CoE
P4MGO!® CoE
Centre of Excellence
It listens to and measures operations and change, matures initiatives into a validated Business Case and safeguards good practices. Its primary client is senior leadership.
The Center of Excellence exists so that the organization makes better decisions. Its work does not end in a report, but in an initiative that has been improved and authorized, or withdrawn before it causes harm.
Senior leadership's principal ally
The organization's strategic intelligence.
The Center of Excellence acts in run and change simultaneously, at the strategic level, without belonging to either. It receives information directly from all the methodologies and uses it to build the Radar, the set of indicators with a common scorecard that makes it possible to assess the health of everything implemented.
It is what makes it possible to know the Steering Speed. And it works with panels that bring together the organization's expert knowledge. A panel does not approve: it contributes and cautions, and its caution accompanies the Business Case all the way to the decision maker.
Some of its panels
- Data, privacy and compliance
- Security and cybersecurity
- Sustainability and ethics
- Artificial Intelligence, automation and new technologies
- Creativity
The two tracks
Those who manage and those who govern require different training.
Those who govern are accountable for doing the right things; those who manage are accountable for doing things right.
Managers track
P4MGO!® CoE Centre of Excellence Manager
For professionals responsible for managing. They decide autonomously on everything within their authority and tolerances, prepare, with their recommendation, the decisions that are not theirs to make, and are accountable for their management to the Owner.
Owners track
P4MGO!® CoE Centre of Excellence Owner
For professionals responsible for leading. They are accountable for the outcome to whoever delegated to them, decide under delegation from Governance within their remit, approve what the Manager escalates to them and are accountable for ensuring the initiative remains justified.
