Benefits for the organisation
The programme:
- is designed to work alongside existing change efforts, with some authorities planning to use this as their main catalyst for change
- provides a foundation, even intermediate understanding, of a range of tools that authorities are deploying or already benefiting from, such as SharePoint, Teams, and the Power Platform – including Power BI. The work compliments your implementations, and your facilitators can localise the change
- will add the most value if you have facilitators, managers, and end-users on the programme.
