Sometimes things in business kill the best podcast publishing schedule.

Today's guest, James Dening, the CEO of Minit, has sold the firm to Microsoft on March 31. Nevertheless this interview with him is very insightful regarding his way to becoming the CEO, process mining as a discipline, as well as the process mining market compared to the last "hot thing" Robotics Process Automation.

Today he works at Minit Process Mining, as CEO, in one of the most exciting and fastest growing spaces in software, shining a light on how processes are actually performing, and enabling companies to target their automation and process improvement efforts accurately.

When James is not working, you can either find him with his family, or out with his spaniels, or possibly taking his boat to the pub.
