Automating Processes: Finding the Right Starting Point

Why This Matters

Use a simple scoring model to prioritise automation candidates and avoid costly starts. This topic usually becomes critical when operations depend on it and accountability is unclear.

What Usually Goes Wrong

Most teams rely on assumptions, fragmented ownership and undocumented exceptions. That causes delays, avoidable risk and expensive rework.

What Good Looks Like

Define ownership, document the baseline, implement in a controlled sequence and validate with measurable checks.

Practical Next Steps

Start with one focused scope, remove the biggest bottleneck first, then establish repeatable standards for the next iteration.
