Embracing Citizen Development
Reading Time 2 mins
In our latest white paper, Gerald Pullen, Gobeyond Partners’ Technology Delivery Director, in collaboration with our partners at Enate, Smart Automation and Velocity IT, unpacks citizen development; why it is important now, key considerations for getting implementation right and why business leaders should be seriously considering how it supports the delivery of business strategy and contributes to business success.
The rise of citizen development in recent years has been exponential and is continuing to grow as organisations realise the transformative potential it can unlock within their current workforce and operations.

Low-Code/No-Code development gives employees the ability to build mobile/web apps and automations without the need to write code, using a visual ‘drag and drop’ approach. This enables the continuous improvement of customer processes without the need for IT intervention, driving a dramatic increase in the pace of change.
This provides the ability, empowerment and time to use Low-Code/No-Code development platforms to find ways to automate the routine and mundane, allowing employees to focus on more value adding work.
Already today, 60% of all custom apps are built outside of the technology function of these 30% are built by employees with either limited or no technical development skills (451 Research)
