Hamish Sheild
Empowering human-centric, tech-enabled business solutions | Power Platform meets design thinking
Auckland, New Zealand
I'm Hamish Sheild, a business applications consultant and coach, driven by a passion for crafting solutions that truly resonate with people. At the core of my work with AppRising is a commitment to redefining the creation of business applications through a lens of empathy and innovation.
My superpower is bridging the worlds of IT and business, fostering a culture of collaboration and understanding. I champion the transformative potential of low-code platforms, such as Power Platform and Microsoft Dynamics 365, to empower organisations to develop applications that are not just functional but also deeply attuned to user needs.
With a career spanning over 15 years, I've guided many clients in New Zealand and the UK towards the successful execution of complex software projects that have been pivotal in their business evolution.
As a Microsoft MVP and a member of the IDEO U teaching team, I am dedicated to nurturing a community of learners and professionals, sharing insights that shape the future of business applications. My role with IDEO U underscores the importance of design thinking and its relevance in creating impactful, user-centric solutions.
Away from the buzz of technology, I recharge through wing foiling, where I enjoy challenging myself against the elements of the wind and waves.

I will demonstrate (with audience participation) a framework that you can use to define a Power Platform strategy and identify the capabilities and systems that your organisations needs to successfully execute.
