Using AI in an enterprise has emerged as a transformative force, promising increased efficiency, enhanced productivity, and cost savings. However, like all complex initiatives, automation projects are not immune to challenges and failures. From difficulties ensuring data compliance when using Generative AI, obstacles scaling automation projects, technical hurdles and inadequate planning to resistance from employees and insufficient stakeholder alignment, these projects often encounter barriers which can impede their success. Such setbacks not only impact individual organisations but also have a broader influence on the automation technology landscape as a whole. 

Failures serve as valuable lessons, driving innovation, improved methodologies, and a deeper understanding of the critical factors which contribute to successful automation implementation. By recognising and addressing these challenges, IA leaders can navigate a path towards greater maturity, scalability, and widespread adoption of IA solutions. 

Ahead of the Intelligent Automation Exchange Europe 2023 (November 27-28, London), we spoke exclusively to Hans Brueck, Director of Digital Transformation, TE Connectivity, about a previous automation project which they consider to be a failure, and how they identified and assessed the problems that led to this. This interview also uncovers the key lessons they learnt and how these have influenced subsequent automation projects, the key factors which differentiate a successful automation project from a failure, as well as top advice to increase leaders’ chances of automation success, to help you transition from automation failure to resounding success.

In the run-up to the Intelligent Automation Exchange, we interviewed one of the series' most influential members of the expert speaker faculty - Fausto Artico, Worldwide R&D Tech Head and Director of Innovation & Data Science at GlaxoSmithKline.

Fausto outlines how to manage and measure the success of a change management process within your organisation, the skills and capabilities required to create a change-ready culture, how to effectively operationalise an adoption plan, with a word on the change management naysayers.

Securing investment for IA is a critical step for organisations seeking to enhance their productivity, optimise their processes, and remain competitive in the market. However, securing investment for IA can be challenging, as it requires decision-makers to be able to clearly define, measure, and secure ROI. 

With IA rapidly evolving and new technologies emerging, securing investment requires careful consideration of the organisation’s strategy, priorities, and long-term goals. Despite these challenges, the potential benefits of IA investments, including cost savings, improved efficiency, and enhanced productivity, make it a highly attractive option for decision-makers. Therefore, understanding how to secure investment in IA is crucial for executives looking to capitalise on the benefits of automation. 

Ahead of the Intelligent Automation Exchange 2023, we spoke exclusively to Daniella Grayson, VP, Global Technology & Digital Enablement, Thomson Reuters about how she successfully secured IA investment for Thomson Reuter’s editorial & customer processes to help you discover how you can truly define, measure and secure ROI from your IA investments.

We sat down with one of our expert speakers from the Intelligent Automation series, Assurant's Director of Science, Yingying Kang. She discussed her role at Assurant, considerations and challenges associated with implementing a digital workforce, as well as any advice and potential barriers of such an endeavor. Yingying also covers off her predicted trends of the digital workforce coming in the next 3-5 years.

Now that businesses are further along in their automation journey and are starting to see how automation technologies can significantly augment and out-perform their original strategies, companies must take a holistic approach and realise that intelligent automation (IA) technologies are not just tools to execute a digital transformation strategy, but they can truly drive a strategy. However, with technology-driven business models rapidly changing, it is increasingly difficult for businesses to move beyond basic automation and leverage high-end, cognitive technologies, to undergo end-to-end business transformation. 

Ahead of this year’s Intelligent Automation Exchange, we spoke exclusively to Chad Aronson, Global Head of Intelligent Automation COE at Uber and Colleen Schuller, Vice President, Head of Change, Capability, and Learning, HR Transformation at GSK, about how they utilised IA to scale their digital transformation, to help you unlock the true value of your IA technologies and successfully scale your digital transformation.

We interviewed four leaders from the automation space to divulge their insights into their company’s automation strategy, automation journey, the impact this has on their business, the role their solution providers play in their automation, and much more.

We interviewed a number of industry thought leaders responsible for their company’s digital workplace strategy and asked them to walk us through their digital workplace journey through the past decade and to outline their predictions for the new decade. They each provided a brief overview of how the digital workplace has, and continues to evolve before moving on to the three elements that make up the digital workplace landscape: Technology, Processes and People.

We had the chance to hear from Brett Caldon, CEO of Workgrid Software, and gain expert insights into how IT plays a significant role in employee experience and the future of the digital workplace. Brett is Head of Business Operations for Workgrid Software, a tech start-up and wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Mutual Insurance.
