Intelligent Automation in Digital Transformation Strategy: Building IA Programs in the Agentic AI Era
by Jonathan Hardy
Overview
Harness the full potential of Intelligent Automation (IA) to transform your businesses, stay competitive, and navigate the complexities of today’s digital landscape. This book is a comprehensive guide for business leaders, executives, and automation professionals, exploring how Intelligent Automation (IA) has evolved from traditional Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to become a powerful catalyst in Digital Transformation.
Begin with the fundamentals of IA and its progression from simple, rule-based RPA to advanced IA, incorporating AI-driven technologies like Machine Learning, Generative AI, and Agentic AI. These emerging technologies empower organizations to tackle more complex processes, enabling intelligent decision-making and enhanced customer interactions prompting the necessity for robust governance and alignment with broader business objectives, which is a primary focus of this book.
To combat that, you’ll review actionable frameworks and governance models designed to support the development and sustainability of IA programs at scale. The book provides a structured roadmap to establish an IA Center of Excellence (CoE), ensuring that automation efforts align with the organization’s Digital Transformation goals. By integrating governance processes, risk management, and best practices, you’ll be able to build IA initiatives that are resilient, compliant, and strategically impactful. Intelligent Automation for Digital Transformation demystifies the journey to becoming a digitally native organization.
