Most organizations believe they have Microsoft 365 governance in place—but what they really have is IT control. Policies exist, tools are deployed, and risks are mitigated, yet adoption struggles, Copilot introduces new challenges, and business leaders still lack confidence in the platform.
In this session, we explore a practical, real‑world maturity model that reflects how organizations actually evolve their Microsoft 365 governance programs. Attendees will learn the distinct stages organizations move through—from reactive IT enforcement to business‑aligned, living governance—and why most companies get stuck long before governance delivers real value.
This session focuses less on tools and more on intent, ownership, and operating models. We’ll discuss how governance maturity directly impacts AI readiness, security posture, and user trust, and what leaders can do to move beyond “lock it down” thinking toward scalable, sustainable Microsoft 365 governance.
Attendees will leave with a clear framework to assess their current maturity level and concrete insights on how to advance without slowing the business down.
