Why Readiness Matters

Most organisations fail at automation because they start in the wrong place. They buy tools before fixing processes. They automate messy data. They skip governance.

What happens when you skip it

PROCESS FAILURES

Unclear processes → Automation scales confusion

→ Workflows route incorrectly

→ Constant manual intervention

→ £50k spent on a system nobody uses

DATA DISASTERS

Messy data → Automation makes wrong decisions at speed

→ Incorrect invoices sent

→ Wrong people contacted

→ Compliance risks and reputation damage

PEOPLE RESISTANCE

No buy-in → Teams create workarounds

→ Parallel spreadsheets "just in case"

→ System technically works but ROI = 0%

GOVERNANCE GAPS

No standards → Automation fragments quietly

→ Teams build conflicting automations

→ No one knows what's automated or who owns it

→ Risk scales faster than value

TECHNOLOGY BARRIERS

Poor integration → Every automation requires custom work

→ Systems are unreliable (automations break constantly)

→ IT becomes a bottleneck

→ Total cost skyrockets

CHANGE OVERLOAD

Too many initiatives → The organisation can't absorb

→ Automation gets deprioritised

→ Half-implemented systems create more chaos

→ Teams lose trust in change entirely

Automation Readiness — Before You Build

We don’t start with tools.
We make sure your organisation is ready for them.

1. Readiness Assessment (Start Here)

A focused diagnostic to determine whether you should automate now — and what would fail if you did.

You leave with:

• Clarity across six readiness areas

• Identified early warning signals

• Explicit “do not proceed yet” boundaries

• A clear next-step recommendation

This is for leaders under pressure to act who need disciplined clarity first.

Take the free assessment to get a sense of what to expect.

2. The Automation Readiness Programme

A structured, staged framework that ensures your people, processes, data, governance, and controls are strong enough to support automation.

You leave with:

• Clear readiness visibility

• Defined stop/pause risks

• A sequenced priority plan

• A controlled first automation decision

• A delivery-ready brief

This is for organisations that want automation to work — not multiply risk.
