AAPM meets Hamburg

Abstract: 

AI and Process Intelligence Belong Together: Without process-oriented foundations, AI remains ineffective — and without AI, PI will no longer be sufficient in the future to make processes predictive, measurable, and compliant.
In this presentation, we will explore both sides of this symbiosis:
• How strong BPM enables trustworthy, successful, explainable, and sustainable AI initiatives —
• and why traditional PI/BPM must integrate AI to remain competitive in a dynamic market.
Finally, I will share practical recommendations that you can directly implement in your organization — from aligning your process and data strategy to selecting impactful AI‑PI use cases.

Abstract:

Industrial plants such as wind turbines are becoming increasingly smart: drones, vision AI, and intelligent bots detect damage at an early stage, derive structured actions, and trigger automated processes — always with human validation and comprehensive documentation. However, the full potential of these technologies can only be realized when the underlying business processes are transparent, well-understood, and purposefully automated.

This is exactly where our presentation comes in: using a wind turbine as an example, we’ll demonstrate how AI-supported plant monitoring can be integrated with Business Process Management — enabling seamless, efficient workflows from technical analysis and operational planning to documentation and knowledge management.

Abstract (Mirko Kloppenburg): 

You want to establish process management but aren’t sure where to start without getting lost in methods, tools, or BPMN? Then this round table is for you. You’ll receive a short introduction to the BPM roadmap: which steps really matter at the beginning, what typical pitfalls to watch out for, and how to build acceptance for processes in day-to-day operations. After that, we’ll discuss your questions and real-world examples. Together, we’ll organize challenges, share experiences, and define concrete next steps toward becoming a process-oriented organization.

Abstract (Martin Holling): 

“We’ve always done it this way” or “Everything is completely different here” — those are the typical reactions within an organization when someone dares to mention the “buzzword” process management. How can we address this reluctance to change? How can we engage an organization to rethink processes and challenge existing patterns so we can work together more efficiently and effectively in the future? How do I create a culture of openness toward mistakes and continuous improvement? I certainly don’t have the ultimate answer to these questions, but perhaps we can explore the answers together!
