The Automation Reality Check is a roundtable bringing together 12 IT professionals to tackle the problems that keep automation projects stuck. No presentations. No vendor demos. Just collaborative problem-solving with practitioners who’ve implemented automation across finance, healthcare, the public sector, and beyond.One day. Real challenges with solutions you can implement immediately.
There’s no strategy – just reactive decisions dressed up as transformation. You’re not alone in this. Most IT teams are stuck in the same place: knowing automation should help, but paralysed by too many tools and not enough straight answers.
This roundtable exists to fix that. Twelve people who’ve hit the same walls you’re hitting. One day to solve the problems that keep your projects stuck.

Because the best solutions come from real conversations. When you put 12 people with similar challenges in a room, the collective experience creates breakthroughs that no webinar or consultation can match. We've run these workshops for years - the magic happens when people start sharing what actually went wrong, not just what worked.
No. We're not selling anything on the day. This works because everyone contributes and everyone benefits. If you want product demos, this isn't it.
We'd rather spend a day solving real problems with IT professionals than sitting in another internal meeting. It's a better use of everyone's time - you get practical help with your challenges and learn how we work.
Come anyway. Sometimes the most valuable thing is hearing what problems other teams are hitting - helps you avoid them entirely.
