Once you have implemented automation tools, monitoring and measuring their performance is crucial. Regularly review the metrics and data generated by these tools to identify areas of improvement and refine your automation processes. This data-driven approach will help you optimise your operations and identify new growth opportunities.It goes without saying that employee training and involvement is critical to the success of any change.
