About the Course

In the current operational landscape, organizations demand automation results that are both provable and scalable. This course addresses the core challenge of moving from pilot projects to a mature automation ecosystem by focusing on the rigorous application of RPA implementation and governance. You will learn to demonstrate five critical domain capabilities: identifying high-value automation candidates using heat maps, designing resilient bot architectures, integrating AI/ML for unstructured data processing, establishing a robust Center of Excellence (CoE), and measuring bot performance through real-time dashboards. We reference the COBIT 2019 framework and ISO/IEC 38500 standards to ensure your automation initiatives align with corporate governance and IT security protocols.

The curriculum is structured to turn scattered technical knowledge into a professional system for digital workforce management. You will learn how to build a Solution Design Document (SDD), calculate automation ROI using complex cost-benefit models, and navigate the complexities of bot-human handoffs. This course teaches enterprise-grade RPA development through hands-on labs so you can deploy bots that handle exceptions gracefully and maintain data integrity across disparate systems. While we introduce the conceptual foundations of hyperautomation, the primary focus remains on the practical implementation of stable, secure, and auditable automation workflows that function under real-world constraints such as legacy system latency and strict regulatory reporting requirements.


Target Audience

This intermediate-level course is tailored for professionals who have a foundational understanding of business processes and wish to lead or execute technical automation initiatives within their organizations.

This course is designed for:

  • RPA Business Analysts responsible for documenting complex process workflows
  • Automation Developers seeking to move from task-level to enterprise-level design
  • IT Operations Managers overseeing the deployment of digital workforces
  • Digital Transformation Leads driving hyperautomation initiatives across the enterprise
  • Process Improvement Specialists focused on Lean and Six Sigma automation
  • Systems Architects designing the infrastructure for scalable RPA environments
  • Compliance Officers monitoring bot activities for regulatory and audit adherence

  • Project Managers leading RPA implementation teams and vendor selections
  • Operations Directors reporting on automation ROI and workforce productivity metrics

Course Objectives

This course equips you to design, execute, and report RPA initiatives that improve operational speed, ensure regulatory compliance, and support strategic digital transformation goals.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

  • Assess automation feasibility using a standardized RPA Suitability Matrix
  • Apply the Process Definition Document (PDD) framework to capture keystroke-level workflows
  • Construct a Solution Design Document (SDD) that accounts for exception handling
  • Develop functional software robots using industry-leading RPA platforms and tools

  • Navigate the security requirements for bot credential management and data encryption
  • Implement a Center of Excellence (CoE) structure based on COBIT 2019 principles
  • Synthesize automation logs into executive dashboards for stakeholder reporting and audit

Requirements & Prerequisites

Participants should have a minimum of 2 years of experience in business process management, IT operations, or systems analysis. Familiarity with basic programming logic (if/then statements, loops) is required, though advanced coding skills are not necessary. Access to a laptop with administrative rights for software installation is essential for the hands-on labs.


Local Application and Business Return

How participants can apply the training in local operating conditions, and the return their organisation can plan for.

How participants apply this

In Burkina Faso, participants would usually apply RPA to reduce manual work in shared service, finance, procurement, customer service, and back-office administration. Typical day-to-day uses include automating data entry between spreadsheets and business systems, moving information across web portals, generating routine reports, and handling repetitive approval or reconciliation steps. In practice, the role is less about building a few standalone bots and more about identifying stable, rule-based processes, documenting them clearly, and maintaining them so they remain reliable as systems and workflows change. Because many organizations operate with limited automation maturity, the course is especially useful for helping teams select the right processes, define controls, and avoid automating unstable work.

Expected ROI

The main return usually comes from time savings, fewer manual errors, and faster turnaround on repetitive tasks. After training, teams are often able to standardize how they document processes, prioritize automation candidates, and design bots that are easier to support, which lowers rework and operational risk. Over 6–12 months, the most realistic gains are improved throughput in back-office work, better compliance with documented procedures, and more staff time redirected from routine processing to higher-value tasks. Organizations with a small automation pipeline may also see faster proof-of-value because learners can deliver scoped automations without needing a full enterprise CoE from day one.

Training Methodology

This is a practical, outcome-driven course designed to turn automation aspiration into measurable action and credible reporting through hands-on application.

Methodology includes:

  • Hands-on ROI calculation exercise using a multi-variable automation cost-benefit tool
  • Scenario simulation requiring bot exception handling design for a financial workflow
  • Process audit using a standardized RPA governance checklist and COBIT framework
  • Stakeholder mapping exercise for establishing an enterprise Center of Excellence (CoE)
  • Case study analysis from the banking, healthcare, and logistics sectors
  • Group workshop producing a complete Solution Design Document (SDD) for review
  • Reflection exercise benchmarking current organizational processes against hyperautomation maturity models

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've gathered the answers to common queries to help you feel confident and informed.

Business analysts, operations supervisors, IT support staff, and finance or administration teams usually benefit most because they work with repeatable, rules-based processes. The training is also useful for managers who need to evaluate automation opportunities and govern bot delivery.

Basic digital literacy is usually enough for foundations-level RPA training, although familiarity with process mapping and structured thinking helps. More technical learners may progress faster, but the core value is understanding process design, controls, and how bots interact with existing applications.

The best candidates are high-volume, repetitive, rules-based tasks with stable steps and clear inputs and outputs. Processes that rely heavily on judgment, frequent exceptions, or changing business rules are usually better handled with redesign before automation.

It emphasizes documentation, solution design, governance, and maintainability so automation can be scaled beyond one-off experiments. That helps teams move toward a repeatable delivery model with clearer ownership, testing, and support.
