8 Tips to Orchestrate Hyperautomation in Your Organisation
When launching hyperautomation in your organisation, here are some tips and best practices to consider:
- Develop clear business objectives: Clearly define your organisation’s goals and objectives. Identify the specific processes, tasks or areas where automation can bring the most value.
- Take a collaborative approach: Involve employees from various departments to gather insights and ideas. Engage cross-functional teams, including IT, operations and business units, to ensure a holistic approach to automation execution.
- Start small and scale gradually: Begin with pilot projects or smaller automation initiatives to validate the effectiveness of your automation strategy. Once successful, expand and scale automation efforts across the organisation.
- Build an automation roadmap: Develop a roadmap that outlines the sequence of automation initiatives, prioritises processes and sets achievable milestones. This roadmap will guide your organisation through the implementation process.
- Empower your employees: Provide proper training and support to employees affected by automation. Help them understand the benefits and how automation can enhance their work. Encourage upskilling and reskilling to ensure a smooth transition.
- Consider change management: Execute effective change management practices to address any potential resistance or challenges from employees. Clearly communicate the purpose of automation, involve employees in decision-making and provide ongoing support throughout the transition.
- Foster a culture of innovation: Hyperautomation is not a one-time project; it’s an ongoing journey toward enterprise digital transformation. Encourage a culture of innovation and continuous improvement within your organisation. Empower employees to identify automation opportunities and contribute ideas for process optimisation.
- Demand strong data governance: Data is an enterprise-wide asset that plays a crucial role in automation and decision-making. Establish policies and mechanisms to control and protect it.
