COMPEL Body of Knowledge

COMPEL Glossary / GL-20

CoE Charter

The formal governance document that establishes the AI Center of Excellence — defining its mandate, scope, membership, decision rights, funding model, service catalogue, and success metrics.

What this means in practice

It gives the CoE the organizational authority and clarity needed to coordinate AI transformation across business units without creating a bottleneck.

Context in the COMPEL framework

Produced in the Organize stage. Without a formal charter, Centers of Excellence frequently lose scope, funding, or authority over time and fail to sustain the transformation program.

Where you see this

CoE Charter is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Organize stage — especially within the Operational Readiness layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
