Research
The evidence, read by operators.
We read the research that gets quoted at you in vendor decks, then write what it actually means for an operations-heavy business. Each analysis is ours; each underlying study is credited and linked in full.
Operational waste
Analysis40%of workers lose a quarter of the week to manual tasksAnalysis: a quarter of the working week disappears into manual tasks→Smartsheet found more than 40% of workers spend at least a quarter of their week on manual, repetitive tasks. Our read on what that means for a $10M+ operation, where the hours hide, and how to price them.Analysis60%of jobs have at least 30% of their activities automatableAnalysis: automation removes parts of roles, not roles→McKinsey Global Institute found that around 60% of jobs have at least 30% of their activities automatable, while fewer than 5% can be automated entirely. Our read on what that means for how you plan.
Adoption & failure
Analysis70%of transformation programmes miss their objectivesAnalysis: transformation fails for organisational reasons, not technical ones→Around 70% of digital transformation efforts fail against their original objectives, most often for organisational rather than technical reasons. Our read on the conditions that actually decide the outcome.Analysis5root causes behind most failed AI projectsAnalysis: the root causes behind failed AI projects→RAND studied why AI projects fail and found the causes are overwhelmingly about problem definition, data, and infrastructure — not model quality. Our read on how to avoid each one.Analysis1 termthat vendors use to mean five different thingsAnalysis: what hyperautomation means once you strip the vendor language→Gartner defines hyperautomation as a disciplined approach to rapidly identify and automate as many processes as possible. Our read: useful as a direction, dangerous as a first-year plan.
