I help organizations use process mining to see how work really flows, find the bottlenecks, cut the rework, and fix the process before they automate the mess.
What's on the whiteboard and what's in the event log are almost never the same thing. Process mining shows you what's actually happening.
Your average cycle time looks fine. Your P90 tells the story your customers actually feel. They're rarely the same number.
Cases looping back through your process add invisible time and cost that traditional reporting never captures.
It accelerates them. Teams that automate before they mine discover faster failure at higher cost.
"Process mining is the closest thing to an MRI for your operations. It shows where the pain actually is, not where you think it is."

My talks give your audience a practical framework they can apply the next morning, not another methodology slide deck they'll forget by Friday. Real event logs. Real examples. Real takeaways.
I'm a Master Black Belt, a Microsoft Certified Trainer in AI and the Power Platform, and a U.S. Army veteran. I've spent my career helping operations and data teams run better, not just look better on a slide deck.
Process mining changed how I see every system I work with. I started Power Lean Sigma to bring that lens to conferences, workshops, and teams who are tired of gut feel improvement and ready to let the data lead.
I speak at industry events on process mining, automation readiness, and turning runaway costs, including the new wave of AI spend, into a clear plan. My talks are built for practitioners and executives alike.
Not a flowchart someone drew on a whiteboard. These are real process maps discovered from event data, showing how work actually flows, where it detours, and where time hides.

Every engagement follows a structured cycle: charter and map the current state, identify and collect the right data, find root causes and relationships, assemble and test solutions, then lock in the gains.
Available as 30 minute keynotes, 60 minute sessions, or half day workshops. All talks can be tailored to your industry and audience.
Most automation projects fail because they speed up a broken process instead of fixing it first. This talk shows how to see what your process is really doing before you automate, so you accelerate the right things instead of locking the waste in at scale.
Your average cycle time is optimistic fiction. It hides the painful long tail your customers actually feel. This talk replaces averages with medians, P90s, and SLA corridors, and shows why that one shift changes the decisions you make about staffing, service levels, and where to improve.
Every queue, every handoff, every rework loop is stealing time from your process and your customers. This talk reframes improvement around time as the root metric that quietly connects cost, quality, and customer experience, and shows where the most expensive delays are hiding.
When you first map how work really flows, it looks like a plate of spaghetti. This talk shows how to use real process data to find the happy path, cut the detours, and build a clear standard your team can actually follow and sustain.
An accessible introduction to process mining for audiences new to the idea. Using real examples, this talk shows how the data your systems already collect can reveal what no survey, interview, or flowchart ever could.
Have a specific workflow challenge or a dataset in mind? I design half day and full day workshops around your team's actual process data for maximum relevance and immediate application. We map the real process, find the waste, and leave with a concrete plan.
Email me at Russ@powerleansigma.com. Tell me about your event, your audience, and the problem you want on stage.
We'll talk for 30 minutes about your audience, goals, and which talk, or custom combination, fits best.
I tailor the content to your industry. You get slides and a speaker bio in advance. No surprises on event day.
I show up, deliver a talk your audience remembers, and debrief on key Q&A themes and takeaways afterward.
Process mining, one workflow at a time.
Short practical lessons. No fluff. No 45-minute tutorials for a 3-minute concept.
Beyond the stage, I work with operations and data teams to build process mining capability from the ground up.
For teams that want to know if their data and processes are ready before investing in tooling or training. We map the use case, review event logs, and deliver a clear pilot roadmap.
For teams ready to analyze a real process end-to-end. From raw event logs to an executive-ready findings summary with actionable recommendations.
I respond to all inquiries within one business day. Fast, the booking process should be as efficient as the workflows I talk about.
Send me an email with your event details, audience, and preferred dates. I respond within one business day.
