About

Vincent Borghoff is a leading voice in the emerging field of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), with a particular focus on its strategic implementation within business and accounting contexts. His research centers on the critical success factors, governance models, and organizational goals that determine whether RPA initiatives truly deliver value. Borghoff’s most influential work, "The Critical Success Factors for Robotic Process Automation" (61 citations), provides a foundational framework for practitioners and scholars alike, identifying the key elements that separate successful automation projects from failures. He further shaped the research agenda with his literature-based study (48 citations), which highlighted the gap between rapid industry adoption and slower academic inquiry, calling for more rigorous investigation. By critically examining why companies adopt RPA and how they govern "lightweight IT" systems, Borghoff offers a nuanced perspective that moves beyond hype. His 2022 publications collectively establish him as a key architect of the scholarly conversation around RPA, helping to steer both future research and practical strategy in this rapidly evolving domain.
