Why Happy Path automation fails and what to do instead

The tool looked perfect.

The interface was clean, the workflow ran smoothly, and the demo hit every mark.

It did everything you needed, until the day it did not.

When real-world complexity enters the picture—exceptions, changes, new logic—many automation platforms simply aren’t flexible enough to keep up.

In this candid, insight-packed discussion, Bertrand Piquet (AMO Consultancy) joins Andy Hayes and Brian Rieb (Nintex) to explore a challenge that many teams face too late:

The “happy path” is easy. Real automation is not.

 

They unpack:

  • Why automation that only works in perfect conditions is a risk, not a win
  • How to assess whether a platform is truly built for scale
  • What flexibility really looks like in a low-code, enterprise-grade environment
  • How to future-proof your automation strategy

 

Perfect for IT leaders, business technologists, and low-code engineers looking to build automation that survives beyond the first demo.

 

Watch the full discussion and make sure your automation plan is resilient.
