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

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.
