The Human Side of Automation

Share

On-demand Webinar | Free

Automation doesn’t have to be thought about as a job-destroyer, but a job creator. In the future of finance, where one job is lost, others are created. Automation can help to restructure the workforce, creating more thought-provoking, creative jobs.

In this webinar we’ll focus on how AP can prepare/educate/improve their skill sets for a future of increased automation and how Finance execs can prepare to re-purpose talent they have in AP, offer appropriate training, rework job descriptions, etc… Industry expert Judy Bicking and Basware customer Heather Weis will speak to their experience in this area.
