Community

Not a credential, but part of how I stay current.

Active member of the UK Dynamics 365 and Power Platform user groups, and a speaker at the Dynamics 365 & Power Platform UK User Group. Regular attendance keeps me close to how other practitioners are solving the same problems — a lot of what ends up on the blog starts as a conversation at one of these.
