Topic Abstract
How easy is it to implement RPA projects one after the other at scale? This is a question that keeps most of the executives awake at night. It is possible provided all the right things are in place for smooth implementation. Due diligence and monotonous application of certain principles and taking the right actions from Discovery and Scoping through to Delivery will facilitate smooth implementation of RPA initiatives.
Topic Abstract
Intelligent Robotic Process Automation represents a challenging intersection between People and Technology. From fears of loss of jobs, robots taking over to equally the fear (and evidence) of low and slow returns on the I/RPA investments and mismatched expectations between business and technology.
In this session Mark will draw on his many years of experience in large corporate enterprises, having held roles as Chief Operating Officer, Investment Committee Chair, Program Director, Leader and Executive Sponsor of multiple change and transformation initiatives. Mark has also spent many years working in the areas of Emotional Intelligence and Human Centred Leadership and the underlying factors that drive how people operate, behave and collaborate across organisations. What seems to look and sound great on paper and powerpoint, suddenly gets a lot harder when teams of people actually have to execute on the initiatives and get things successfully delivered.
IRPA initiatives have many interested and impacted stakeholders; business, technology, data, risk, marketing, comms, HR, finance … all who play an important part in IRPA projects. When IRPA benefits realisation also often means role and structural change for people across the organisation, the stakes are even higher.
Mark will offer some practical thoughts, tips and tools in helping in the start-up and scaleup of IRPA initiatives and in managing all the different types of stakeholders across today’s typical corporate organisation.
