CollabTalk Podcast | Episode 188 with Michal Pisarek

 

In Episode 188 of the CollabTalk Podcast, we discuss how AI is changing the Microsoft partner/ISV landscape—and why governance work has become AI readiness work overnight. We dig into the real blockers to Copilot and agents (duplicate, outdated, overshared content; unclear ownership; sprawl), why organizations should shrink and prioritize content by risk instead of trying to clean everything, and why tightly-scoped agents often outperform “Copilot everywhere.” You can listen to the podcast above and follow me using your favorite app, such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Soundcloud, or the iHeartRadio app. Be sure to subscribe!
