John Bersin – 2016- “Future ofWork” 92% of organizations believe their organizational design is notworking ”Theanswer,aswehavediscovered,istoempowerpeopleinsmallteams,linktheseteamstogether,andbuildanorganizationalculturethatkeepspeoplealignedandletspeopleinnovate,deliver, and serve customers on the frontline.” Developing RPA vision andplans If you dont know why you are deploying RPA you will struggle to get and maintain momentum, and your initiatives will be pulled in all directions. A CoE should ensure that RPA is deployed where it will give the best business value. Developing RPAGovernance Not only provide guidelines and rules, active participation in delivering RPA solution will ensure that governance is working in the real world and is adapting to where the organisation is on the maturityjourney. Managing RPAPatterns By developing standard patterns the CoE provide concrete design guidance for implementing individual solutions. Patterns provide better guidance than rules and enable many design decisions to bepremade. Library of RPA basedservices By making it easy for participants to find solutions already implemented the CoE helps speed up deployment and reducesrework. Planning theFuture By looking at the pipeline of enterprise technological change, current and projected business volumes continously re-plan which RPA solutions to prioritise and where toretire. 8 © 2017.Mindfields.

People >>>> Process >>>> Technology Who should own the CoE? © 2017 Mindfields. All rightsreserved.
People >>>> Process >>>> Technology • Ownership and Sponsorship ofCoE • Whilst RPA can be seen as s technical solution to support the business to achieve its strategic objectives, a powerful model is to have the CoE sponsored by a business division. This could be a centralised operations area or a key business division which will be an early adopter or driver of RPA change. An alternate model would be to have the CoE sponsored by the office of the CFO. In any of these models a strong working relationship with the core Technology organisation and the CIO is critical tosuccess. • Business or CFO sponsorship shifts the focus from a technology solution to a business transformation enabler and gives a higher sense of ownership from the businessdivisions. • ChangeManagement • Agile Change Managers familiar with RPA and organisational change approach andstandards • Work closely with team / division based change teams to optimise adoption andoutcome • DesignAuthority • Enterprise wide view of process solution design standards and overall integrity of the RPAplatform • Planning and preparation for scaling ofRPA • Ensuring reusability androbustness © 2017 Mindfields.

People >>>> Process >>>> Technology When should CoE for RPA be set up? © 2017 Mindfields. All rightsreserved.
People >>>> Process >>>> Technology • Optimal time to set up aCOE? • Establishing a CoE requires organisational commitment and a recognition that some level of centralised capability is required to successfully deliver RPA solutions and benefits. Once a “pilot” or “proof of concept” has been completed and there is an emerging understanding of how RPA can be applied and the potential benefits, is one key point when a CoE can beestablished. • Establishment of the CoE will also be driven by the pace at which the organisation wants to expand their RPA delivery capacity and increase the deliveryvelocity. 14 © 2017.Mindfields.

People >>>> Process >>>> Technology A decision to operate a more centralised capability vs decentralised should take into account the organisational operating model, culture and objectives of the RPAprogramme • Centralised • View of all initiatives across theorganisation • Stronger governance over which processes are prioritised forautomation • Easier to track overall RPA portfolio health and benefitrealisation • End to end view of process change which can identify synergies and increased opportunities for process optimisation and / or RPA in end to end valuestreams • Re-use of objects for common applications - Build itonce • Higher level of optimisation of available robot capacity across the organisation • Provides a common set of standards for process assessment, delivery and maintenance andmonitoring • Single source of expertise and capability to service the entireenterprise • Consistent interaction point with Technology teams – builds confidence and repeatableprocedures • De-centralised • Local business teams have the best view of what needs to be automated to driveimprovement • Builds momentum and expertise with the local teams – potentiallymore • costeffective • Not constrained by central team capacity to service RPAdemand • Less governance and“overhead” • Business leaders and teams feel more empowered and accountable for meeting business objectives viaRPA • Potentially lower cost delivery model at the locallevel 18 © 2017.Mindfields.

People >>>> Process >>>> Technology Key lessons learnt © 2017 Mindfields. All rightsreserved.
People >>>> Process >>>> Technology KeyLearnings • Have a demand management capability before marketing RPA to the broader organisation. Business units can get very creative with RPA and demand will pick up quickly. Have an idea of how prioritisation, license allocation, hardware asset allocation etc. will be governed • Establish the relationship with the Technology teams early and make sure they are part of the CoE. Navigating the change management and support landscape in technology can be complex and they are a key part of the overall success for RPA at an enterprisescale • Early engagement with Risk, Security and other control groups. Establishing procedures and policies for RPA which can be managed from the CoE will enable more rapid deployment of RPA into other parts of the organisation as the capabilityscales • The CoE provides a great incubator for the development of RPA skills for the enterprise. If looking to develop internal capabilitythe • CoE can provide training, coaching and an opportunity to learn from othersexperiences. © 2017 Mindfields. All rightsreserved.
