Thanks to robotic process automation research by the Advanced Practices Council, we built a strategy that has helped Tompkins Financial achieve cost savings for 2018 and 2019.
The APC researchers make it usable for us, practical for us; so that we may then take it back to our organizations.
I've been part of the APC for a long time now. Candidly, it's the best money spent each year due to the content, level of depth compared to most forums, and trusted network/friends.
The Advanced Practices Council (APC) is the premier program for senior technology and data executives to learn from the best thought leaders world-wide and each other. There are no sponsors and no selling.
A special program of SIM, a professional association of IT leaders, the APC was founded over 25 years ago by Professor Warren McFarlan of the Harvard Business School (HBS). Although the APC has strong relationships to many premier business schools and research institutions worldwide, its connection to the Harvard Business School continues to run deep.
APC members learn together on topics they select from world-renowned researchers and each other throughout the year at in-person meetings as well as virtual discussions.
The APC is limited to 40 select senior executives to ensure intimacy within its unique peer network.
The Advanced Practices Council Research Advisory Board (RAB) members --- world-renowned researchers --- connect APC to the global network of independent researchers, professors, and practitioners who deliver unbiased, independent research and practical advice to members.
