Citizen development

Digitization by the people who know the process.

Paying for Microsoft 365 and still working in Excel lists?

Citizen development means your business units build their own solutions with the built-in tools you already license, without programming skills and without months-long IT projects.

We support the way there: make the potential visible, build the first solutions, enable people and set the framework so that initiative does not turn into sprawl.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Microsoft 365 licenses are paid for, and the potential stays unused.
Reports are produced by hand, processes run through Excel and email, and every small change needs an IT project.
This is exactly where citizen development starts.

What we solve for you

We enable your employees to build their own solutions and at the same time give the whole thing the framework it needs. Typical modules include:

Potential analysis

Using realistic examples, we show what your Microsoft 365 environment can already do, identify quick wins and assess your digital maturity level.

AI awareness and automation

Training, talks and discussion formats lower the barrier within the team. We also support automation with Microsoft Copilot and connected AI services.

Tiba PPM and PMO app

Built on Microsoft Dataverse and Power Apps, extended with proven project management standards, integrated seamlessly into Microsoft 365 and customizable.

Micro solutions

Ready-to-use, adaptable modules: SharePoint pages, request apps for Teams, automated on- and offboarding, visitor management and Power BI reports.

Advice from specialists

From Excel automation through Power BI reports to process optimization, always with the goal of letting your teams work independently afterwards.

Citizen development framework

The framework of guidelines, best practices and knowledge sharing that leaves room for innovation and still ensures governance.

How we work: the Tiba 4-Achsenkreuz® (Tiba 4-Axis Cross)

Citizen development is not purely a technology topic. It only works when enablement, rules, processes and tools fit together. That is exactly what we use our guiding model for, the Tiba 4-Achsenkreuz® (Tiba 4-Axis Cross). The emphasis lies on the Technologies & Tools axis, without losing sight of the other three.
