WAE is a framework that lifts the global workforce to fulfill human potential with a human-centered approach to automation.
Get Started

The WAE Framework includes
a proprietary four-phase approach, a set of guiding principles, and a set of specific activities
to guide organizations through their journey.

  •  

    By implementing the WAE Framework,
    businesses can solve complex problems,
    increase innovation, and enrich the lives of humans.

    Too often, we have seen conversations of automation, reskilling people, and the imperative of innovation culture to solve complex global problems are three separate discussions. With WAE, these conversations are seamlessly integrated to achieve optimal business and human success.

    WAE is digital transformation with workforce transformation. The WAE Framework achieves a human-centric advancement of business and technology.

    • don't risk
    losing your most
    valuable asset...

    Today, our “always-on” lifestyles, hyper-connectivity,
    and legacy work mindsets have buried humans in data
    and burdened us in tasks. Under this weight of mundane
    work and faster business cycle, businesses are losing
    their most valuable asset to technology..

    Slide Intro humans technology WAE your = + the principles Slide 1 - humans Humans are brimming
    with potential.     Every human has untapped potential
    and that potential needs to be nurtured.     People know what they can
    offer better than managers.     A person knows their potential better
    than any manager or executive.     Empathy is at the core
    of human potential.     Human potential cannot be achieved without
    empathy for the people doing the work and
    consuming the work product.     Humanity is more powerful
    than technology.     Your humanity is more capable of creating
    lasting change than any technology.     humans technology WAE your = + the principles     Slide 2 - technology Technology unleashes
    that potential.     Technology can remove the barriers
    that hold back human potential.     Technology is a collaborator,
    not just a tool.     Technology is a partner in work, not
    something used but something worked
    with to achieve an outcome.     Innovation comes from
    the people doing the work.     Real innovation comes from the front lines
    of work, not the executive offices.     humans technology WAE your = + the principles     Slide 3 - your WAE Measure what matters. If it is worth your time to do it,
    measure your impact from it.     Storytelling connects us. People connect, learn and grow with
    shared experiences and stories. Storytelling
    is central to growing the humanity in any
    group of people.     Make sure everyone
    knows what matters.     Ensure everyone knows what matters so
    that everyone drives forward in the same
    direction to achieve their potential.     humans technology WAE your = + the principles

    The WAE framework is activated through a proprietary
    four phase approach that focuses on people, tasks, and processes.

  •  
    WAE starts with building empathy. It examines business processes to discover which tasks should be amplified with the human, and which tasks can be delegated to automation. During this process, we uncover the human value in each task to see how that value can be amplified once the mundane, repetitive functions are automated.​
  •  
    Next, WAE analyzes the tasks down to the click level and looks for opportunities to help with the task or totally automate it. Through this process, WAE enables people to understand what they are doing and more importantly WHY they are doing it.​ WAE next determines HOW to empower the human through automation, freeing the humans for higher–level strategic thinking and innovation.
  •  
    Trained professionals build automations to complement human teams based on specific business goals. The implementation process includes training, adoption coaching, and refinement of the interplay between human and technology. This allows people in the workforce to reframe their work to add uniquely human value.
  •  
    During Verification, WAE actualizes the impact of the framework, the automation, and the human engagement. Measurement during this phase is critical to show business returns and alignment to the roadmap. WAE is about enabling humans and thus leverages the most human thing to spread success: storytelling. Your success story will be shared across the organization to inspire others to rethink their workforce.
