Insights, best practices, and thought leadership on operational excellence and AI-powered transformation
John Dennis, founder and chairman of the International Lean Six Sigma Institute (ILSSI), joins Famla AI's The Process People podcast to discuss agility in business, blockchain as a trust mechanism, where AI is still falling short, and what the next generation of Lean Six Sigma practitioners should actually learn.
Dr Anita Stalin, Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt and business transformation coach, joins Famla AI's The Process People podcast to discuss system thinking over siloed improvement, why automation amplifies bad processes as well as good ones, the human dimension AI still cannot replace, and advice for the next generation of OE practitioners.
Steve Novak, head of AI and automation practice at Definian, joins Famla AI's The Process People podcast to discuss what it takes to move AI from pilots to production, why intellectual atrophy is the real risk of AI adoption, how to frame any client problem before reaching for a solution, and why critical thinking is now the most important skill a consultant can develop.
Sergio Kemmer, lean construction consultant and civil engineer, joins Famla AI's The Process People podcast to discuss why lean is a philosophy of behaviour change rather than a toolkit, the power of collaborative planning, why psychological safety is a prerequisite for lean transformation, and how AI fits into the future of construction improvement.
A rating below 4 stars is not a customer opinion. It is an operational alert. The businesses that recover are not the ones that respond faster — they are the ones that find the failure and fix it.
The hardest part of any process improvement project is not the analysis. It is getting the right data from the right people before the analysis can begin. Famla Collect is the answer to that problem.
The Process People is a new podcast powered by Famla AI, dedicated to the practitioners, leaders, and decision-makers transforming organisations and shaping the future of work. Real conversations. No frameworks for the sake of frameworks.
Famla AI has been selected by the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie and Ovation.eco for their joint fundraising preparation programme — a structured acceleration pathway culminating in a hybrid seminar in Brussels in May 2026.
When a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt or Continuous Improvement Lead role is vacant, your team still runs the full PDCA and DMAIC cycle. Here's how to protect operational continuity without rushing a hire.
Newly certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belts and Black Belts face the same problem: the certificate proves you know the methodology, but your first project proves you can deliver. Here is how to make it count
AI can generate process maps at speed — but in business, speed without trust is a liability. This article sets aside IP and data security concerns and focuses on the harder question: how do you know the AI output is accurate, traceable, and defensible? Famla's approach to provenance, human validation, and deployment support makes the difference.
Most outsourcing failures trace back to the same root cause: the processes being transferred were never accurately understood or documented. Famla AI changes this by capturing how work actually flows before a contract is signed, structuring knowledge transfer, and keeping process maps current throughout the vendor relationship.
Learn how AI process mapping and automated diagramming reduce manual effort outside the drawing canvas.
Most automation initiatives fail not because of the technology, but because the underlying process was never properly understood. Learn how to assess automation readiness, optimise first, and automate with confidence.
SAP Signavio excels at process modelling, mining, and governance in S/4HANA transformation. But it depends on accurate process input to work well. Learn how to close the human discovery gap before you model.
Celonis and SAP Signavio Process Intelligence show what happens in your systems. But system data alone rarely explains why or what to do next. Learn how to bridge the gap between process mining insight and operational action.
70% of digital transformations fail — not because of the technology, but because organisations skip the foundation: understanding how work actually happens before redesigning it. A practical guide to strategy, process, and execution.
Process mining reads system event logs. AI process mapping captures knowledge from the people doing the work. Both are useful. Neither is sufficient alone. Here is how they compare and when to use each.
Famla is launching a consultant affiliate program for Operational Excellence, Lean Six Sigma, and process improvement practitioners. Earn lifetime recurring commissions at 20%, 30%, or 40% — plus create more downstream consulting demand for your own practice.
A step-by-step guide for practitioners making the move to independent consulting — covering setup, client acquisition, platforms, communities, and how AI tools change the economics of a new practice.
Most knowledge management systems store documents well but fail to capture how work actually gets done. Famla addresses the gap by turning interviews, SOPs, and informal process knowledge into structured, searchable, living process maps — and integrating with the tools organisations already use.
AI is not replacing consultants; it is changing where they spend their time. Learn how AI-augmented consultants use tools like Famla to accelerate discovery, analysis, and deliver more impact for clients.
Discover how Famla AI acts as a source of operational truth for project managers; integrating with Asana, Jira, Notion, and more to turn process documentation into real business value.
A practical guide to the best process mapping tools in 2026. Covers manual diagramming tools, AI process mapping platforms, and process mining — with clear guidance on which category fits which need.
Successful Asana implementation starts with workflow clarity, not board setup. When process understanding is strong, Asana becomes a true execution system.
A practical week-by-week guide for Operational Excellence teams starting with AI process mapping. What to do first, what pitfalls to avoid, and what good looks like after 30 days.
Microsoft Visio helps teams draw diagrams from what they already know. Famla helps teams discover how work actually happens and turn that understanding into improvement. A direct comparison for Operational Excellence teams.
Value stream mapping is one of Lean's most powerful tools. Its biggest limitation is how hard it is to apply at scale. Here is how AI process mapping supports VSM without replacing its fundamentals.
Is Lean Six Sigma still relevant with AI? Yes — but the way it is practised is changing. Here is what stays the same, what evolves, and what that means for practitioners and Operational Excellence leaders.
This guide explains how to run effective process discovery interviews and workshops to accurately capture how work actually happens in practice. It also explores common pitfalls, cultural challenges, and how AI-enabled platforms like Famla accelerate discovery through speed, scale, and asynchronous collaboration.
How to design KPIs that drive Operational Excellence. Learn the difference between global and local optimisation, why local KPIs can backfire, and which end-to-end value stream metrics to track.
Technology alone isn't enough. Learn how to create organizational buy-in and sustain improvement initiatives.
