Top process mining and execution management training courses of 2022
Data-centric positions were among the top tech jobs for 2022. In its ranking of the 15 highest-paying IT jobs, staffing company Robert Half ranked big data engineer (#1), data architect (#6), database manager (#7), data security analyst (#8) and data scientist (#9). Many employers are looking for candidates with process mining and execution management skills to fill these data-centered roles.
It’s no wonder why businesses are looking for people with these skills. The State of Business Execution Benchmarks Report 2021, shows significant and costly performance differences between average companies and market leaders for common business KPIs, such as on-time delivery and days payable outstanding (DPO).
