BACK TO THE FUTURE: BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION AND THE FUTURE OF WORK THROUGH RPA Robotics Process Automation (RPA) is a major disrupting technology. 62% of CEOs expect this technology to completely disrupt their business within the next 5 years, according to a PwC CEO Survey. The concept of 'Digital Labor' is seeping into the lexicon of executive business speech as they look to adapt their operating models to automate a broad spectrum of business processes on demand. As RPA 'BOTS' mimic the actions of humans, it follows that there will be displacement of human workers as a result. Therefore, with the increased adoption and criticality of the new processes with BOTS, there is a great imperative to develop and deploy robots that exceed the level of productivity and quality as humans are replace. This presentation will focus on the current state of the market and the impact of RPA on business operation, workforce development, quality and compliance imperatives. Forward-thinking companies need to understand this disruptive technology and how it will impact today's workforce. The presentation will explore how companies can unlock the full potential of automation using robotic process automation throughout the enterprise. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs.
