To Code or Not to Code....
Bob Larrivee Consultancy
August 16, 2018
…..that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler to stick to traditional process automation methodologies requiring IT assistance, or to place the power in the hands of the front-line worker using automation tools requiring no IT assitance or coding.

There is a line from the movie Heartbreak Hill where Clint Eastwood – Gunny – tells his Marine recruits they must learn to improvise, adapt, and overcome. Interestingly, many businesses have and still today, follow this basic principle in their business processes, without knowing it. A challenge arises in getting the job done.
