What do you need to succeed in automation projects? We define automation as achieving the desired outcome in the shortest time with the least inputs. But how do you get there? We’ve handled hundreds of projects, and observed many, many combinations of variables of people, resource and technology, so what are the foundations of a successful workflow automation project? Our 3 x formula is: 1. Informed leadership: Does the project have a  customer champion that knows what they are talking about?  An internal champion that intimately knows workflow and business rules is ideal.  If it’s an abstract executive mouthing principles it’s a real danger sign, the bigger the organization the less likely that Exec knows what they are talking about 2. Progressive change: Implement change in a series of changes a) mitigating risk b) bringing people along the journey and c) demonstrating success.  Doing a big bang, roll the dice is an exceedingly risky formula. 3. Positive culture: Remote business leaders enforcing change without bringing their people on the journey is super dangerous.  Involve people, train and enthuse them ensuring benefits are communicated. The funny thing is raw ingredients for success in a project favor small to medium business, the bigger the business the more likely they are to miss the recipe for success.

You can't plan without knowing Engineering capacity. You can't communicate with customers without having accurate delivery timelines. You can't make changes mid project without knowing how it not only affects that project, but everything else downstream as well. You can't simulate thousands of different scenarios that are possible without having the data and tools to do it. With Cardagraph, you can.

The Hidden Key Behind Efficient Automation: Process Simplification!   Let's get back to basics!     In the world of BPM and automation, there's a crucial step often overlooked: process simplification. Before adding layers of technology, we need to ensure the foundations are solid.     🔍 Process Simplification: The First Step Towards Smart Automation. ·      Thorough Analysis: start with a deep evaluation of existing processes. Ask yourself, are they as efficient as possible? ·      Eliminating Unnecessary Complexity: remove any redundant or complicated step. Simplification is the key to efficiency.     🔄 How Simplification Supports Automation: ☞   Clear Foundation: once processes are simplified, automation becomes much more efficient. ☞   Error Reduction: simpler processes mean fewer errors when automated.     🚀 Impact on Leadership: ♦     Better Decisions: Leaders can make more informed decisions when processes are clear and simplified. ♦     Cost Efficiency: Simplifying processes before automation can significantly reduce costs.     In conclusion, simplifying processes is not just a preliminary step; it's the foundation upon which automation success is built. Before diving into the waves of technology, ensure you have a solid base.     Remember! Rushed automation drains more than resources.     "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." - Leonardo da Vinci #operationalexcellence #businesstransformation #processimprovement
