Taking a Strategic Approach to IT Automation and AI – Unlocking True Business Value
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, IT automation is a critical driver of efficiency and innovation. To increase competitive differentiation, CIOs must make automation a strategic imperative to ensure the business can harness its full potential. But what are some of the best approaches for CIOs to approach IT automation strategically rather than treat automation on a project-by-project basis? How can organisations rein in a web of tools and tech debt to mitigate long-term complexity?
Join this Town Hall to discuss:
- How CIOs can best demonstrate results of successful automation and AI projects, showcasing results to the business
- Prioritising those automation projects that will add the most value across the organisation
- Best practices for developing a culture of automation
