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. At face value, this sounds like “AI helps you…

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…

There’s a quiet shift happening in how we design applications. Not just faster builds. Not just better tools. But a move away from fixed, pre-designed pages… toward experiences that are generated at runtime. That’s where generative pages come in. What are Generative Pages (really)?

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…

Microsoft Excel has run finance teams, operations, projects, risk registers, asset tracking, compliance logs… you name it. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: When Excel becomes your system of record, your business starts to slow down. Not immediately. Gradually. Quietly. Then painfully.…

This week, I noticed something interesting. My 12 year old son and a 40 year old executive level client off-hand both gave me the exact same reason for not doing something that would lower their stress and improve their productivity.
