Prepare to be inspired as we sit down with Kenric (Ken) Auguillard, a principal program manager from Microsoft, who unveils the secrets behind his meticulous approach to leveraging the Power Platform for environmental strategies. Known affectionately as "DrNo," Kenric shares the journey that earned him his nickname and how his methodical mindset has driven success. Outside the tech world, Kenric wears many hats—he's a Texas-style barbecue enthusiast, an autocross racing aficionado, and a devoted family man. Get a peek into his personal life, including his daughters' impressive strides in tech and his wife's unwavering support over three decades.

Next, we explore the intricacies of managing large-scale environments within the Power Platform, an area where Kenric's team excels. Supported by coaches like Ryan and Zohar, Kenric discusses the importance of understanding and embracing problems to discover real solutions. We shed light on the surprisingly low adoption rates of managed environments and the continuous need for education on their benefits. Through examples from Microsoft's internal environment, which boasts over 25,000 environments, Kenric illustrates the Power Platform’s robustness and scalability.

Finally, we delve into the crucial role customer feedback plays in the rapid development and enhancement of the Power Platform. Kenric tackles common misconceptions about the platform's enterprise capabilities and emphasizes the importance of staying informed about its evolving features.
