First, what is RPA?

Robotic Process Automation (RPA), also referred to as Robotic Transformation and Robotic Revolution, refers to the emerging form of process automation technology based on software robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) workers.

In traditional automation, core activities are still performed by humans, but they are assisted by automation technologies. However, in RPA, we find activities are now being fully "outsourced" to "robots," without the need of any human participation in the majority of the cases.

RPA also has wide applicability across the organizations, including Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Customer Service, Compliance, and IT/MIS. Furthermore, most organizations adopting RPA have not laid off employees. Rather, many workers have been redeployed to do more interesting and fulfilling work.

RPA represents a tremendous opportunity for organizations to increase performance, improve productivity, decrease costs, among a plethora of other financial and non-financial business benefits. The benefits from RPA are immediate, plentiful, and significant—and can be grouped into 3 core areas:

1. Improved Employee and Customer Satisfaction
2. Accelerated Productivity Gains
3. Enhanced Compliance

These 3 RPA benefit areas are elaborated on in this RPA PowerPoint presentation. Of the Digital Transformation initiatives your organization may be assessing, RPA typically represents the lowest hanging fruit with ease of deployment, while realizing fast, measurable, and tangible benefits.

This Robotic Process Automation PPT presentation also introduces a 6-phase approach to RPA Deployment:

1. Define RPA Perimeter
2. Optimize Existing Processes
3. Choose the Appropriate RPA Solution
4. Define the Required Span of Control
5. Study Impacts on the Target Operating Model (TOM)
6. Build a Deployment Plan

Additional topics discussed in this RPA PPT download include Artificial Superintelligence, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Technological Singularity, TOM Analysis, among others. This RPA presentation (PPT) provides an introduction to the topic of Robotic Process Automation with slides you can easily customize and incorporate into your own business presentations.

The presentation delves into the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on RPA, highlighting its transformative potential. It also discusses the role of AI advancements in enhancing RPA capabilities and displacing human roles.

TOPIC FAQ

What is Robotic Process Automation and how does it differ from traditional automation?

RPA is process automation driven by software robots and AI workers that can perform activities without human participation in many cases. Traditional automation typically leaves humans performing core activities assisted by tools; RPA enables activities to be outsourced to robots using software robots and AI workers.

What business benefits can organizations expect from RPA deployments?

The overview groups RPA benefits into 3 core areas: improved employee and customer satisfaction, accelerated productivity gains, and enhanced compliance. It also notes benefits tend to be fast and measurable, with many organizations redeploying staff rather than laying them off, grouped into 3 core benefit areas.

Which corporate functions are most commonly targeted for RPA?

The document identifies broad applicability across Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Customer Service, Compliance, and IT/MIS, indicating those functions are commonly targeted for automation. These functions are explicitly listed as RPA use cases in the overview: Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Customer Service, Compliance, and IT/MIS.

What are the typical phases of an RPA deployment program?

The presentation outlines a six-phase deployment approach: Define RPA Perimeter; Optimize Existing Processes; Choose the Appropriate RPA Solution; Define the Required Span of Control; Study Impacts on the Target Operating Model (TOM); and Build a Deployment Plan, reflecting a six-phase approach.

How should an organization approach choosing an RPA solution?

The overview highlights solution selection as a discrete phase; organizations should assess fit to targeted processes, deployment ease, and governance needs as part of a structured evaluation. The selection step is captured in the methodology as Phase 3: Choose the Appropriate RPA Solution.

What timeline and effort should I expect for an initial RPA pilot?

The document characterizes RPA as often offering ease of deployment with fast, measurable benefits, implying pilots can be relatively quick if scoped and optimized. Recommended practice in the presentation is to follow a 6-phase deployment plan to scope, optimize, and roll out pilots.

After a merger, how should I prioritize which back-office processes to automate first?

The recommended approach is to first define the RPA perimeter and optimize existing processes to reduce exceptions, then assess TOM impacts and governance before full rollout. Flevy's Robotic Process Automation (RPA) presentation lays out this stepwise, 6-phase approach for prioritization and piloting.

Are slide toolkits useful for presenting an RPA business case and deployment plan?

Slide decks can summarize RPA concepts, benefits, and a phased deployment approach for stakeholders and be customized into executive presentations. Flevy's Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is presented as a 36-slide PPTX by PPT Lab intended for that purpose, specifically as a 36-slide PPTX.
