New episodes of the Sii Talks podcast. From Generative AI, through Microsoft Copilot to Smart Manufacturing 

How do companies turn emerging technologies into real business value? In the latest three episodes of the Sii Talks podcast, Sii experts and industry practitioners explore the practical side of innovation – from implementing Generative AI, through real-life use cases in manufacturing, to strategic decisions around low-code platforms and software development models. 

All conversations are hosted by Paweł Mazur, Senior M365 Consultant at Sii Poland, who guides listeners through complex technology topics with a strong focus on real-world applicability. 

Episode 1: Your first successful implementation with Generative AI 

The opening episode with Michał Wypych, Partner Solution Architect at Microsoft, focuses on one of today’s most discussed topics -Generative AI, and the reality behind its adoption in organizations. The conversation highlights a crucial challenge: while interest in AI is massive, a significant number of projects never move beyond the proof-of-concept stage. 

Listeners will learn: 

• Why many AI initiatives fail before reaching production 
• What distinguishes experimental use cases from scalable, business-ready solutions 
• How tools such as Microsoft Copilot can support employees in their daily work when implemented with a clear strategy 

The episode emphasizes that success with Generative AI is less about technology alone and more about organizational readiness, data quality, and well-defined business goals.  przede wszystkim od gotowości organizacyjnej, jakości danych oraz precyzyjnie zdefiniowanych celów biznesowych.

Episode 2: AI in manufacturing. From concept to the factory floor 

The second episode takes us into the manufacturing environment, where digital transformation must deliver measurable results. The discussion with Dominik Chrzanowski, AI & Automation Tech Lead at Carlsberg Group, centers on practical applications of AI-based solutions supporting production teams. 

Key topics include: 

• Using AI-powered assistants to support line operators in real time 
• Improving process efficiency, knowledge sharing, and decision-making on the shop floor 
• Lessons learned from deploying intelligent tools in complex industrial settings 

This episode shows how AI can move beyond experimentation and become a hands-on support tool for frontline employees, increasing productivity and reducing operational risk. 

Episode 3: Low-code, Copilot, and the build-vs-buy dilemma 

In the third episode, also with the guests from Carlsberg, the focus shifts to software development strategy. The speakers explore the promises and limitations of low-code platforms, especially when combined with AI and Copilot. 

The conversation addresses: 

• When low-code accelerates delivery, and when traditional development is more effective 
• The real meaning of “speed” and “efficiency” in application development 
• How organizations can make informed build-vs-buy decisions without falling into common traps 

Rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all approach, the episode encourages a balanced, pragmatic view of technology choices aligned with long-term business needs. 

Practical insight for technology leaders 

Together, these three Sii Talks episodes form a coherent story about modern technology adoption: from strategic thinking to operational execution and sustainable decision-making. They are especially valuable for business leaders, IT managers, and innovation teams looking to translate trends like AI and low-code into tangible outcomes.
