Your new channel to collect ideas by democratizing and optimizing the automation idea pipeline
After automating all quick wins or low-hanging fruits in your organization, it is crucial to have an incoming flow of new processes for automation to scale successfully. To attain an incoming flow and convert to opportunities, it is essential to collect, define and analyze ideas in an efficient and structured way. It can be demanding to fill your automation pipeline since the automation experts in your company rarely also possess deep knowledge about your company processes. Instead, you want to engage your organization and have an employee-led idea generation approach since they are the actual process experts.
Historically the most common methods for collecting project ideas to automate have been to either use a process and/or task mining approach or to have automation experts go out to discover automation opportunities themselves. However, these options are very time-consuming and costly and requires deep expertise within automation. With this short article, we are highlighting TurboticOS new Idea module as a third alternative that is less costly, less time-consuming, and let's you capture the ideas straight from the process owners themselves.
The Idea module offers a new way of collecting, defining, and analyzing ideas for automation projects. It is a combination of process knowledge and data assessment, where the skills and expertise from the business are captured as data for the technology assessment. The Idea module is an employee-driven approach to opportunity identification where ideas are submitted by a business user or process owner with process-specific knowledge. The module management tool has a straightforward interface and asks ten questions to define the essential data for a high-level assessment. Further on, after collecting and defining the ideas from the business, a high-level analysis of the idea is generated through an automation feasibility score. The score is based on the ten questions and recommends a proposed solution technology.
This module gives you everything required to collect, define, analyze, and track new ideas for automation that can be converted to a Discovery Project for detailed analysis.
