Automation
Automating onboarding — actually
Every organisation says they have automated onboarding. Most have a document with 47 manual steps.

The reality check
Ask the person who did the last three onboardings. Count what actually got typed by a human. That’s your baseline.
The order to fix things
1. Identity creation. 2. Group membership. 3. Licence assignment. 4. Device dispatch. 5. Manager introduction. The first three pay back in a month; the last two require culture change.
◆ Takeaway
Start with identity, groups, and licences. Everything else is a project, not a script.
