MP3•Episode home

In this episode, I’m talking to Henrik Niedieck about what it truly means to live processes 24/7 – professionally, personally, and even during vacation. We explore how process thinking becomes a mindset that shapes not only your work but the way you see the world – even from a beach chair.

Today’s Guest:

Henrik Niedieck

Henrik is a Principal at Lumics Consulting – a joint venture between McKinsey & Company and Lufthansa Technik. For more than ten years, he has been supporting organizations in transforming their structures and processes using Lean methods and human-centric approaches.

Henrik’s passion for process improvement goes far beyond his consulting projects. Whether he’s optimizing aircraft maintenance, coaching leadership teams, or analyzing guest flow at a holiday resort – he always sees the world through a process lens.

He’s also a certified triathlon coach and Ironman athlete, applying the same discipline and continuous improvement mindset to sport as he does to business.

We recorded this episode during a spontaneous vacation meetup at Fleesensee – in German, on video, from a beach chair. You’ll find the video here.

The English version was translated using the AI tool HeyGen.

You’ll learn:

Why process thinking is not just a job, but a mindset
How Lean and classic BPM can come together to create lasting impact
What it takes to drive change in international organizations
How process improvement and Ironman training are surprisingly similar
And what happens when two process nerds sit down in a beach chair to reflect on structure, flow, and process gaps – even while on vacation
