Manual work and automation
What can I automate without replacing my employees?
Automate the repetitive steps around people's work rather than the judgment they provide. Data entry, reminders, routing, status updates, document preparation, and routine checks can often be automated while employees handle exceptions, relationships, approvals, and decisions.
What to check
- Which work is repetitive rather than judgment-based?
- Where do employees add context or make decisions?
- Which routine steps interrupt higher-value work?
