As a very young start up most things are still done in spreadsheets! We use some workflow tools, like Jira for Service / Help Desk / Operations / IT and Salesforce (poorly
adopted / ignored by the sales team), but I wouldn't call them process automation in the pure sense. I don't have experience of what finance are using. We have recently
adopted Expensify, which has automated our expenses process, and that has been widely adopted. We use AppRiver for our email and spam services, and that is universally
used.

12 Other (please specify) 29 9%
13 None at this time 7 2%
Not able to get time from domain experts to contribute to automation
Culture, not understood in the organisation
securities/roles
Insistence on complex processes instead of simplification to automate
To many specialized and complex processes automated
lack of close relationship between business and IT, poor deliverable quality that request a significant amount of reworks.
no third party tools allowed
applying automation to disparate domains
Obsolescence of existing tools
Leadership buy in
Globalization vs. localization
weak alignment of governance
cost of implimentation
few standardized job procedures suitable for automatization
As a start up, we are still defining our business processes, without any thought of automation. We extensively use the wiki, dropbox, google docs for collaboration of process
definition, but most of the time a process may be created and then not used the next time we face a similar challenge, or immediately changed. In many places there is no
process.
external (enterprise) processes antiquated, inefficient
Cost/Budget
Politics and resource limitations
Test and release management
Business understanding of its benefits
lack of communication
Transitioning from legacy processes
hundreds or thousands of potential variables in a process
Any of the above, depending on the group and project
nothing is in place it is a long road
Time to implement
lack of empathy/understanding of those automating
Vision: The people who design and build the automation I find have no vision of what they are trying to build. They just automate the current process and not think about what is
needed and how to improve. This is at all levels from the very top to the bottom of the organization.
Bifurcated processes (some automated, some manual)

I also execute automation changes
Change to processes is ad-hoc, and where a process has an element of workflow automation (e.g. service management, proposal management, software change management
in Jira workflows), the automation is light weight and loose, so we don't try to change it too much, because of the cost of change.

We extensively use the wiki, dropbox, google docs for collaboration of process definition, but most of the time a process may be created and then not used the next time we face a similar challenge, or immediately changed. In many places there is no process. external (enterprise) processes antiquated, inefficient Cost/Budget Politics and resource limitations Test and release management Business understanding of its benefits lack of communication Transitioning from legacy processes hundreds or thousands of potential variables in a process Any of the above, depending on the group and project nothing is in place it is a long road Time to implement lack of empathy/understanding of those automating Vision: The people who design and build the automation I find have no vision of what they are trying to build. They just automate the current process and not think about what is needed and how to improve. This is at all levels from the very top to the bottom of the organization.
