RPA Governance Drawn As Org Topology

Description

A white three-column diagram compares RPA Center of Excellence operating models, with a legend showing a blue hexagon as "CENTER OF EXCELLENCE" and a green circle as "PRODUCT LINE." The columns are "Centralized," "Decentralized," and "Federated," each with network-style node graphics and descriptions: centralized says RPA standards and procedures are set by a central CoE with an enterprise-wide management mechanism; decentralized says all CoE functions are replicated for each Product Line and managed at Product Line level; federated says standards, procedures, and controls are set by the CoE while development, deployment, and maintenance are owned by Product Lines. The visible Pros list includes centralized benefits such as streamlined proposal Management, alignment of Automation goal with enterprise Vision, procurement efficiency and cost leverage, shared services and chargeback culture, easier enforcement of process/policies/SOPs, knowledge reuse, and economies of scale; decentralized benefits say CoE is repeated everywhere, set up and governing by Product Line, and local employees have power and motivation to own and implement. Federated Pros list Product Lines owning prioritization and metrics, use-case selection based on CoE standards and templates, easier process reinforcement, effective knowledge dissemination, reuse of code libraries/repositories and other resources, avoiding Product Line cross-challenge priorities, and Product Lines feeling empowered and ownership.
