Exclusive Expert Session

The Process Superlearner - From Static Processes to a Living Digital Twin.

Our CEO Oliver Bendig will be at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo™ 2026 in Barcelona. Don't miss the opportunity to hear him live during his 20-minute expert session and gain new perspectives.

Over 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail to deliver ROI: not because of a technology gap, but a learning gap. Markets move in weeks, regulation in quarters, and customer expectations in a single interaction, yet most organizations still map and reinvent their processes in workshops that take years to complete. In this session, Oliver Bendig, CEO of GBTEC, introduces the Process Superlearner: a sovereign, governed "System of Context" that builds a live, continuously learning digital twin of your organization: one that understands, improves, and reinvents how work actually gets done, at the speed of AI, without ceding control. Every proposed change is explained, evidenced, simulated, approved, and reversible. Discover how leading enterprises are moving beyond static process software and generic AI co-pilots toward human-led AI automation that compounds value over time, and why the organizations that learn as fast as the world changes will outlast those that can't.
