Chris Huntingford argues that we are entering an era of enablement driven by low-code platforms like Microsoft Power Platform, where not only professional developers but citizen developers and business technologists collaboratively solve real business problems. He traces the shift from technology-centric digital transformation to people-centric enablement, emphasizing reusable digital bricks, governance, data modeling (Dataverse), and cross-role collaboration. Through real-world examples and a multi-perspective stance, he shows how diverse roles—citizen developers, business technologists, and professionals—co-create scalable solutions, with AI and Copilot poised to further lower barriers and expand impact.
