16 Cognitive Automation
4 Summary
The most important thing to do when embarking on an AI-inspired, Cognitive Automation initiative is to Start
with Why. Pinpointing your pain points that provide the most value to your organization also provides the
foundation and North Star to establish deep stakeholder engagement.
Capture, Manage and Retain your data. Start capturing data now and be thoughtful of the data that you retire
or eliminate.
Pick your Partner. Find out if your company has an internal analytics or data science function and explore that
path first. If not, knowing your pain points before any external engagement is essential to delivering value to
your priorities.
Maintaining Deep Stakeholder engagement is essential because they are the domain experts. They are
going to be fielding many queries and clarifications from the data scientists, and it’s critical for them buy into
the goals, the tenacity to believe in the effort, and ultimately be the mouthpiece to drive successful adoption
across the organization.
Re-imagine Engineering by finding your ‘X’ and keep improving by working the next opportunity for Cognitive
Automation. Either by providing more precision in the models of the current project or by moving onto the
automation of the next Cognitive task in your list of priorities.
