Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the new holy grail of Office Productivity and Business profitability. RPA along with Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Analytics (DA) and Internet of Things (IOT) is considered a quad-horse driven chariot set for glory on the business battlefield. However, a plethora of deadly weapons does not guarantee a win as many find out. Frequently the chariot can get struck in mud, fatigued horses slow it down and disoriented charioteer can spell doom.The right battle strategy and focused soldiers are more important.
Automation is a mere tool in the hands of the corporate change agent. It’s the secret sauce of Organization culture and mindset which drives a clearly articulated digital transformation roadmap to a home run. Success or failure is largely based on how the employees and business partners are aligned to the transformation journey.An Agile culture helps them shrug of their fixed mindsets towards a growth oriented though process where they are willing to experiment and fail in a startup culture.
The end goal of automation should be to help organizations solve business problems by exponential steps, reinvent or revamp new business models and provide acceleration to horizontal value streams (business processes).
This session will attempt to understand how organization culture and mindset can nurture and feed successin an iterative fashionof new automation initiative. It will also explore justification of investment in new automation paradigm by avoiding the traps of incremental improvements and instead focus on innovative and transformational outcomes.
