Hey everyone!

In this episode, I am speaking with my friend and former colleague Jason Conner. Jason manages one of the global operational excellence programs at Kuehne + Nagel, one of the largest logistics companies in the world. As part of this initiative, he has been part of a company-wide RPA project where he was both involved in the strategic phase on company-level as well as brought the tools, methodology, and training to the major operational centers.

During our conversation, we touched upon:
Different motivations depending on the management level with regards to automation
How to effectively land automation in operations
The benefits and shortcomings of RPA
Process mining
... and more
I hope that you enjoy this episode as much as I did and that you can take away something for yourself again.
