Yevgen has spent many years researching how BPM can help prevent burnout. This fits perfectly with the human-centric approach to BPM. He mentions that if we listen to the feelings of the people working in the process as early as possible, we can minimize the stress level of their daily work, which can prevent burnout at an early stage. He also shares practical tips you can use in your work.Today’s Guest:Prof. Dr. Yevgen Bogodistov Yevgen has been a Full Professor of Strategic Management & Organizational Behavior at MCI - The Entrepreneurial School in Innsbruck, Austria, since 2021. Before joining MCI, he worked at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, the University of Applied Sciences Neu Ulm, and European-University Viadrina as a Lecturer and Postdoctoral Research Associate. Yevgen received his PhD in Business Administration and Management from European-University Viadrina in Frankfurt/Oder in 2014.
