However – this gloomy viewpoint often oversimplifies a complex, multi-layered topic, especially as it applies to the future of enterprise knowledge work.

In this session, we will get to the heart of transition planning, organizational redesign, skill gap closure, operational alignment and communications management.

4:15 - 4:45 pm From here to Eternity: How to Think about Cognitive Automation Thomas Helfrich, Senior Director, ISG When companies take the leap into “Automation World,” they typically arrive first in RPA Land, where they can easily configure software to automate repeatable and mundane processes. Extending these automation initiatives to reap the benefits of cognitive technologies changes a purely back-office process efficiency play into a true digital-labor initiative. But first you have to cross the Data Sea – where dark data is surely lurking – and you have to navigate some unchartered territory. What are the true capabilities out there and what is mere marketing hype? Where is money most prudently spent? How long will the journey toward efficiency and improved performance take? This session will explore how to prepare for the automation journey – how to set expectations and how to identify and overcome challenges. |
