Automation programmes stall when teams start with the hardest process. Start with frequent, rules-based, low-risk tasks instead.
- Score each task by frequency × time × error cost
- Discount by exception rate and system access complexity
- Pick the top 10 and ship them in two-week sprints
Typical first wins
Vendor bill capture, payment reminders, lead routing, leave approvals and daily KPI digests consistently come out on top.
