🚨 The #1 automation trap companies fall into: Automating tasks before proving value. The hard truth: • Automation = saving money • Value creation = making money And you can't save your way to growth. 💡 Perfect example: Amazon's "automated" stores actually had humans watching cameras and checking items at first. Why? Because they focused on proving value before optimizing costs. When clients come to us wanting to automate processes, we ask: "Is this process already making you money?" If not, you're optimizing the wrong thing. The path to ROI: 1. Build something valuable (even if manual) 2. Get customers paying for it 3. THEN automate to increase margins #BusinessStrategy #Innovation #SoftwareDevelopment
