Architecting a Data Strategy to Advance RPA
Thursday, 15 & 22 June | 10:00 AM – 2:30 PM AEST | Online
Training Overview
Connecting the dots between objectives, capability and transformation in Government
By 2024, 75% of public sector organisations are expected to have at least three hyperautomation initiatives launched or underway. RPA is a critical part of this modernisation journey.
This focus on automation will come as no surprise to public sector executives and change agents. RPA has been a embraced on a large scale because of its ability to streamline and optimise processes, freeing up staff to work on more complex value-added activities. The projected ROI of automation initiatives has long lasting positive impacts, including improved data quality and user experience.
However, it is estimated 30-50% of RPA projects fail globally. Poorly defined business processes; insufficient understanding of business capability, lack of governance, stakeholder resistance and low adoption and lack of flexibility are to blame.
