Scaling operations does not mean hiring more people. It means automating the right processes – systematically, measurably, and with a clear P&L impact.
This training takes the operational leadership perspective: How do I analyze departments, processes, and workflows for genuine automation potential? How do I prioritize by P&L impact rather than tool hype? And how do I get teams to see automation as relief – not as a threat? You will leave the training with a concrete 90-day roadmap.
Dates
Agenda
- Stocktake: Which processes are running in my area? Where does the most time flow into repetitive, rule-based work?
- The value creation audit: Evaluating operational processes across four dimensions – automatability, value creation leverage, implementation effort, and people impact
- Value creation vs. busy work: Developing clear criteria to distinguish genuine leverage from the illusion of efficiency
- Practical exercise: Applying the audit to three real processes from your own working life
- The automation matrix: Quick wins (high leverage, low effort) vs. structural projects vs. distraction
- Modeling P&L impact: Budget monitoring, SOP development, performance reporting – working through concrete examples
- The change dimension: Why automation fails without team buy-in – and how to sell the topic internally
- Transfer: Prioritized 90-day roadmap for your own area with peer review
