Administering Cloud EPM: The Platform Beneath the Business Processes · Module 17 · The EPM Center of Excellence

Why the last module and not the first

Lesson 187 of 201 · 1 min

The source material opens with this topic. This course closes with it, deliberately. GOVERNANCE IS A SET OF CAPABILITIES, AND YOU CANNOT DEFINE CAPABILITIES YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. What you can do now that you could not at the start. Design an identity structure. Build a role model. Secure a perimeter. Automate operations. Recover an environment. Monitor an estate. THOSE ARE NOT TOPICS. THEY ARE THE CAPABILITY INVENTORY OF THE TEAM THIS MODULE BUILDS. A CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IS NOT A GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE BOLTED ONTO A TECHNOLOGY. IT IS THE STANDING TEAM THAT HOLDS THE CAPABILITIES YOU HAVE JUST SPENT SEVENTEEN MODULES LEARNING. Who this module is for: everyone — but especially the learner who is currently the entire platform function and needs to explain why that is not sustainable. If that is you, the last lesson in this module is the one you came for.
