RPA Change management can alter how departments view their role.

In the past, audit saw itself primarily as responsible for risk mitigation,
intent on slowing down work in order to limit risk exposure and
stipulating a number of controls. They have traditionally been “the
bad guys.” Audit did not see a way of being able to identify and
eliminate risk permanently. However, automation allows just that, as
audit can now pinpoint controls that can be replaced by automation.
This automation provides certainty so that the controls are no longer
necessary. Auditors’ roles, therefore, move from “outside” a process
to “inside” a process. The work of change management should
include as diverse a community as you can create.
The key will always be to not offer automation but offer outcomes.
This requires Awareness, however, to eliminate Ignorance, which
causes resistance, skepticism and doubt. Every stakeholder is
vulnerable to these doubts unless they are brought into a change
management plan as a fundamental part of an enterprise program.
