New Process Podcast

#59 Let’s think about the important topic of burnout and what we can do from a BPM perspective to prevent it.
In this episode, I'm talking to Prof. Dr. Yevgen Bogodistov about the important topic of burnout prevention. 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. He also holds a Master’s degree in European Studies from Viadrina University, as well as Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in International Relations from Dnipro National University in Ukraine.

Yevgen formerly worked as a project coordinator at the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung in Kyiv and between his Master’s and PhD, he built a career in a medium-sized enterprise in Ukraine, starting as an economist and ultimately serving as the Chief Operating Officer.

You’ll learn:

• Why Yevgen did research on BPM and Burnout Prevention
• What his findings are how BPM can prevent burnout
• How he defines human-centric BPM from a scientific perspective
• What Yevgen's recommendations are to get to a more human-centric BPM approach
