PROGRESSING AI TO FULLY INTEGRATED AUTOMATION; FROM STRATEGY TO REAL WORLD PRACTICE, IMPLEMENTING AI WITH RPA TO THRIVE
Peter Walker -
CTO EMEA,
Blue Prism
Many large enterprises see their existing business models as constrained. It is easy to feel burdened by legacy systems, outdated customer commitments and huge volumes of fragmented data. But how can we instead view these very same things as assets – rather than a burden – in order to market new products, services and ways of working? The answer is to unleash the digital entrepreneurs. In this session, learn how RPA can be used strategically to help progress AI beyond a sterile “brain in a jar” and become a fully integrated part of the enterprise.

INTERACTIVE ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION
12:30 pm - 1:45 pm RPA AT SCALE Phil Pentland - EMEA Sales Lead (FSI) - Process Mining, SignavioThe potential benefits of IA/RPA are undisputed, but 90%+ of companies struggle to make these a reality at any sense of scale. If your business has the ambition to grow its IA/RPA practice but cannot afford to waste time and effort on further failed projects, this interactive session could help bring some clarity and new ideas. We will be discussing:
- The importance of combining Process Mining and Process Modelling to understand your as-is business operation - using the power of system data in conjunction with the experience of your employees
- Can a Digital Twin of the Organisation (DTO) help with continuous Process Hygiene and identification of IA/RPA opportunities?
- Can disparate tools lead to too much duplication, data errors, and confusion - all introducing unnecessary risk to your automation practice?
- Should Process Excellence/Optimisation be driven from a company Centre of Excellence, and is that the same CoE as your IA/RPA practice?
INTERACTIVE ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION

HOW TO AUTOMATE IN A HIGHLY REGULATED ENVIRONMENT
Morten Mollyhus -
Execution Lead (RPA),
LEO Pharma
RPA is by now on most large companies’ strategic and tactical radars, however as the technology slowly moves beyond the peak of inflation and through disillusionment we are starting to uncover some of the drawbacks. We often see the technology experiencing challenges at scale, especially in highly regulated areas. This talk will focus on some of the difficulties you can encounter when implementing RPA in a regulated market and some practical insights from a pharmaceutical company on how to succeed.
2:40 pm - 3:20 pm
WHY DO 30-50% OF RPA INITIATIVES FAIL? - PROCESS DISCOVERY INSIGHTS FROM A SUCCESSFUL RPA COMPANY
David Salamon -
CEO and Co-founder,
Cloudstorm
Process discovery is one of the most important parts of the RPA funnel as it provides not only the foundation but the fuel for RPA initiatives, however, it’s also one of the most difficult & stakeholder heavy as well. Continuously feeding the RPA pipeline with process ideas then choosing the right ones for automation is a risky and difficult task. One of the key questions you can ask is: am I automating the right processes? CloudStorm as a successful RPA vendor helps companies in their process discovery efforts at scale to find the right processes for automation.
- What are the most essential steps and most dangerous pitfalls of process discovery?
- How to scale up process discovery successfully?
- How to encourage employees across the entire organization for automation?
- What tools can help to scale up significantly the bottom-up idea-collection
