The presentation explains how to use the power of the process management discipline as a value-switch for digital transformation. It shows how tools like process modelling, simulation and mining are used to drive rapid data-based decisions and define appropriate actions that results in a realistic business case and minimized time-to-value. Case examples from financial, health and technology manufacturing companies illustrate how to master the digital transformation journey.
