The New Automation Mindset
The New Era of Automation
The term "automation" often conjures images of replacing manual work with machines. However, in the new era, it encompasses much more. Automation now includes the integration of generative AI and low-code technologies, enabling businesses to achieve unprecedented speed and scale. This new mindset is not just about the technology itself but about rethinking how work is organized around it.
Companies that embrace this new automation mindset view automation as a way to enhance, rather than replace, human capabilities. These organizations thrive on change and leverage AI to create more resilient and adaptable systems.
"Companies with the right mindset apply the advances in automation and generative AI to become unstoppable." - Vijay Tella
The Process Mindset
The process mindset focuses on understanding and optimizing the interconnected tasks that constitute a business. Rather than viewing tasks in isolation, it emphasizes systems thinking to see how they fit into the larger organizational context.
