Getting on the Right Path to Intelligent Automation
Download this Executive Briefing to learn about getting on the right path to effective and efficient Intelligent Automation.
Starting the Journey
The first phase in the journey is planning, in which you must determine the ways in which intelligent automation (IA) can help you and whether your company is prepared to accommodate a digital workforce. You must develop your strategy, identify benefits that IA could bring, and select a technology partner to help incorporate IA. Key components of strategy should include building awareness of automation technology within the company and creating your initial digital workforce org chart.
People First Approach
You then have to confirm that IA programs are indeed applicable and begin your pilot programs, selecting your initial use cases, observing preliminary results, and measuring whatever benefits you can see. You must set up your basic infrastructure, begin acquiring skill in IA technology and re-training your workers with new, more advanced skills that they will be able to use as a result of the freedom provided by robotic automation.
As if You were Hiring More People
The first major challenge can be a need of a roadmap or well-developed strategy. A robust IA strategy is necessary when it comes to determining potential outcomes, finding potential fits within the company for IA tools, and executing the choices necessary to maximize the use of automation. Change management strategy is also needed when it comes to dividing roles, assuring company-wide buy-in, and resisting push back that may come from a skepticism of new technology.
