record and what sits within employees to be developed, such as problem solving and innovation
