Stop Automating Too Soon!!

This could cost you 20k - 50k

Automation fails when foundations are weak.

Unclear processes. Messy data. No governance.

The result? £50k wasted on tools that don't work.

We help SMEs assess readiness before spending a penny.

Take the Automation Readiness Assessment

Most organisations don’t fail at automation because of technology. They fail because foundations are weak.

This assessment shows you — clearly and objectively — whether you are ready to automate now, or whether doing so would create risk.

What It Covers
  • Process stability and ownership

  • Data quality and control

  • People's readiness and adoption risk

  • Governance and decision rights

  • Change capacity

  • Risk exposure

What You Leave With
  • A readiness score across six areas and some initial actions

  • Identified stop/pause conditions

  • Clear “do not proceed yet” boundaries

  • A defensible next-step recommendation

  • Time required: 15 minutes

  • Questions: 27 quick questions

  • Cost: Free, always

  • No email required to start

Why Readiness Matters

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

Our Services

Automation Readiness — Before You Build

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

1. 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.

2. 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.
