In this episode, the host shares insights from auditing ten Power Platform Centers of Excellence (CoEs) and explains why many of them fail. The core issue isn’t the technology itself, but outdated governance approaches that rely heavily on manual reviews, documentation, and approval boards. These practices create bottlenecks, slow down innovation, and still fail to reduce risk—often leading to shadow IT.The episode highlights five common failure patterns, including governance living outside the platform, unnecessary approvals, poor environment strategy, unclear ownership of automations, and measuring success by activity instead of business impact.The key takeaway is that modern governance must shift from manual control to automated, platform-driven enforcement. By embedding rules directly into the system, organizations can enable faster delivery, reduce risk consistently, and transform the CoE from a blocker into a true enabler of business agility.
