Celonis Labs Beyond 2023: How GenAI, LLMs, process-centric IT and other innovations are shaping the future of process mining

Innovation requires pushing beyond our current understanding.

Bring passionately curious people together around a common objective and amazing things can happen. Celonis Labs is that type of group–a collective of innovators, researchers and concept designers that think differently about how the world should work. Their common goal is exploring novel concepts and technologies in pursuit of process excellence.

Why? Because, processes are the fabric of our world. From putting food on our tables and clothes on our backs to letting us travel around the world and down the street, processes make everything happen. They’re also our greatest lever for value and our fastest lever for change. As Alexander Rinke, Celonis Co-CEO and Co-Founder, said during his Celonis World Tour 2023 keynote, “The world is a much better place with better processes in it.”

Beyond, the Celonis Labs journal, is our chance to share the projects and research the team is working on. It’s a collection of thoughts, analysis and prototype descriptions from leading experts in process mining and business performance.

In our inaugural issue published in 2022, we explored concepts like business collaboration networks, zero-trust sharing and business domain translation.

In the Beyond 2023, the second edition, we’re taking things to 11. We continue our exploration of collaborative networks and expand our discussions into areas like generative AI / LLM, process-centric IT platforms, software that empowers collective action and object-centric process mining.

We’re also pleased to include special guest contributors Kyriakos Triantafyllidis with the World Economic Forum; Massimo Pezzini, a veteran IT industry analyst and research fellow; Eugene Wu, associate professor at Columbia University; and Dimitris Kiritsis (Kyritsis), former Professor of ICT for Sustainable Manufacturing at EPFL Lausanne, Senior Advisor at University of Oslo. There’s also a section with abstracts from the latest research and Master Thesis papers on process mining. Now that’s cutting edge.
