"Rise of the Robots": Automation as a Process Improvement Tool
Details
It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but the "rise of robotics" is already happening - and it's beginning to impact our everyday lives and how we do business. The rapidly-growing field of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is grabbing more and more attention in the business world. This revolutionary technology allows companies to automate high-volume, repetitive tasks by focusing primarily on the process, not human behavior. Automated processes adapt to changing circumstances and new situations, mimicking the way that people interact with applications without the need for constant human supervision.
In this meetup we will discuss what process automation is, how it can be used to replace human labor within a process, and what elements you need to control it. We'll also talk about using robotics as a tool to enhance process automation, eliminate manual routine tasks and scale effort at a lower cost.
Hope to see you there!

The New York Business Process Professionals Meetup was founded in February 2016 by Sam Chin, a process professional and consultant based here in NYC. Sam's goal was to create a space for developing the theory and frameworks of process work in both the theoretical and practical sense, and to this end he has built up a series of slide decks which outline the various topics discussed in the group. You can view a collection of all the slides from past discussions over on http://www.slideshare.net/SamuelChinPMP
