Workshops · Advisory · Implementation
Microsoft technology has changed.
Most businesses haven't caught up.
We close the gap three ways - hands-on training, ongoing advisory, and full technical implementation. Led by a Microsoft MVP.

Where most businesses get stuck
You know it could transform your business — but not where to start.
Copilot, AI agents, automation: the potential’s obvious. The roadmap isn’t.
Manual work is quietly costing hours every week.
Tasks that should be automated are still done by hand — across every team.
Your systems and data don’t talk to each other.
Disconnected tools and silos slow every decision down.
You’re not getting the return the technology promised.
The Microsoft stack is in place; the impact on how you work isn’t — yet.
The Outcome
What changes when you work with us
Automate the manual work that’s slowing your team down
Ship the AI and automation projects that keep stalling on your backlog
Make technical decisions in-house instead of waiting on outside help
Build it right the first time — solutions that scale, not a rebuild in 12 months
Give your people back hours — and reinvest them in higher-value work
Turn ‘we should probably use AI’ into solutions that are actually live
Door 1 - Custom Workshops
Build the capability to sustain it
Every workshop is custom-built. We design it with you, validate the skeleton until it is right, then deliver it hands-on - remote or at your office. Roughly 40% teaching, 60% labs. Your team builds real solutions, not slideware.
- Discovery
- Workshop design and validation
- Labs and material build
- Delivery
Popular workshop themes
Most custom workshops are built around one of these themes - or a blend. Yours is designed from scratch either way.
Beginner
Power Platform Essentials for New Teams
Give your team the right foundations from day one. A structured introduction to Power Platform for teams who are new to the stack or expanding from Dynamics 365.
Typically 2 daysRemote or on-siteUp to 15 people
Who it's for
Teams new to Power Platform, or expanding from Dynamics 365 into Power Apps, Power Automate, and the broader platform.
What your team will learn
- How Power Platform fits together — Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Dataverse, and where each one shines
- Power Apps fundamentals — building canvas apps, code apps, vibe apps, and model-driven apps the right way from the start
- Dataverse basics — tables, relationships, security, and why it matters for everything else
- Power Automate fundamentals — cloud flows, triggers, actions, and building reliable automations
- Integration basics — connecting Power Platform to the rest of the Microsoft stack
- Environment and solution basics — just enough governance to not make a mess
What your team walks away with
- A complete mini-solution built as a team during the course
- Foundational knowledge to build on with confidence
- Understanding of which Power Platform tool to use for which scenario
- The right habits and best practices established from day one
Prerequisites
- No Power Platform experience required
- Basic familiarity with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem is helpful
- Ideal for teams coming from Dynamics 365, SharePoint development, or other Microsoft technologies
Beginner to Intermediate
Modern Power Platform Delivery
Power Platform has changed — code apps, vibe apps, modern architecture. If your team is still building the old way, they’re falling behind.
Typically 2 daysRemote or on-siteUp to 15 people
Who it's for
Teams already building in Power Platform who want to sharpen their skills with the latest patterns and best practices — Dataverse, model-driven design, code-first approaches, and modern ALM.
What your team will learn
- Dataverse deep dive — data modelling, security model, when to use it vs SharePoint
- Model-driven apps vs canvas apps vs code apps — when to use which and how to design them well
- Modern Power Apps patterns — code apps, vibe apps, code components, responsive design
- Power Automate architecture — child flows, error handling, avoiding “monster flows”
- Integration patterns — external systems, APIs, custom connectors
- Introduction to ALM — solutions, environments, and deployment fundamentals
What your team walks away with
- A complete solution (data model, app, automation) built to proper standards during the course
- ALM fundamentals they can put to work on their next project
Prerequisites
- Basic experience building canvas apps or Power Automate flows
- No Dataverse or model-driven app experience required
- Ideal for teams transitioning from SharePoint-based solutions
Intermediate to AdvancedMost Popular

Typically 2 daysRemote or on-siteUp to 15 people
Who it's for
Mid-level to senior teams who need to build and ship Copilot Studio and AI agent work for real — not just experiment with it internally.
What your team will learn
- Where Copilot Studio fits in the Microsoft AI stack — and when to use AI Foundry or M365 Copilot instead
- How to build functional AI agents from scratch — connected to real business data
- Advanced agent patterns — multi-agent architectures, orchestration, autonomous agent flows
- Security, governance, and responsible AI for enterprise agent deployment
- How to present AI solutions to non-technical stakeholders with confidence
What your team walks away with
- A functional multi-agent solution they built during the course
- Starter prompt library and agent architecture patterns
Prerequisites
- Working knowledge of Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate)
- Basic understanding of Dataverse
- No prior Copilot Studio experience required
Door 2 - Advisory
An expert in your corner
Whether you're modernising operations, rolling out Copilot, or rescuing a stalled project, you get a Microsoft MVP embedded with your team - setting direction and keeping the work moving.
You're not paying for hours - you're paying for an outcome, and we back it with a results guarantee.
Digital Transformation Strategy
We map where automation and AI will save you the most time and money, then sequence the work so you see results fast — not a 12-month plan that never ships.
The right architecture, first time
Get the big technical decisions right with an expert in the room — so you build it once, not two or three times.
A second set of expert eyes
We review what you’re building and catch the costly problems early — before they reach production.
Hands-on when it counts
We don’t just advise from the sidelines. When it matters, we get into the build alongside your team.
Team Training & Enablement
Hands-on, instructor-led training that builds the in-house capability to sustain what we deliver — so your team keeps shipping long after the work is done.
An expert who knows your business
One person who knows your systems, your goals, and your team — so every conversation moves the work forward, not recaps it.
Two ways to keep us close
Advisory
Steady support for your team's journey.
- Dedicated Teams channel
- Monthly architecture call
- Async support
Advisory Plus
Intensive support when the work is moving fast.
- Everything in Advisory
- Bi-weekly calls
- Priority response
We advise, review, and support your team as they build. We do not build live on advisory calls - when you need something built for you, that is implementation.
Door 3 - Technical Implementation
We build it. You own it.
For businesses with a defined need and no time - or no team - to build it themselves. We architect, build, deploy, and hand over a working solution on the Power Platform, Copilot, and Microsoft AI stack.
- Discovery
- Proof of concept and showcase
- Build
- Deployment
- Support
A written estimate before you commit
Before you commit to anything, you receive a written estimate range based on your requirements - free. If you proceed, a fixed-price discovery produces the full solution design and your fixed build price. No surprises, no open-ended billing.
We carry the delivery risk
We do not bill by the day or by the hour. We agree an outcome and a price, and we carry the risk of how long it takes us. If the agreed value is not delivered, we keep working until it is.
How we work together
Most engagements blend more than one door - an expert in your corner, your team trained alongside, and the solution built for you where it is needed, until the capability lives in-house.
Workshops
Hands-on training that builds the in-house capability to deliver it yourselves.
Advisory
An expert in your corner - direction, reviews, and support while your team builds.
Implementation
When you need it built for you - we deliver the solution and train your team to own it.
Not sure where you'd start? That's exactly what the discovery call is for - we'll recommend the right starting point based on where your business is.
How pricing works
No day rates. No meters running.
Fixed prices, agreed up front
Every engagement has a fixed price before work begins. No day rates, no hourly billing, no meters running.
A free written estimate first
After a first call, you receive a written estimate range based on your requirements - free, before you commit to anything.
Priced on outcomes, not hours
We price against the result you want. If the agreed value is not delivered, we keep working until it is - that is the Powercademy Results Guarantee.
Tell us what you are trying to achieve on a discovery call, and you will have your recommended path - and your estimate - within days.

Why Powercademy
Led by a Practitioner
Howdang Rashid is a Microsoft MVP and MCT who works in the Power Platform, Copilot, and AI stack every day — not someone who stopped building years ago. He's trusted by teams at Capgemini, RAPSI, and Taschen.
This isn't theory — it's structured capability-building and hands-on delivery that actually sticks.
The Powercademy Results Guarantee
We don't get paid for delivering services. We get paid for delivering results.
If you engage fully and don't see a measurable shift in how your business operates after working with us:
We continue working until the outcome is achieved
We release you from the final payment
The risk is ours. The outcome is yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most businesses blend more than one. Workshops build the capability in-house, advisory keeps an expert in your corner while your team builds, and implementation is us building the solution for you. On a discovery call we'll recommend the right starting point based on where you are and what you're trying to achieve - no commitment required.
Every engagement is a fixed price, agreed before work begins - no day rates, no hourly billing. After a discovery call you receive a written estimate range for free, and for implementation work a fixed-price discovery then produces your exact build price. We price against the outcome you want, and we back it with the Results Guarantee.
After a first call, we send you a written estimate range based on your requirements - free, no commitment. If you proceed, a fixed-price discovery produces the full solution design and your fixed build price. We do not bill by the day - we agree an outcome and a price, and we carry the delivery risk.
You get an expert in your corner on an ongoing basis: a dedicated Teams channel, regular architecture calls, and async support while your team builds. Advisory runs at a steady rhythm, and Advisory Plus steps that up with bi-weekly calls and priority response when the work is moving fast. We advise, review, and support - when you need something built for you, that is implementation.
No - and deliberately so. Advisory is us supporting and reviewing your team's build. Building a production solution while teaching at the same time serves neither goal well. When you need something built for you, that is an implementation engagement.
Live and instructor-led - not pre-recorded or self-paced. Remotely via Teams/Zoom, or on-site at your office. We keep groups to around 15 people so everyone gets genuine hands-on support.
Very. Roughly 40% teaching and demos, 60% hands-on labs — your team builds real solutions throughout, not a slide presentation.
For advisory and implementation, just a conversation. For workshops, each attendee needs a laptop and a modern browser, and you provide the Microsoft 365 tenant and Power Platform licences - we send a setup checklist a week ahead so there are no blockers on day one.
