Our Power Platform governance framework

Following are the six stages of our approach with public sector clients that want to optimize this technology.

1. Perform current-state assessment

Working with a wide range of stakeholders, we establish a collective understanding of the policies, procedures, and controls that make up the current governance approach and the actual practices executed every day.

2. Define desired governance framework

Crowe specialists work with key stakeholders in your organization to validate a defined set of governance focus areas based on current-state assessment results. The team works collectively to refine the vision and objectives.

The result? A future-state vision based on your needs, best practices, and industry standards.

3. Prioritize governance gaps

By facilitating prioritization sessions, Crowe can help you define the potential value and importance of each governance focus area, which can enable you to direct time and resources to the most impactful focus areas first – and deliver value faster and more efficiently.

4. Implement solutions for prioritized governance gaps

Guided by the defined list of priorities, our team can help you implement specific policies, procedures, controls, features, training, and monitoring methods to transform current into desired governance.

5. Monitor governance

The Crowe team works with you to design and implement various monitoring mechanisms, such as dashboards, reports, audit history, views, and compliance audits.

While our specialists might be directly involved in the development and initial monitoring of the implemented tools, the goal is to transition those monitoring responsibilities swiftly and fully to the appropriate stakeholders.

6. Refine governance framework

As Power Platform functionality and your operating environment evolve, so, too, should your governance framework. By actively monitoring the governance results, Crowe positions our clients to proactively address deficiencies and identify potential changes to the framework.

Like the monitoring step, the long-term objective is to transition these responsibilities to be fully aligned with stakeholder priorities and expectations.
