A clearly articulated vision, cascaded from senior leadership, is fundamental to a successful Robotic Process Automation (RPA) implementation. Its primary purpose is strategic: to drive the significant organizational and cultural shifts required for a new capability. This top-down communication ensures that all key stakeholders understand the long-term goals and benefits of RPA, fostering the necessary buy-in and support to navigate the complexities of this transformational change. It aligns the entire organization towards a common objective, which is crucial for the establishment and scaling of a successful and sustainable automation capability.

A. Make sure everyone across the organization immediately accepts RPA

Immediate, universal acceptance is unrealistic for any significant organizational change. Change management is a process, and a vision helps facilitate, not guarantee, immediate acceptance.

B. Ensure the tactical deployment of RPA will be a success

While a strong vision supports tactical success, its primary purpose is broader and more strategic. It focuses on the overall transformational capability, not just individual process deployments.

D. Ensure the tactical deployment of RPA will be a failure

This is illogical. The entire purpose of establishing and communicating a vision is to guide the organization toward success, not failure.

1. Blue Prism. (2019). The Robotic Operating Model (ROM) - Vision. Blue Prism University Portal. In the section detailing the "Vision" component of the ROM, it is explicitly stated that the vision must be cascaded from the top to "ensure that the transformational change required to establish a successful capability is embraced and supported by all key stakeholders across the company." This directly validates the correct answer.

2. Blue Prism. (2022). ARA02 - Blue Prism Certified ROM Architect Study Guide. Section: "Module 1: Robotic Operating Model - Vision." This guide emphasizes that the vision is not merely a technical goal but a business transformation objective. It highlights the role of the executive sponsor in communicating this vision to secure enterprise-wide support and align stakeholders with the strategic intent of the RPA program.
