Become a Citizen Developer
Enabling employees to use self-service tools, like the Microsoft Power Platform, to create simple automations is an effective way to drive innovation across your organisation.

Drive automation at scale across your organisation
Your employees know their jobs best, and with Power Platform they can be empowered to solve pain points and improve processes by automating tasks and building simple applications, freeing up their time for more value generating work. We call this Citizen Development. It’s predicted that the number of active citizen developers at large enterprises will be at least four times the number of professional developers by 2023.
With the interest in citizen development growing, as an organisation you will want to ensure there is governance in place that drives organic growth and innovation whilst also providing a place of support and security. This is what we call a Centre of Excellence. Creating a Centre of Excellence provides direction for citizen development through:
Setting standards of best practice and governance
Maintaining consistency
Sharing knowledge
Providing encouragement and inspiring citizen developers
Upskilling citizen developers through training and mentorship programmes
Empowering Co-op’s work strategy
We have worked closely with Co-op over the past four years to support the delivery of their modern work strategy. Having successfully achieved M365 adoption, the next step was to empower colleagues to leverage the power of Power Platform and deliver their own solutions to eliminate painful processes and improve ways of working. This video was part of a recruitment campaign that we designed to inspire Co-op colleagues to apply to become Citizen Developers.
