Developing and automating workflows

The project faced substantial challenges due to stringent privacy and security regulations at BASF, which restricted the automation of processes between systems. Additionally, being a large corporation, BASF had complex organizational structures leading to unclear responsibilities, complicating the implementation process. Another significant hurdle was ensuring the adoption of new workflows by the team, a task often met with resistance due to changes in established procedures.

To navigate the challenges, the team developed workarounds and reconfigured approaches that complied with BASF's strict privacy and security policies. Persistence in building a detailed relationship map clarified responsibilities within the corporation. The team also focused on thorough documentation and secured management support, ensuring a smooth transition. Tight monitoring and regular, friendly reminders were employed to facilitate the incorporation of the new workflows into the daily routine of the team.
