Who Is This For?

This resource is designed for digital transformation leads, data governance managers, change enablement specialists, learning and development (L&D) programme managers, and business process owners who are accountable for improving user proficiency across enterprise systems. If you lead user adoption for CRM, ERP, analytics platforms, or cloud services, or if you’re responsible for reducing shadow IT, improving compliance, or scaling self-service capabilities, this toolkit provides the structured methodology you need to succeed.

Without confident, capable business users who can operate effectively within digital systems and data platforms, your organisation faces escalating risks: operational bottlenecks, compliance failures, unchecked shadow IT, and preventable security incidents. The Empowered Business Users Second Edition is the definitive professional development resource for leaders and practitioners responsible for driving user capability, digital adoption, and enterprise-wide data governance. This comprehensive 60+ file digital playbook ensures you can rapidly upskill teams, standardise enablement practices, and reduce critical dependencies on IT, before inefficiencies evolve into audit findings, project overruns, or regulatory penalties.
