Leadership is simple, but it’s not easy. Championship leaders lead with passion, purpose and love for their people. Drawing from his experience being coached by football great, Dr. Tom Osborne, this presentation from Aaron Davis will explore the legendary leadership style that secured an 80%+ winning percentage over 30+ years. Explore an attitude-first approach to leadership through tenets like:

  • The value of treating people differently as long as you treat them fairly and equally.

You can automate highly manual/mundane activities such as processing emails, extracting/coping/pasting information, performing data entry, creating reports, and many other end-to-end operational processes.

In this session we'll explain what RPA is, provide a quick demo of Blue Prism (an industry leading RPA software), discuss target areas to leverage this technology, and talk through a few practical industry based use cases.
