In today’s hyper-competitive business landscape, the question isn’t whether your organisation should embrace automation—it’s which processes you should automate first. With digital transformation accelerating across every industry, from healthcare to manufacturing, companies are discovering that a strategic automation audit is the difference between transformative success and costly missteps.
An automation audit is a systematic evaluation of your organisation’s processes to identify the most valuable automation opportunities while assessing feasibility, impact, and resource requirements. Unlike traditional process reviews that focus on optimisation, an automation audit specifically examines which workflows can be enhanced through intelligent automation technologies.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. Research shows that organisations implementing automation without proper assessment waste an average of 30% of their automation budget on low-impact initiatives. Meanwhile, companies that conduct thorough automation audits achieve ROI improvements of 200-300% within the first year of implementation.
