The key to managing automated processes

Due to explosive growth in robotics and AI automated processes are quickly becoming an essential part of business. Wide adoption of automated processes creates significant challenges for business management.

Automated processes are both simpler and more complex to manage, compared to manual processes. Simpler, because automation is void of any personal attitude or bias of human workers. More complex, exactly for the same reason of absolute impersonation and concentrated responsibility.

In case of an error in manual process there is always a space for an additional control and adjustment of task by a worker. In contrast, automated tasks run autonomously and on far higher speeds. It makes a mission of controlling automated tasks far more stressful and dangerous. Any occasional error on a single process step can randomly propagate the whole running process chain causing catastrophic damages for the whole business.

These elevated control requirements for automated processes make it impossible to run wide scale enterprise automation without a detailed business model in place. Professional BPM and consistent EA are cornerstones in the success of process automation in any organization.

Agile Processes and Customer Experience

Despite all fashionable favor, agile processes are a disaster in terms of customer outcomes . Imagine that you ordered a fridge but received a dishwasher instead. It is unlikely that you will be happy on this sort of creative agility. Customer process must be as precise and reliable as a Swiss clock. It is another story that customers always do their best to break this clock's precision in every possible and impossible manner: change their mind ten times a day, disappear at the moment of delivery, break supplied goods and claim a refund etc. And yet, customers highly appreciate flexibility of a company in response to their instant whims. We must not confuse agility of customers with precision of the company in response to agile client demands. Company can achieve accuracy and flexibility in serving clients only through rigorous process approach with detailed mapping of all possible client scenarios. Naturally, this detailed work-through may yield dozens and even hundredths of co
