Anticipate the objections that automation return on investment will attract internally and answer them in advance.
Measuring Return on Investment from Enterprise Intelligent Automation Initiatives
A concise, decision-focused programme covering automation return on investment end to end.
Course Overview
Most organisations now hold more data about automation return on investment than they can actually act on. The distance between a working prototype of return on investment and a system the business can depend on is where most budgets disappear. Participants gain a realistic view of what the digital and data-driven work discipline costs and what it returns. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for automation return on investment. The professional literature on this area of digital and data-driven work converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. A common pattern is strong design of return on investment paired with weak follow-through. Participants leave with a method for automation return on investment, not a set of opinions about it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make return on investment hard in practice. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within digital and data-driven work will be evidenced six months later.
