New ISG ‘Bots and Beyond’ Podcasts Explore Reality, Hype of Automation Technology - Seite 2

“The challenge in recovering from the pandemic is to avoid ‘change blindness,’” Butterfield continued. “While business attention is understandably attuned to surviving the downturn, enterprises can’t afford to miss the significant changes and benefits automation brings. By keeping in regular touch with experts about developments in automation, we hope our ‘Bots and Beyond’ podcast can be a helpful resource.”

In “Bots and Beyond” Episode 1: “Citizen Developer, Hype or Hoax?” Butterfield speaks to Kieran Gilmurray, global automation lead at Mercer, about building a culture of citizen developers and a “combination of brilliant partnerships” to drive enterprise growth and innovation.

“In the future, business innovation may come from anywhere in IT, employees, vendors or elsewhere,” Butterfield said. “As the new, digitally dexterous generation of employees brings an ability to embrace emerging technology to the organizations they join, the concept of the citizen developer is getting a lot of traction. The challenge is to implement tools, methods, governance and a ‘go-for-it’ culture that helps employees and businesses work together to solve complicated problems.”
