Center of Excellence (CoE) (PowerPoint PPTX)

This PowerPoint presentation takes you through the thinking and delivery of a Center of Excellence (CoE).

What is a Center of Excellence?

A Center of Excellence (CoE), also called Excellence Center, is the management framework you put in place to help your organization move forward on projects in a timely manner. It takes the form of either a team, a shared facility, or an organizational entity that provides leadership, best practices, research, support, and/or training for a specific focus area.

The focus area of the CoE can be a technology (e.g. Cloud Center of Excellence, Salesforce Center of Excellence), management philosophy (e.g. Agile Center of Excellence, Lean Center of Excellence), corporate function (e.g. HR Center of Excellence, Supply Chain Center of Excellence), or even a business skill (e.g. Consulting Center of Excellence, Leadership Center of Excellence).

A CoE guides the successful delivery of a program, including the following key activities and benefits:

•  Work with executives to understand the business goals, strategies & KPIs.
•  Solicit feedback from the business and continually update the program/project roadmap.
•  Create a trusting Business and IT partnership.
•  Seek advice from the executive if any program/project showstoppers arise.
•  Adheres to industry standards.

This Center of Excellence framework (PPT) contains valuable information to firstly help you build the business case for the CoE. It then examines the various delivery models that can be utilized with a focus on 3 CoE Models (Consolidated, Federated, and Confederated). Additionally, it provides a breakdown of the roles and responsibilities needed within and around the CoE.
