The Center for Business Civic Engagement (CBCE) at George Mason University (Mason) announced the establishment of the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Initiative in partnership with leading enterprise RPA software company UiPath to determine the impact of RPA on government effectiveness and efficiency. The mission of the RPA Initiative is to research, educate, and communicate how the adoption of this emerging technology can improve productivity, operations and service delivery of public sector organizations. The Initiative will also study and recommend possible governance models and public policy initiatives for RPA deployment in the context of the broader economic outlook and the future of work. These mission-enabling technologies offer great help in making government programs more impactful and release government employees from tedious mundane work, allowing them to be more imaginative and creative in this new normal. The RPA Initiative in the weeks and months ahead looks to: Promote public understanding and education of the RPA industry. Engage in case study research of applications and results. Survey the general awareness of RPA. Educate from an academic perspective, policy makers to assist them in understanding and evaluating benefits of RPA. Engage in webinars on assorted subjects to discuss industry initiatives. Provide an academic stage for discussion of public policy issues relating to RPA uses across different levels of government.
