Expert Insights on Automation and AI

  • "Companies are not interested in diagnostics, they are interested in action and the change the technology can bring."

    Prof. Wil van der Aalst, the Godfather of Process Mining, Chief Scientist at Celonis

  • "The power of diversity is to bring different thinking together. More you can experience the different cultures at depth, it gives you the ability to run global organizations at scale."

    Robert Enslin, Co-CEO at UiPath

  • "Making things simple is the hardest challenge ever. Making things complicated is very easy. So if you do not think of the basics of how a human has to use it, you can get overwhelmed by what the technology does. Is this something that people want?"

    Joy Mountford, UX Design & Team Leader. Head of Apple's 1st Human Interface Group; VP of Design at Yahoo!; led design teams at Honeywell, Akamai, Ford & more.

  • "RPA as a technology was interesting, but RPA as a paradigm-shift or archetype for continuous improvement, humans-striving to matter to have purpose... That’s what’s so amazing about this space! That’s what the people wanted. This is the origin story of Citizen Development."

    Ian Barkin, Entrepreneur with 1 exit, Instructor and Executive Advisor at Bain & Co

  • "I think the human in the loop will become the norm for many enterprises...I still sort of feel that if you don’t need a human in the loop, it’s probably not an interesting enough job for a human to be performing anyway.”

    - Prof. Thomas Davenport on the importance of human involvement in AI
