It does this by enabling more people than ever before to create applications, and to leverage mobile platforms and artificial technology to transform organisations with new ways of working.<\/p>\n<p>This transformation is more critical now than ever.\u00a0 Technology is disrupting every industry but is also the key to those that are thriving.\u00a0 The events of the past year have shown that traditional IT risk planning approaches are no match for the benefits of the agility provided by digital transformation.\u00a0 Hence, it\u2019s important to start the digital transformation journey incrementally but with urgency. Of course, adopting a new technology with such broad applicability as Microsoft Power Platform is a transition for any organization.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/powercatlive\">Power CAT team (Customer Advisory Team)<\/a><\/strong> is a team of solution architects within Microsoft Power Platform engineering focused on helping customers\u00a0accelerate their Microsoft Power Platform adoption. In collaboration with some of our most successful customers, we have identified consistent themes, patterns, practices and behaviours that underpin the progress of successful organizations as they implement comprehensive digital transformation with Power Platform.

These stages are not a checklist, nor do these stages need to progress at the same pace along all disciplines, but can be used to sense-check the organisation\u2019s progress and help to inform where it needs to focus in order to advance further.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Goals and Opportunities:<\/h2>\n<p>The goal of the Power CAT Adoption Maturity Model is to help organizations and their partners to think through how they can improve their capabilities and decide which capabilities matter most to them. These decisions should be based not just on the technology capabilities but the digital transformation strategy of the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s now look at the stages and opportunities in each stage in detail:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Level 100 \u2013 Initial<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>(organic, chaotic, ad hoc, individual heroics):<\/em><em> This phase describes the starting point for use of a new or undocumented process<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><\/a><\/em><em>.<\/em> In the Initial phase the organization has pockets of success or experimentation with Power Platform, but without any visibility into organization-wide adoption and use.\u00a0 There is no overall strategy or governance approach, apps are largely in the Default environment and no DLP policies have been put in place.\u00a0 Apps are mostly used by a single team and supported by the makers. Apps primarily use Excel and SharePoint as their data sources. The organisation sees the potential of a strategic investment in the Power Platform, but there is no clear path forward for organisation-wide execution.<\/p>\n<h5>Opportunities:<\/h5>\n<table style=\"table-layout: fixed; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-14394\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/adoption-1-300x194.png\" style=\"border: 2px #000000 solid;\" width=\"300\"\/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-14395\" height=\"173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/adoption-2-300x173.png\" style=\"border: 2px #000000 solid;\" width=\"300\"\/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-14396\" height=\"184\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/adoption-3-300x184.png\" style=\"border: 2px #000000 solid;\" width=\"300\"\/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Organize<a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/powerappsdemos\"> training events<\/a>, hackathons and lunch &amp; learn sessions:<\/td>\n<td>Find and <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/power-platform\/guidance\/adoption\/champions\">nurture champions<\/a>, recognize early success<\/td>\n<td>Get key sponsors and teams on board as you review the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/power-platform\/guidance\/adoption\/roles\">roles and responsibilities<\/a> needed to execute your Power Platform adoption.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4><strong>Level 200 \u2013 Repeatable<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>This phase describes a process that is at least documented sufficiently such that repeating the same steps may be attempted.<\/em> In the context of the Power Platform, organizations in the repeatable stage are taking what they\u2019ve learned in the Initial stage to put structure around the deployment of Power Platform, often through controls implemented by a central IT team or other team focused on Power Platform.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/coestarterkit\">CoE Starter Kit<\/a> is deployed to provide tenant-wide visibility into the use of Power Platform and begin to identify, if not control, applications that are beginning to become broadly used in the organization.
