01 Why most lawsuits today cost too much money
Many companies feel it every day: processes move slowly, numbers come in late, and no one knows exactly where the margin is being lost. At the same time, the pressure to adopt AI is growing. But there is a lack of clean data and clear structures to make this happen. The result is missed opportunities and excessive costs. After all, only those who understand the bottlenecks and inefficiencies in their processes can eliminate them. The good news: The four most common causes can be specifically addressed with our Process Mining Consulting.
1. Lacking transparency
Companies don't know where time and money are being wasted in their processes.
1. Lacking transparency
Excel reports and Power BI dashboards only show symptoms, never the real causes of delays and cost overruns. A production step that is scheduled to take seven minutes often ends up being idle for over an hour without anyone noticing. Process mining uncovers exactly these deviations, quantifies the financial impact, and shows you where you need to take targeted action.
2. Systems that no one understands anymore
Too many IT systems are running in parallel, and no one can make sense of how they all work together anymore.
2. Systems that no one understands anymore
Over the years, most companies have developed systems that no one can shut down anymore. At the same time, no one fully understands how they all work together, which leads to inefficiencies and duplicate work. Process mining connects these systems, makes the data actionable, and finally brings clarity to your digital landscape.
3. AI with No Impact on Business
More than half of all AI projects fizzle out because they lack a solid foundation.
3. AI with No Impact on Business
Many companies launch ambitious AI projects, but most get stuck at the pilot stage. Without well-defined processes, clear use cases, and measurable goals, AI remains nothing more than a technological experiment. Only when AI is firmly embedded in business processes does it generate real value.
4. Lack of vision
Many companies no longer know what they want to look like in five years.
4. Lack of vision
Instead of actively shaping the future, many small and medium-sized businesses are merely reacting to market changes and short-term pressures. As a result, they lack a clear direction for digitalization, automation, and the use of AI. We work with you to develop a clear digitalization roadmap in which each phase is funded by the savings generated in the previous one.
"AI often fails due to a lack of process clarity. Process mining makes these processes visible and usable."

02 How Process Mining Consulting Works
Many companies know that there is potential in their processes. But they don’t see where it lies. Our approach is clearly structured and delivers quickly visible results across all areas of the business: from order processing and production to procurement, finance, and controlling. In three phases, we make your processes transparent, improve them in a targeted manner, and ensure long-term success. This gives you a fact-based foundation for improved performance and better decisions.
Our three-step approach:
1. Discover
We integrate your IT systems, such as SAP, and capture the digital footprints of your processes. From this, we build a precise data model that accurately reflects your actual workflows.
1. Discover
This allows you to identify, for the first time, where time, money, and quality are being wasted—based on facts. Together with you, we prioritize the most effective areas for improvement and provide concrete recommendations for action.
2. Enhance
Based on our analysis, we implement targeted improvements to your processes. In doing so, we automate routine tasks so that your employees have more time to focus on value-added activities.
2. Enhance
In addition, we support you with AI-powered recommendations directly in your day-to-day work. Thanks to rapid implementation, you’ll see whether a measure is effective as early as the next day.
3. Monitor
Traditional reporting only shows results in the form of KPIs. Process mining also reveals whether your processes are actually being followed in practice as planned.
3. Monitor
They can quickly identify when changes aren’t taking hold or when employees are falling back into old habits. Consistent KPIs across all departments also facilitate easy benchmarking and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

03 Why Process Mining Projects Fail Without Change Management
Process mining is a powerful tool. But the tool alone cannot transform a company. That is why we place a special focus on professional change management in our projects. Transparency exposes weaknesses, breaks down departmental silos, and makes decisions open to criticism. Without experienced guidance, this can quickly become a major test for your organization. We ensure that transparency translates into real progress. This way, your employees will embrace the change rather than resist it.
Transparency has two sides
Process mining reveals what has remained hidden for years. This applies to employees as well. When processes become visible, everyone can see where errors occur and who makes which decisions.
Transparency has two sides
This can unsettle managers and put departments under pressure to justify their actions. We guide this process with sensitivity, build trust, and ensure that transparency is seen as an opportunity.
Change Without Fear
Digitalization raises concerns that can slow down any project. Many employees fear being replaced by automation or suddenly making their own mistakes public.
Change Without Fear
These concerns are understandable and must not be ignored. We help your teams overcome their fears, build trust, and demonstrate how process mining enhances their work.
Breaking down silos
Going forward, accountability for processes will work differently than your teams are used to. Until now, everyone was responsible for their own area; now, the focus is on achieving a shared result across departmental boundaries.
Breaking down silos
This fundamentally changes hierarchies, communication channels, and leadership styles. We help your employees grow into this new role and see collaboration as a strength.
Focused on Success
Many projects fizzle out because too many initiatives are underway at the same time. In small and medium-sized businesses in particular, companies often launch numerous projects simultaneously—and none of them reach their goal.
Focused on Success
That’s why we work in clear 4-month phases. During this time, we focus on a single project and drive it forward consistently until we achieve measurable results. After four months, the return on investment is realized. From that point on, you’re the winner, and we can launch the next project together.
