Why 80% of RPA Projects Stall After Pilot — And the 3 Structural Fixes

Mistake 1: Automating the Wrong Processes

• Teams pick "easy" processes, not "impactful" ones
• The automation candidate matrix: frequency × volume × error rate × cost
• Why high-visibility, low-complexity processes should go first

Mistake 2: No Process Redesign Before Automation

when the real answer was eliminating 8 steps entirely

• You can't automate a broken process — you'll just break it faster
• The step most firms skip: process mapping and optimization BEFORE RPA
• Case example: a bank that automated 14 steps of a 14-step process

Mistake 3: Building a Bot, Not a Program

• One bot is a project. Fifty bots is an operating model.
• The missing layer: governance, monitoring, exception handling, versioning
• Center of Excellence (CoE) vs. federated model vs. hybrid
• Why "RPA training for business users" without governance creates chaos
