01 — The Problem
Automating the mess
Everyone's under pressure to digitalise and automate — but most efforts start in the wrong place. This isn't another hype session. It's a practical, honest look at what actually goes wrong.
Tools bought before anyone maps the process.
Broken workflows dressed up in software.
…and a few more failure patterns we'll walk through live.
02 — The Lens
"There's one question almost every team skips before they automate. We'll walk through it live."

Who's Talking
Two people who've done this on the ground
Naveen Narayanan
SSA Consulting Group
Brings the lean lens — years of stripping waste out of operations before anyone talks about tools. Frames why 'simplify first' isn't a slogan, it's the difference between automation that pays for itself and automation that adds a new layer of mess.
Amit Chaulkar
Industry Practitioner, Facilities Management
Has unlocked real efficiencies inside a leading facilities management company — not by chasing every new tool, but by deciding what to strip out before deciding what to digitalise. Brings the field evidence to this conversation.
Honest Talk
Where it goes wrong, and where AI actually fits
Some of it is over-automation. Some of it is skipping the people side. And some of it is treating AI as the headline instead of one option among several. We'll name the patterns worth watching for — and where AI genuinely earns its place — without pretending there's a single right answer.
