Engineering firm Aveng Group was struggling with its enterprise risk and opportunity management, as Excel spreadsheets were leading to inefficiencies, errors and poor data visibility. Jack McCardel explains how they used Power Platform to make the process more streamlined and insightful.
Our traditional method of managing enterprise risks through Excel was cumbersome and prone to errors. It required extensive manual data entry, which o en resulted in inconsistencies and delays.
The lack of integration with other systems also meant that our risk data was siloed, making it difficult to get a comprehensive view of group risks. This fragmented approach hindered our ability to respond swiftly to emerging risks.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
In order to remedy this situation, weekly workshops were run by the Power Platform and IT project management teams with key stakeholders from across the business, gathering insights and feedback that would inform the solution design.
This collaborative approach not only enhanced their technical skills but also fostered a sense of ownership among stakeholders, who became active participants in the development process.
By leveraging Power Platform, we created an integrated enterprise risk and opportunity management app that streamlined our processes. This app automated data entry, provided real-time updates and o ered a centralised platform for risk-related information.
The intuitive interface made it easy for our team to adopt and use the app effectively. Power BI reports were developed, enabling us to gain deeper insights into our risk landscape.
THE IMPACT
The implementation of the Power Platform solution brought immediate benefits. The real-time data visibility allowed us to make informed decisions quickly, improving our overall risk and opportunity management strategy.
The centralised platform provides greater transparency for senior management, ensuring that everyone has access to the latest risk information. Additionally, the ability to generate automated notifications helped treatment owners to stay proactive in managing their risk actions.
The transition from Excel to Power Platform has been a major improvement for Aveng Group. It has not only enhanced our risk and opportunity management processes but also demonstrated the power of digital transformation in driving e iciency and accuracy.
This case study with Aveng Group highlights the importance of adopting innovative solutions to overcome traditional challenges and achieve operational excellence. By embracing Microso Power Platform, we have positioned ourselves to better manage risks and opportunities.
