Training Overview
A Hands-on Guide to Reworking Processes for Not Just a Training Session Optimised Workflow
In June 2022, Gartner predicted that by 2025, 95% of decisions that use data will be at least partially automated.
Automation is also gaining momentum in the Australian Public sector with major agencies making significant technology investments in the space, as reported by Austender in 2021. As these figures indicate, automation is a priority of all businesses, especially in the public sector for its potential to increase efficiency and improve services. However, the biggest challenge for automation is broken processes and buggy systems. As experts say, you can’t automate a broken process!
This course is designed for corporate services professionals in the public sector who are in the midst of or starting off their process automation journey. By focussing on the weakest links in automation, this course will teach you how to pre-empt and prevent failure. It will also provide you with the insights to fix your systems before automation. Our experienced trainer will provide insights to set your project up for success.
