The Automation Governance Playbook: Practical Advice for Managing Your Automation Roadmap

We are entering a new era of enterprise automation, thanks to the introduction of robotic process automation (RPA) combined with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The tantalizing prospect for business leaders is a balanced workforce of human and digital workers that will expedite value delivery.

To be successful in exploiting RPA, senior executives must identify and then deal with impeding roadblocks at the outset of the automation journey, just as organizations have done with their enactment of cloud-first strategies during the past decade.

The implementation of successful automation pilots and scale-ups relies on financial investment, strong technical and business skills, and carefully crafted partnerships with external vendors.”
