Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Power BI Governance Accelerator?
The Governance Accelerator is a structured 6-week program that takes your Power BI environment from ungoverned to enterprise-ready. It includes a full tenant audit, governance framework design, implementation of security and compliance controls, deployment pipeline setup, and Center of Excellence establishment. It is specifically designed for organizations that need governance fast -- without a 6-month consulting engagement.
Is this program suitable for regulated industries like healthcare or financial services?
Yes. The Governance Accelerator includes compliance control mapping for HIPAA, SOC 2, FedRAMP, FISMA, and GDPR. We have delivered this program for health systems, banks, insurance companies, and federal agencies. The compliance overlay is customized based on your specific regulatory requirements.
What if we already have some governance in place?
The Week 1 Assessment phase identifies what you already have, what is working, and what needs improvement. We build on your existing governance investments rather than starting from scratch. Organizations with partial governance typically see the biggest ROI because we fill specific gaps rather than implementing everything from zero.
How many people from our team need to be involved?
We need 2-3 core team members involved throughout the 6 weeks: typically a Power BI admin, an IT security lead, and a business stakeholder. Additional stakeholders participate in Week 1 interviews and Week 6 training. The core team commitment is approximately 8-10 hours per week during the program.
What happens after the 6-week program ends?
You receive 30 days of post-launch support for governance questions. The CoE charter and documentation ensure your team can maintain governance independently. We also include a quarterly governance review session for the first year (included in the program price) to assess adoption, address new requirements, and evolve the framework as your organization grows.
