Ep110: Automation for Excellence
Good automation solves two litmus tests. The first I think is fairly obvious and that's it's an increase in efficiency when you add automation in right? Does this thing happen quicker? Because automation is a part of the workflow? Typically, that answer is yes. The second thing is that's if automation improves the efficacy of what we're doing does the outcome of what we're creating become better because we've added automation into the workflow or not? It's difficult because it's not always a black and white, yes or no answer. It's dependent on you and your business and your understanding of what you're trying to achieve by adding automation as a tool into your workflow.
