As organizations, most notably enterprise organizations, prioritize their digital transformation initiatives, the spotlight turns to process automation as a means to enhance efficiency across various functional areas. However, before automation can take center stage, it requires a concerted effort involving automation teams, functional departments, governance, IT, audit, and more. Furthermore, before any functional area process or processes can be automated, there are many steps that must be taken between automation teams, the functional area in need of an automation roll-out, as well as many other parties, such as governance and oversight, IT, audit, and much more, so to ensure program feasibility prior to launch.

In this session, topics of discussion will include, yet will not be limited to:

• Working effectively with various areas of the business, so to help identify which processes could, should, or should not be automated
• Identifying, reviewing, and analyzing current and future automation program rollouts
• Challenges and solutions of collaborating with various functional area leaders, with respect to determining if a potential automation program meets the required technical, infrastructure, workforce, audit, governance, and other business requirements
