This concept came up recently during a group discussion with my fellow mentors at Women in Technology event and it got me thinking. How boundaries are the extension and inversion of your values.

AI is now part of almost every business strategy conversation. But in the rush to automate, optimise, and scale… there are two fundamental human realities that are being consistently overlooked. And if we ignore them, we don’t just lose value, we create new problems. 1. Automating the “easy work” can frequently make jobs worse, not…

A significant shift has just landed for Power Apps Canvas development and it’s not just another feature update. Microsoft has introduced the Canvas Apps Authoring MCP plugin, enabling coding agents like GitHub Copilot and Claude to actively participate in building canvas apps alongside makers and developers.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is organisations starting with: “We need an AI strategy.” Well sure… But more than that… you need a business strategy that includes AI. AI is not the goal. It’s a lever. If you don’t anchor it to tangible outcomes, you’ll end up with: The shift that works: Start…

You’re hearing the word “agent” everywhere lately… and if you’re not deep in AI, it can feel like the tech industry suddenly invented a new buzzword overnight. So let’s simplify it. 👇 What is an AI agent? At its simplest: 👉 An agent is software that can take actions to achieve a goal. Not just…

Sharing bad news is uncomfortable. Giving critique is uncomfortable. Even experienced leaders hesitate. In my experience, trust usually isn’t damaged by the news itself, it’s typically shaped by how clearly and steadily it’s delivered. Here are a few small wording shifts that can really help. Instead of: “I’m sorry to have to tell you this,…

If you’ve ever been a part of a backlog planning session for business innovation, automation or AI envisioning (like I regularly run), you know the moment. We spend hours with the business: By the end, some expert (like me) may inevitably ask: “So… is this a low-code solution or an AI solution?” And that’s where…
