 I was tuning into #CIOchat today, had this poll in queue RE: cutting spend. If you have additional thoughts the community here would love your comments I'm sure as well...

 - caught you chiming on twitter for this as well. Grateful if you have anything to have for the network on Pulse.

 you're name is familiar from my time at Enterprise Technology Research (ETR) - I recently left the firm and excited to be with Pulse.

Anyways, sorry to hear that you had to downsize staff, mistakenly I didn't include that as an option here... but if you have anything to chime in further I'm sure your additional peers on Pulse would appreciate it!

Got it - thanks Paige! Maybe one / two where you feel like you got the most ROI/decrease without damage then?

Speed kills (NTSB proves that all the time) - businesses need velocity.  Velocity is speed with control - meaning direction/focus.  Best way to increase velocity - get rid of "time vampire" people, processes, and technology and get a real leader.  They will generate velocity to execute and deliver

Looking for others insight into how they are measuring capacity for their Robotics Process Automation Programs. We have almost 100 bots in production and a defined amount of developers. We are continuing to deploy new bots/new use cases as well as sustaining all existing bots in production. What have others done to define a "trip wire" for identifying when you hit max capacity?

If you have a full Gartner license, they have a benchmarking tool that maps out to your industry.  It was useful for my needs.
