What life of a real Process Architect looks like with Christoph Bünker from Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services

New Process Podcast

#018: In this episode, I'm speaking with Christoph Bünker from Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services. Christoph is not only a Process Architect himself, he actually leads an entire team of eight Process Architects.
Christoph has a long-lasting experience in this area and he is probably the most experienced Process Architect I know of.
When I am talking about the role of a Process Architect, I am talking about the role supporting the Process Owner to design, improve, implement, and steer a process. So if the Process Owner is accountable for all these activities, the Process Architect takes over the responsibility for the execution. You may call this role also Process manager in some organizations, but in the New Process Role Concept it’s the Process Architect.
The episode is so full of exciting insights and you will learn more about what the life of a real Process Architect looks like!
