Welcome to Tech in MKE: conversations with business leaders who have a connection to Milwaukee where we chat about the state of technology in their organizations, our community, and how both come together to attract talent and make a city more “techie”. This episode features a panel discussion from the Wisconsin Technology Association conference which took place a couple weeks ago. The topic is Robotic Process Automation or RPA. It’s not a new technology, but the panel gets into new spins and example use cases, especially as RPA bumps up against cybersecurity and ChatGPT.

Panel moderator: Tim Dickson, CIO at Generac

Panel participants:

• Missie Jakusz, Associate Director of Infrastructure and Operations at JJ Keller


• Luann Hopkins, Head of Automation COE at Generac


• Angie Dahl, Application Management Team Leader, Business Process Automation at Plexus

This informative, relatable discussion is focused on:

• What is RPA and how does it work?


• How do you decide what to automate?


• How does RPA help retain talent?
