In just a few years, automation has moved from simple back-office bots to sophisticated organization-wide initiatives. In 2022, the term "hyperautomation" hit the mainstream, re-shaping how business leaders think about end-to-end process improvement and the pace of digital transformation.
Hyperautomation is rapidly emerging as the go-to strategy for organizations aiming to maximize efficiency, agility, and competitiveness. Hailed by Gartner as the number one strategic technology trend for 2020 and 2021, hyperautomation is more than just a buzzword—it's the next evolutionary leap in business process automation.
The rise of Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) is reshaping the way organizations operate, promising a new era of efficiency and innovation. In 2021, as businesses double down on digital transformation, IPA is moving from a buzzword to an essential roadmap item for forward-thinking leaders.
It’s no secret: automation has become a fixture in modern business operations. But in 2021, a new and ambitious trend began capturing attention—hyperautomation. More than a buzzword, hyperautomation pushed organizations to go beyond task-based automation, aiming for end-to-end transformation of entire business processes.

The emergence of no-code and low-code platforms has democratized automation, enabling not only professional developers but also business users to design and deploy applications with minimal hand-coding.

When you’re tasked with tracking and managing data on thousands of hardware installations across hundreds of fuel stations — spanning multiple countries, vendors, and equipment generations — the first instinct is to search for a dedicated asset management system. In our case, we tried, but nothing quite fit: too expensive, too rigid, or simply not “close enough” to our real business process.
In recent years, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has emerged as a game-changing force in how businesses operate. Far from science fiction, RPA is now being widely adopted by forward-looking organizations eager to streamline workflows, cut operational costs, and free human talent for higher-value work. As we head into 2018, companies that ignore the RPA trend risk falling behind.

In 2013, I was part of a team tasked with replacing a patchwork of Excel trackers and old Access databases with a single, unified claims management platform at a major insurance provider in London. The chosen tool: Microsoft SharePoint 2013. I’d worked with SharePoint before, but never as the core workflow engine for a business-critical system.

Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege—and sometimes the headache—of coaching Agile teams in several German companies. As a Brit who has worked with organizations across Europe, I expected a few cultural differences. But nothing quite prepared me for the German approach to planning. Here’s what I’ve learned—and what I wish I’d known before boarding that flight to Frankfurt.

If you stepped into a Fortune 500 boardroom in the early 2000s, you’d hear a new set of buzzwords ricocheting off the mahogany: workflow, integration, orchestration, BPM. Business Process Management was no longer a back-office concern. Suddenly, it was the engine of digital transformation—and the hottest ticket in enterprise IT.
