Lean RPA (The Course)

Course Info

This course includes 1 attempt.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is disrupting businesses of all shapes, sizes and industries. It is the creating the foundations of a Digital Workforce that will increase customer service opportunities, accelerate growth, cut costs and increase quality. But data shows that almost half of organisations that embark on an RPA project for the first time fail.

Solving this tragic situation does not require something new to be invented, but for businesses to remember to utilise many of the skills they already have. Lean Six Sigma and RPA are a powerful combination that will provide the principles, tools and techniques to accelerate, scale and sustain your own automation journey.

If you are new to Lean Thinking, this course will cover all the basics, using RPA as the example to demonstrate how to apply these techniques in practice. Starting with understanding your own business needs, growing roles and responsibilities, through to the creation of a centre of excellence (CoE) to expand and sustain delivery.

If you are new to RPA, this course will introduce the topic, the vendors, practical examples and provide a detailed comparison of their different capabilities - essential to matching up with your own business needs.

A practical solution will be developed, demonstrating how lean tools can optimise your process for automation, and mitigate the key risks associated with introducing disruptive technologies. You will have the opportunity to see the same solution implemented in 3 different tools, highlighting the capability differences that are essential to selecting the right vendor to meet your business needs.

Lean Six Sigma has a worldwide impact. RPA is growing at at terrific rate. The growth of the digital workforce is here. From operational staff to executives, this course will provide you with the foundations to start, scale and sustain your automation practice, while avoiding the pitfalls that befall 50% of others attempting to the same.
