– Jacob B\u00f8tter, Entrepreneur and Author.<\/p>\n According to Jacob B\u00f8tter, it should be as easy to realize an idea as coming up with it in the first place, he states. Adding to that, there is momentum in the industry, as it faces an increasing lack of coders and developers. Jacob B\u00f8tter predicts that our ambitions grow faster than we can train and educate coding professionals. And that is why businesses need to leave the safe harbors of traditional technology and allow individuals to start their no-code journey and become so-called citizen developers.<\/p>\n This process starts by creating smaller teams. Jacob B\u00f8tter stresses the importance of a minimum viable product approach, testing ideas, and simultaneously gaining concrete insights about technology and tools.<\/p>\n \u201cThree years ago, I had never worked on apps, but now I build a new app every week.\u201d He says concluding his speech.<\/p>\n Anders Romare, CIO of Novo Nordisk, has never built an app, but he is responsible for Novo Nordisk introducing citizen development to 48.500 employees to unleash innovation and increase productivity among individuals, teams, and across the entire business.<\/p>\n In the last couple of years, Novo Nordisk has gone from being a worldwide pharmaceutical company to being a tech pharma company with an ambitious digital strategy. Instead of just selling medicines and supplies, the products now also come with either an app or data. And Novo Nordisk is looking to not just offer pharmaceutical products, but also the knowledge and predictive insights that can prevent diseases. \u201cWe are a pharma company, but we are going to amplify our purpose through technology and data,\u201d Anders Romare states.<\/p>\n With an ambitious digital strategy and pro-developers being a scarce resource, it has been imperative for Novo Nordisk to enable individuals of the organization to optimize their everyday work-life without drawing heavily on IT resources. That\u2019s one of the reasons why Novo Nordisk has introduced Microsoft Power Apps.<\/p>\n – Anders Romare, CIO, Novo Nordisk.<\/p>\n \u201cWe see a need for speed and flexibility \u2013 something that has a small corporate impact can have a huge impact for the team\u201d. Anders Romare says, stressing how powerful you are as a business when individuals in your organization can create their own small scall innovations through low code apps.<\/p>\n The technical specialists at Microsoft ensure security that enables full governance and adherence to data regulations like GDPR when using the Power Platform.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m responsible for all IT in the company. I can\u2019t control everything, but I can put up guardrails and give people the best tools to work with,\u201d Anders Romare says. He continues: \u201cI\u2019m not concerned about putting our knowledge into platforms like power apps, because of the sustained level of control Microsoft delivers.\u201d<\/p>\n But what about the security and data privacy related to everyone building apps? That question was one of the primary concerns of the day when discussing prototypes in Power Platform.<\/p>\n Julie Strauss, General Manager of Power Platform Pro Developer and Admin Experiences at Microsoft, joins the conversation remotely to answer this important question. According to her, we see three modern imperatives for technology in every organization: Trust, talent, and transformation. And the power platform can cover all three dimensions. Julie Strauss points out that no-code probably already is happening in your organization without you knowing it:<\/p>\n – Julie Strauss, General Manager of Power Platform Pro Developer and Admin Experiences, Microsoft.<\/p>\n Julie Strauss argues that businesses need to get apps out of the shadow of IT and shine a light on them. \u201cWith a platform that is built for transparency and setting up guardrails, you get transparency about what is happening at all times,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Julie Strauss also predicts that the shortage of coders will only worsen, sparking more people to try on no-coding. She sees a shift in paradigm from building a single app to managing apps at scale. \u201cLow-code is about empowering the business to push innovation forward – we don\u2019t see many companies who can afford not to invest in enabling businesses to drive digital change fast.\u201d Julie Strauss argues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cTech has previously limited how fast I could build a new business.\u201d These words come from entrepreneur and author Jacob B\u00f8tter.
