Low-Code Citizen Development Acceleration at High Scale: 4 Month Implementation

This comprehensive program is designed to embed a culture of citizen development across your enterprise, transforming how you innovate and solve business problems. Over 4 months, we guide your organization through a fundamental shift in IT management and delivery, enabling you to harness the full potential of low-code with Power Apps, Power Automate and Copilot Studio at scale. This is not just about tools; it's a strategic cultural change that shifts your IT department from a bottleneck to an enabler of business-led innovation.

Problems Addressed:

• Low-code adoption is happening in silos without a clear strategy, leading to inconsistent results and missed opportunities.
• The organization struggles to move beyond small, isolated Power Apps to a scalable, enterprise-wide innovation model.
• There is a significant gap between business needs and IT's capacity to deliver solutions, creating a large backlog of unmet demand.
• Fear of security risks and lack of governance prevents the organization from fully empowering its citizen developers.

Scope:

• Phase 1: Foundation & Governance: We establish the complete Power Platform Center of Excellence (CoE), defining the operating model, technical policies, and security guardrails. This creates the safe and reliable foundation for scaling citizen development.
• Phase 2: Systematic Innovation Framework: We implement a structured process for the entire innovation lifecycle:
  • Discover: Establish channels to source and capture ideas from all employees across the organization.
  • Validate: Create a cross-functional steering group to assess ideas based on business value, technical feasibility, and people impact, ensuring only high-value projects proceed.
• Phase 3: Scaled Enablement & Development:
  • Develop: Launch agile development teams, blending internal and external experts to build validated solutions and transfer knowledge, all with Power Apps, Power Automate and other Power Platform-based technologies.
  • Enablement: Roll out targeted training programs, workshops, and a community of practice to upskill and support a growing network of citizen developers.
• Phase 4: Continuous Improvement & Scaling:
  • Use & Maintain: Establish processes for application lifecycle management, user support, and backlog management to ensure long-term value.
  • Scale: Expand the governance model and enablement programs to new business units, driving adoption across the entire enterprise.

Deliverables:

• A Fully Operational, Enterprise-Wide CoE: A mature Power Platform Center of Excellence that governs and supports citizen development at scale.
• Embedded Innovation Culture: A demonstrated shift in how the organization sources, validates, and develops digital solutions, led by the business.
• A Thriving Citizen Developer Community: A large, active, and self-sustaining community of trained employees who are building high-quality, compliant solutions.
• A Portfolio of High-Impact Applications: A portfolio of successfully deployed Power Apps and Power Automate solutions that are delivering measurable business value.
• Self-Sustaining Operating Model: A clear and documented operating model for ongoing governance, support, and innovation that allows the organization to continue scaling independently.
