This book is an indispensable guide for executives, programme leaders, and business owners on maximising value from automation and digital transformation. It provides a real-world journey map of automation, from RPA through to intelligent automation, with a focus on practical strategy and management principles intended to help seize the trillions of dollars that are still being left on the table by companies that have not yet made this leap. Though grounded on the research and advisory work of the author team, this book offers clear eyed, easy to read advice for avoiding the ‘transformation bog’ where many organisations find themselves, struggling to maintain their strategy in an environment that feels increasingly dynamic and confusing. This book is not blinded by the brilliant new technology and hones in on what works and what distracts. It provides a total value of ownership framework for navigation and identifies seven core digital capabilities required for success. Ultimately a book for realists rather than digital idealists, it will be a vital resource for professionals who must chart a course to verifiable business performance improvement through digital enterprise empowerment amid often conflicting priorities.

Functional Automation and Digital Transformation By: Dr. Vipin K Suri Eliminating the need for manual intervention in complex or repetitive business processes can have a positive impact on operations. By automating certain decisions, organizations can not only accelerate process workflows, but also improve the accuracy and consistency of the results. Digital process automation is fundamental to delivering better customer experiences that fully meet user expectations. Digitization of back-office services, primarily handled by business support functions, is underway. Shared Services organizations manage and deliver business and administrative support services common to business units. These support services are primarily focused on functions such as Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, Purchasing & Supply Chain, and IT. By incorporating digital automation and transformation technologies, such as Business Process Management (BPM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Intelligent Automation (IA) and Blockchain into the operations, organizations can streamline processes and increase operational efficiencies.

This book is for strategists0́4leaders, managers, entrepreneurs0́4who are so caught up in the daily pressures of business that they're missing key signals of their future reality. It's like driving a car heads down, staring at the dashboard, rather than heads up, looking through the windshield. We need to do both. The book is devoted to the practice of sensing, or scanning the horizon for signs of emerging trends. The sooner we see them, the better our response.Each chapter starts with a set of signals0́4data we observed that, taken together, helped us to reveal a trend. The impact of new technology on strategy is a theme of the book, and each chapter looks at how organizations are using new technologies to their advantage.The goal is to spark meaningful conversations within organizations: How could we participate in the collaborative economy? What could our CIO and our CMO be doing to drive strategy, innovation, and revenue growth? What could we do to leverage the Internet of Things and intelligent automation as catalysts of invention? Could we use MOOCs as pivots for corporate training, recruiting, and marketing? How might technology transform the manufacturing process, our supply chain, and the knowledge work that we do? Could we take advantage of the renaissance in domestic energy (oil and gas)? What could we be doing to counter cyber crime? What is our organization doing to tune into signals of emerging trends that may be relevant to us?In an environment where the pace of change is accelerating, sensing has become an essential discipline for all organizations. No matter your role in an organization, sensing emerging trends can make you more effective and more valuable in your work. If you've been working too heads-down lately and feel overwhelmed by data and deadlines, then this book is for you. It's a quick read designed to give you a heads up on your horizon.
