Environmental health and Safety management

SCM, procurement, financing, insurance

As a very young start up most things are still done in spreadsheets! We use some workflow tools, like Jira for Service / Help Desk / Operations / IT and Salesforce (poorlyadopted / ignored by the sales team), but I wouldn't call them process automation in the pure sense. I don't have experience of what finance are using. We have recentlyadopted Expensify, which has automated our expenses process, and that has been widely adopted. We use AppRiver for our email and spam services, and that is universallyused.

12 Other (please specify) 29 9%

13 None at this time 7 2%

Not able to get time from domain experts to contribute to automation

Culture, not understood in the organisation

securities/roles

Insistence on complex processes instead of simplification to automate

To many specialized and complex processes automated

lack of close relationship between business and IT, poor deliverable quality that request a significant amount of reworks.

no third party tools allowed

applying automation to disparate domains

Obsolescence of existing tools

Leadership buy in

Globalization vs. localization

weak alignment of governance

cost of implimentation

few standardized job procedures suitable for automatization

As a start up, we are still defining our business processes, without any thought of automation. We extensively use the wiki, dropbox, google docs for collaboration of processdefinition, but most of the time a process may be created and then not used the next time we face a similar challenge, or immediately changed. In many places there is noprocess.

external (enterprise) processes antiquated, inefficient

Cost/Budget

Politics and resource limitations

Test and release management

Business understanding of its benefits

lack of communication

Transitioning from legacy processes

hundreds or thousands of potential variables in a process

Any of the above, depending on the group and project

nothing is in place it is a long road

Time to implement

lack of empathy/understanding of those automating

Vision: The people who design and build the automation I find have no vision of what they are trying to build. They just automate the current process and not think about what isneeded and how to improve. This is at all levels from the very top to the bottom of the organization.

Bifurcated processes (some automated, some manual)

Change to processes is ad-hoc, and where a process has an element of workflow automation (e.g. service management, proposal management, software change managementin Jira workflows), the automation is light weight and loose, so we don't try to change it too much, because of the cost of change.
