Scott Armstrong

As I learned, he's an avid skier. He used to compete in mogul competitions. He has an appetite for risk in business and life: He lives by the motto, work harder, play harder. đ
Interfacing as a pioneer in processes. It launched one of the first business process re-engineering modeling and simulation engines back in 1994 and then also one of the first web-based central repository solutions in 2000 as part of the Michael Hemmer BPM movement.
Interfacing was acquired by Scott and his partners seven years ago and has grown to become one of the leading global digital twin solutions. Interfacing offers a full BPM suite from modeling, analysis, simulation to automation. And what makes interfacing really interesting for me as an airline guy is their solution's capabilities to cover all compliance requirements of highly regulated industries like airlines, MRO, pharma, MedTech, and so on. They are very specialized also in the coverage of all QMS, GRC, BPM, and EA requirements.

#016: In this episode, Iâm speaking with Jasmin Karatas to learn more about how gamification can be applied to inspire people for processes.
I learned from Jasmin that gamification has a lot to do with processes and I see a huge potential in using gamifications for example for process trainings to get people excited about processes.
Jasmin explains very clearly how gamifications are developed and gives many good examples. In the recap, I summarize my learnings for you, so you can leave the episode with a lot of inspiration and practical tips. Have fun listening!
