In the simplest sense, automation is a method to reduce human touchpoints in a workflow or process. In return, this frees up human resources to focus on other more important tasks. The end result is a net increase in capacity that directly translates to business growth if properly utilized. It is important, however, to avoid trying to leverage automation for tasks that aren’t well suited for it. Automation does require some base level of overhead for development, maintenance, and service. If one isn’t careful, it is entirely possible to yield a net increase in an effort to automate a task that was already a highly optimized human process. An oft-overlooked method of adding capacity, however, is automation.

All of these types of growth strategies require some level of added capacity, or the ability to provide more goods and services. Traditionally, adding capacity would involve hiring new employees, investing in new equipment, or expanding physical facilities.
