Monday: Building the foundations: The role of IA in business transformation and getting deployment right

Day one of techUK’s Intelligent Automation week will define and clarify what the role of IA technologies are in business transformation. We will start with getting the foundations right: Moving from nice-to-have to necessity in developing use cases for Intelligent Automation; what good practice looks like, and helping businesses measure value of Intelligent Automation in the aftershock of COVID-19.

Tuesday: Skills and supporting the workforce of tomorrow

By complementing and leveraging strengths of Intelligent Automation in the UK’s workforce, the UK has the opportunity to be leaders in innovation. However there is a need to embrace a human-centric approach that will help to develop meaningful experiences for employees and the opportunity for a workforce able to learn and grow alongside Intelligent Automation. We also need to ensure that through the adoption of emerging technologies that we do not exclude certain communities from the workforce and develop a meaningful conversation about digital transformation that works for all.

Wednesday: Intelligent Automation cyber, and mitigating challenges to adoption

This day will explore some of the common concerns and challenges facing adoption of Intelligent Automation and the innovative solutions the technology sector has showcased to solve these challenges. This day hopes to ensure businesses can be better equipped to realize the benefits of intelligent automation across their products and services and ease and business concerns.

Thursday: Automation and public sector: Opportunities and challenges of adoption

Day four will explore the potential value and benefits of IA for Central Government in the UK’s post-COVID recovery. This includes raising awareness and debate among the technology sector about where progress has, or has not, been made – and the key challenges faced so that the market can better support the reinvigoration of automation in the Government’s agenda. Following on from techUK’s previous market engagement on Intelligent Automation with Cabinet Office, we are eager to listen and gather industry views on the huge potential of this technology for Government if we get this right.

Friday: Intelligent automation and emerging technologies: Innovative use cases driving forward the UK’s economy

On the final day of techUK’s Intelligent Automation Week, techUK members will explore interesting and innovative use cases where IA technologies are driving digital transformation when paired with innovative and new technologies like AI and Cloud. We will also future gaze as to what a 21st century digital business will look like and how the tech industry can help make this a reality.
