Find and point out the ways it will save and increase money for the company.
Automation costs a LOT of money, and no business wants to spend money, but they always want to make it.
Every time I've had execs approve my ideas, they only did it after I brought it up as a profit maker and cost savings... and did the research to back it up.
If you REALLY want it for your company, do the work to show them the money.
100%. If you can show them how it'll make money, they'll be on board!
First, try to understand why they are resistant to the change. Are they concerned about cost, complexity, or lack of expertise? Once you understand the root of the issue, you can then work on finding a solution that addresses their concerns. Involving them in the process, providing data and evidence to show the potential benefits, and helping to create a roadmap to implementation can all help to build consensus and move the initiative forward. Additionally, being open to feedback and compromise can help demonstrate your commitment to finding the best solution for everyone
There may be some resistance to implementing automation strategies at first, but it's important to be persistent in pushing for them. You can try to explain the benefits of automation to your superiors, or even try to set up a pilot project to see how automation can help the company. If necessary, you can also take steps to protect your job by advocating for policies that support automation.
Well, the first step is to understand why your superiors are resistant to automation. There could be a number of reasons, some of which are beyond your control. For example, they may be concerned about the potential impact on jobs and the workforce. They may also fear that automation will lead to increased costs or decreased efficiency. There could also be cultural bias against automation, as some managers may feel that it is inappropriate or un-American to rely too much on technology.
If you understand the reasons behind your superiors' resistance, you can try to address their concerns. For example, you could explain that automation can help the company save money and increase efficiency. You could also suggest ways to make sure that automation is implemented in a responsible way, so that employees are not adversely affected. If necessary, you may need to take a stand and advocate for automation. However, do so in a way that does not threaten your job security or reputation.
Maybe you can start small and automate stuff you can control without IT. I used excel functions to automate what we used to do manually
This is actually a great idea. Are you still using excel?
What's the reason why they won't allow it? Maybe they are not that confident. Why not start small first?
Be persistent, OP. Explain to them the benefits of automation strategies. Make sure you gather enough studies and resources for this.
