Automating a process often requires the same level of effort being put towards change management as it does development. A successful framework I've used in the past is ADKAR: Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement. This method takes time and patience but will pay off in the end when you have a group full of advocates for change instead of constant push back. One of the most common fears of automation is the fear of losing your job. As a start it's important to help the team understand where their time will be spent after the process is automated and that their jobs are secure. After successful changes with teams full of advocates more teams will be excited for automation to save them time and energy. 👍 if you agree
