Adding Governance Competency to the Maturity Doc #385

Article suggestion

On https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/microsoft-365-community/blob/live/Community/microsoft365-maturity-model--intro.md I would like to recommend a "Governance competency" unless folks feel it falls under (or is already covered!) in one of the other sections. Within Governance would be the Licensing Competency as in "not afraid of the licensing" as was put in a SIG discussion but, more importantly, UNDERSTANDING so that it does not become a bottle neck for adoption and implementation. Thoughts @sympmarc and Co, ?

Hello Ralph,

Great question! We started by trying to embed them in each competency (ex: Communication- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/community/microsoft365-maturity-model--communication). Our focus was to first see if it can be covered within each competency with the intention to revisit once all are done as we might need a standalone governance competency like you are suggesting. Are there some specific topics you'd like covered in this? Would love to hear your thoughts as this might push us in a specific direction :)

Cheers, Emily

It's a great point Ralph Governance is one of those things that appears as both a top down and bottom up. We debated having it as a competency in its own right, took the decision to try and embed it as characteristics in many of the competencies but have as something we might come back to as a standalone competency too. The same is somewhat true of security.

We would be very interested in what you would see in the Governance Competency. Your thoughts will help us get our creative juices flowing. So please start throwing your thoughts on what it encompasses and what some characteristics might be...

and thanks for the feedback!

I waited for awhile to see what has evolved since this posting to give a chance for the community to coalesce on this given the key importance of Governance in its own right ... Also, I have changed to a job where I get to look at this more "en masse" for very large organizations where you would think it is embraced on its own as part of their corporate cultures .., it turns out the results are mixed even at that level! As we are focused on M365 Maturity rather than "Organizational Maturity", we seem to be addressing the governance points pretty well with my only main suggestion perhaps for the overview is to discuss the concept of "agnostic" Maturity either as a precursor or the CAVEAT (yes, the caveat) for achieving the levels here .. all fine and dandy to follow all the items here but if your own corporate culture mandates the undoing or downplaying of your M365 achievements, you might as well not bothered to begin the journey. I am seeing "self sabotage" where one group is diligently moving forward to be the best of the best with another hell bent on stopping them because the change is NOT in their interest .... It almost feels like a Harvard Business Review article or Ted Talk and not the purview of a doc.microsoft.com missive as it even feels preachy to me :) ... Let me know if we should keep the issue open for further discussion or just call it a day with some action we can post separately and more specifically.
