What this means for your career
You must adapt to a landscape where technical barriers to app development are lowering.

You should focus on understanding business logic and process automation rather than just writing code. Prioritise upskilling in Microsoft Power Platform and AI integration. This shift means your value lies in identifying operational inefficiencies and translating them into automated solutions. Start experimenting with Copilot Studio to build simple tools for your team. Demonstrating this capability will distinguish you as a digital leader who can drive efficiency without waiting for IT resources. Embrace this transition to remain relevant in increasingly automated workplaces.
