Firstly, Justine and I would like to thank everyone who was able to join us on the day for our face to face Digital and Operational Excellence network session. Special call outs and thank you to Paresh, David, Dave, and Jonathan for their fantastic contributions on the day and to Lubna for hosting the event at the EG group.
Key takeaways from myself and Justine: -
· Looking at what tool we have today before looking for others
· Agile taking in small chunks
· The results you can see from robots if done right
Summary of the day: -
Paresh from ROLABOTIC
· Gave a great insight into the different types of ‘automation’
· Some great tips on how to approach automation GPS (Get Process Send)
· Demo showing how some automation is at our finger tips
David and Dave from UK Shared Business Services
· ‘Why automate’ was the question, get the processes right first
· Small manageable chunks using an agile approach
Jonathan from Kier Group
· Touched on 5 elements of Digital Leadership
· Spoke about watching out for ‘cyber attacks’
· 90’000 PO’s in 7 weeks which manually would have taken two people over 7 years
What a fantastic day it was!
Final thank you to Lynsey and Vicky for supporting myself, Justine and Nichola.
Look forward to seeing you all at our next event on the 3rd October. If there are any specific topics you would like to see at the next event, please let myself, Justine and Nichola know.
Thank you
Kirsty, Justine & Nichola
