Course information

The LSE Automation: Implementation in Business online certificate course explores the capabilities and applications of emerging service automation technologies and how to effectively and ethically deploy these technologies within your organisation for optimal business value.

Over the course of six weeks, you’ll examine Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Cognitive Automation (CA), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and how these technologies are changing the way businesses are seeking to increase productivity, profitability, and customer satisfaction.

On this course, you’ll also explore the ethical implications employers face as they prepare for the future of work, and consider how intelligent automation technologies can be applied for social good.

Note: This online certificate course is designed for professionals across a wide range of industries who are interested in the strategic management of business process automation technologies. While you’ll gain insight into the technologies underpinning RPA, CA, or AI, this course focuses on the management aspects of automation and is non-technical in nature.
