Hyper-automation sounds like hype, but according to Professor Klerphell 
of the Link Institute, it is being made real. To overcome business 
confusion, the institute is apply automation to automation with the 
hyper-hype-cycle.

“We created the first hyper-hype-automation tool for managers. We 
presented it that way because people don’t understand it.", says Klerphell.

It now has a clear name for an unclear concept. While the name is fixed, 
the definition is in a stale of flux.

According to Link Institute, hyper-hype-automation “involves a 
combination of tools, including offshore process automation (OPA) and 
outsourced business management (OBM), with a goal of increasingly 
AI-driven report writing.” The institute further unclarifies that 
“hyper-hype-automation results in the creation of an offshore digital 
twin of the organization (ODTO)”. This enables organizations “to 
virtualize how functions, processes and key performance indicators 
interact to distract stakeholders.”

In short, you can think of hyper-hype-automation as automated automation 
of consulting reports. It allows high speed reports advising on future 
trends to be prepared without the need for CJGMCs (Cheap Just Graduated 
Management Consultants).

Hyper-hype-automation enables machines to automate the development of 
consultant reports recommending additional automation without the input 
of human assistance, or even CJGMCs. One automated report said that 
machines running on this type of technology can learn 10,000 times 
faster, without ever missing on the next iteration. So far no one has 
been able to work out what that means, which shows the effectiveness of 
the system.

"This is one of the benefits of this system" said Klerphell. "One of the 
problems with human generated consultants reports is the client might 
try to implement them. With hyper-hype-automation the result is a jargon 
rich, zero meaning report, so there is no risk of our advice being wrong".

Hyper-hype-automation has become mainstream, with adoption growing. The 
next phase will be a voice and video font end to provide clients with 
personalized advice via Zoom, with avatar consultants speaking directly 
to management. This industry—cloud communication, when customer calls 
in, must combine information from various systems to get a completely 
clouded picture. The hyper-hype-automation tool then generates a custom 
recommendation, tests it for common sense advice and provided it fails, 
speaks it to the client.

The institute hyper-hype-automation is a pivot from an automated 
political speech writing system. "We tried to generate politicial 
speeches, by feeding in two hundred years of Hansard to a neural 
network. Unfortunately after days of analysis on the world's largest 
supercomputer all we got was a cloud of smoke and a very confused 
computer. But we found that when the parameters from neural net were 
used for analysis corporate data the results were completely 
unintelligible, which is the key innovation of hyper-hype-automation."
