Implementing management systems in organisations of all types and sizes often raises the following question: “What benefits will this bring?” Initial resistance and criticism are common as potential challenges are identified during the implementation process. To address this, it is essential to highlight the advantages of these systems and engage stakeholders in supporting management efforts. While the planning, implementation, use, maintenance, auditing, and improvement of management systems are generally voluntary, certification is frequently driven by external factors, particularly customer demands. Employees also stand to gain significantly, with knowledge and information serving as valuable resources, especially for leveraging artificial intelligence. This article explores the management’s readiness to adopt and fully utilise two management systems based on international standards: the ISO 30401 Knowledge management system (KMS) and the ISO/IEC 42001 Artificial intelligence management system (AIMS). Through interviews, we assess the challenges and solutions associated with implementing these systems, whether planned or partially adopted. The findings illustrate the synergistic benefits of integrating the KMS and AIMS, demonstrating how their combined use can enhance Integrated Management Systems (IMSs). Such integration supports comprehensive planning, operation, and performance evaluation of processes and services while also promoting continuous improvement.

This chapter delves into the transformative impact of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in Human Resources (HR) operations, illustrating how digital transformation is essential for maintaining competitiveness in contemporary business environments. Despite the proven benefits of RPA in other sectors, its integration in HR remains limited but promising. The chapter discusses the significant role of RPA and HR in optimizing organizational performance through enhanced data utilization and automation. It highlights how AI-driven data analytics can provide actionable insights into employee performance and decision-making processes. The chapter identifies challenges in adopting RPA and proposes solutions to transform HR departments to make them more effective. Key areas for RPA application in HR include recruitment, onboarding, data management, payroll, and compliance. The overarching theme is that RPA can significantly automate routine tasks, provide strategic insights, and enhance overall organizational efficiency, making HR teams more agile and evidence-based.
