It’s been a whole year, and we’re still in the throes of double disruption: global pandemic and recession. Both forces catapulting us into a brave, new automated world. And now we have the data to prove it. Millions of jobs are gone, and they’re probably not coming back, screams The Washington Post.   Anxious employees and employers alike all want to know, “What is…

Just as technology roadmaps are essential for successful digital transformation, human roadmaps are essential for successful automation. Maps tell you where you are, where you’re going, and how to get there. What skills do your people have right now? Which skills will your staff need for the future?

Now you’re embarking upon your first robotic process automation (RPA) project. It may be your first rodeo, but you can still learn from other companies’ mistakes. Save yourself (and your tech partner) time, money and frustration by sidestepping these common RPA pitfalls.

Our professional lives look a lot different than they did 6 months ago. Mid-career disruption is certainly challenging, but imagine global pandemic disrupting your career before it even gets off the ground.
