Wouldn't it be great to put the leaders of the world's most innovative companies in a room and ask them how they've used Automation to succeed?

Well, last month, at FORWARD III in Las Vegas, we did just that. I sat down with leaders from Amazon, Uber, and SiriusXM/Pandora to get their advice on staying competitive in the 'automation first' era.

It boiled down to one thing: get quick wins with automation early to build the momentum for future, cutting-edge innovation.
