You actually don't need to automate

Sometimes you don't need to automate anything. You need the person making the decision to see what they need.
In Part 4 of 5 of our AI Readiness conversation, I walked through an HR example. Turn the paper into a digital form, then:
"have that be right next to the number of hours that person has available so that you could just click approve. And right away, like 80% of your process gets better."
Why it works:
"Which is usually why the process is bad, you don't have the context you need."
Before you build the automation, ask what the person deciding needs to see in front of them.
