In the past several years, organizations across all industries have begun embracing emerging technologies to drive Digital Transformation programs. Of these technologies, among the most prevalent are Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial intelligence (AI).
Likewise, RPA and AI are taking up jobs which were in the past earmarked only for smart humans. Driverless cars, automated check-in kiosks at airports, and autopilots steering the aircrafts are just few examples of how automation is transforming our world.
The main question is how automation will impact our work in future. Should we anticipate benefits—e.g. efficiency gains, quality of life improvements—or dread further disruption of established business and job cuts?
This presentation presents a detailed overview of the 4 key areas that will be most impacted by Robotic Process Automation:
1. Workplace Activities
2. (Re)definition of Work
3. High-wage Jobs
4. Creativity and Meaning
Adoption, pace of automation development, and readiness of organizational leadership in redefining processes & roles are critical factors to consider before investing in automation.
The slide deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT delves into the nuanced differences between traditional automation and RPA, highlighting how RPA can handle more complex, rule-based tasks previously reserved for human intervention. It provides concrete examples of automation applications across various sectors, such as customer service, IT, and healthcare, demonstrating the broad applicability and transformative potential of RPA.
The presentation also explores the symbiotic relationship between RPA and AI, emphasizing how advancements in AI will further enhance RPA capabilities. This synergy is expected to lead to significant shifts in job roles and the displacement of certain human functions. This comprehensive guide is essential for executives looking to understand the strategic implications of RPA and how to leverage it for competitive advantage.

This PPT slide titled "(Re)definition of Work – Overview" presents a comprehensive analysis of how automation is reshaping job roles across various occupations. It begins by highlighting that only about 5% of occupations can be fully automated with the current technology. This statistic underscores the limited scope of complete automation, suggesting that while many tasks can be automated, the majority of jobs still require human involvement.
The details section elaborates on the potential benefits of automation, particularly in enhancing human productivity. It emphasizes that automation allows individuals, even in high-paying roles, to concentrate on more valuable tasks rather than routine activities. This shift necessitates a reevaluation of job roles and responsibilities, indicating that organizations must adapt to these changes by redefining their workforce strategies.
The examples provided illustrate practical applications of automation in different fields. For instance, loan officers can process more loans by focusing on exceptions rather than paperwork, while doctors can use machine learning to prioritize complex diagnoses. Similarly, lawyers are leveraging data mining to streamline their case reviews. These examples serve to demonstrate the tangible impact of automation on improving efficiency and effectiveness in various professions.
The concluding remark notes that approximately 30% of specific activities within 60% of occupations are currently automatable. This statistic reinforces the idea that while full automation is not feasible for most roles, significant portions of work can be automated, leading to a transformative effect on job functions and organizational processes. Overall, the slide effectively communicates the critical need for businesses to adapt to the evolving landscape of work driven by automation.
This PPT slide presents an overview of the impacts of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the workforce, emphasizing that automation will not immediately replace entire occupations. Instead, it highlights that specific activities within jobs will be automated after a transformation of business processes. The slide opens with examples of automation in everyday life, such as driverless cars and automated check-in kiosks, illustrating the pervasive nature of this technology.
Key challenges associated with automation are outlined, including potential job losses, data confidentiality issues, and regulatory implications. These concerns necessitate careful consideration by organizations as they navigate the integration of RPA and AI into their operations. The slide poses a critical question about the future impact of automation on work, prompting leaders to weigh potential benefits like efficiency gains against the risks of disruption to established roles.
The research cited from McKinsey identifies 4 primary areas that RPA is expected to affect significantly: Workplace Activities, High-wage Jobs, the (Re)definition of Work, and Creativity and Meaning. Each of these areas represents a facet of the workforce that will undergo transformation, suggesting that RPA will not only streamline low-skill tasks, but will also necessitate a reevaluation of high-wage roles. This indicates a broader shift in how work is defined and valued in the context of increasing automation.
The slide concludes with a reminder that the implications of RPA extend beyond low-skill positions, emphasizing the need for organizations to rethink roles and responsibilities in light of these technological advancements. This insight is crucial for executives considering the strategic integration of automation into their business models.
This PPT slide presents a visual analysis of the relationship between wages and the potential for automation across various job roles. It features a scatter plot where the x-axis represents hourly wages, while the y-axis indicates the degree of automability, suggesting how susceptible jobs are to being automated. Each point on the graph corresponds to a specific job, with notable examples labeled, including "File clerks," "Landscaping and grounds keeping workers," and "Chief executives."
The overall trend depicted in the graph indicates a negative correlation: as wages increase, the potential for automation tends to decrease. This suggests that higher-wage roles, such as chief executives, are less likely to be automated compared to lower-wage positions. The clustering of data points around lower wages highlights that many jobs with lower compensation are more susceptible to automation technologies.
The note at the bottom emphasizes that while there is a correlation between wage levels and automation potential, wage alone does not serve as a definitive predictor of automability. This insight is crucial for organizations considering investments in automation technologies. It implies that decision-makers should not solely rely on wage data when evaluating which roles to automate. Instead, a more nuanced understanding of job functions and their specific tasks is necessary.
This analysis can guide executives in strategic workforce planning and technology investments, ensuring that automation efforts align with both operational efficiency and workforce dynamics. Understanding these relationships can help in making informed decisions about which roles to prioritize for automation and how to manage the transition effectively.
