AI for managers: strategy, risks, decision-making

Michal currently works at Microsoft as an Agile Coach & Principal Project Manager & PCAI, where he leads an AI transformation portfolio with a team of over 70 people. He was at the birth of the Business Value Program and for his work he received the Microsoft SPARK Award and inclusion in the Platinum Club (reserved for the 200 most influential people within Microsoft).

Michal is not “just” a technical specialist or “just” a manager, but he can connect both levels:

• Technical experience with AI – implementing RAG and agent AI solutions from prototype to production operation, working with Copilot Studio, Azure AI and other tools
• Change management – ​​certified Prosci Advanced Instructor, i.e. a person who trains and coaches other lecturers and leaders in change management – ​​exactly what is the most common weak point in AI adoption
• Governance and security – ISO/IEC 42001 certified auditor (AI management systems), CISO certification, experience with Microsoft Sentinel and Defender
• Business experience – previously Finance Manager at Procter & Gamble (CAPEX and investment planning management for a business unit with a turnover of over 1 billion USD) and Purchasing & Quality Manager at ENGIE

Thanks to this combination, Michal can truly adapt the training to the target group – sometimes he will lead a workshop for company management, sometimes technical training for the IT team and sometimes a practical course for regular users. It is not one universal slide deck, but content tailored to the role, experience and specific situations of the participants.
