Intelligent Automation (Phase 1)

Deployment of bots to manually intensive processes across our business to improve timeliness, efficiency and accuracy of manual processes through automation.

Key deliverables

  • Automation of manually intensive workflows and processes

Target outcomes

  • Increased productivity from existing FTE
  • Improved customer experience from faster response time
  • Increased consistency and quality of data

Measures of success

  • Increase in value-add productivity from front line teams
  • Improvement in customer satisfaction scores resulting from more efficient and effective service delivery
  • Increase in data quality, completeness and accuracy

Stakeholder Engagement

We have held walkthroughs for users to demonstrate the manual effort, process steps and systems as part of a process, assessing the complexity and time to complete as part of a benefits case (e.g. FTE (Full time equivalent) saving, strategic benefits & non-financial benefits) with an outline of the technical approach to automate the task. Stakeholders will then be involved in deeper dives into the process and data flows to build a Business Requirements Document. For larger automations where there was no existing process, or the process needed redesign before automation was possible, we held exploratory workshops working with them to design apps and/or bots to suit the requirement
