AI Stewardship with Microsoft: Why Every Company Needs an AI Stewardship Program — and How to Build One

The 10 Architectural Mandates That Stop Copilot Chaos

Most organizations think Copilot is just a helpful layer that writes drafts faster. That misunderstanding is exactly how silent data leaks, invented policies, and irreversible automation changes begin. This episode argues that Copilot is not a colleague or assistant at all, but a distributed decisi…

The Dynamics AI Agent Lie: It's Not Acceleration, It's Architectural Erosion

Everyone thinks their controls still work because the dashboards are green — until the copilot makes a perfectly “authorized” decision no one can actually explain. This talk makes the case that tools like Dynamics 365 Copilot don’t just speed up work; they quietly change what control even means.…

Entra ID - The Conditional Chaos Engine

Everyone thinks their Azure outages and breaches start with networks, costs, or misconfigured virtual machines, but this episode argues that the real failure almost always begins much higher up, in identity itself. The speaker reframes identity not as a simple login service but as Azure’s true cont…

Why Fabric Data Models Drift — and Why DAX Can’t Save Them

Most analytics teams believe their data models enforce truth—but in reality, they quietly rewrite it.

Stop Delegating AI Decision: How Spec Kit Enforces Architectural Intent in Microsoft Entra
Dec. 31, 2025

Stop Delegating AI Decision: How Spec Kit Enforces Architectural Intent in Microsoft Entra

The demo worked in ten minutes. The audit took ten weeks. That gap is where most modern security failures are born. A team asked an AI agent to wire up identity, and it did exactly what it was trained to do: choose the fastest, most common path. Secrets instead of certificates. Broad permissions in…
Microsoft Fabric Governance Explained: Why Your Data Model Will Drift
Dec. 30, 2025

Microsoft Fabric Governance Explained: Why Your Data Model Will Drift

Entropy in the Lakehouse: Fabric’s Answer to Identity Chaos
Dec. 27, 2025

Entropy in the Lakehouse: Fabric’s Answer to Identity Chaos

The system never betrayed your data — it only obeyed it. The real problem begins the moment identity is treated as an assumption instead of a constraint. What looks like harmless flexibility at small scale quietly turns into structural uncertainty as data grows, sources multiply, and systems change…
The Teams Manager Illusion
Dec. 26, 2025

The Teams Manager Illusion

Here’s the thing nobody admits about modern governance: it isn’t designed to finish—it’s designed to continue. This episode follows a sleepless journey through Microsoft 365 governance, where dashboards glow amber, scores hover just shy of “good,” and every review promises progress without resol…
