Inside the project
Focus
How can a new technology become part of teams’ actual workflows?
The SNOP Groupe Türkiye project focused on connecting a training need with technology. The organization wanted not just to purchase new tools, but to embed them in how its teams work.
The gap between technology and practice is the real challenge for most organizations. This project focused on closing that gap.
An English-language generative AI capability development program focused on production processes, designed and delivered by Bora Kaykayoğlu.
The main barrier to AI adoption was not a lack of tools, but teams’ inability to connect the technology with their real business problems.
Scope
We delivered an English-language generative AI program focused on production processes for managers and supervisors. With managers, we covered strategic decision-making, while with supervisors we explored applications on the production floor and in daily workflows. We introduced 20 generative AI tools and worked through sample automation scenarios for production and operations using Agent Builder nodes.
Implementation
WHAT ROLE DID GENAI PLAY IN THIS PROJECT?
GenAI was positioned not as a tool that produces ready-made answers, but as a working partner that helps teams address their own problems through stronger questions. Every example was drawn from a real business context.
AI transformation begins not with purchasing new tools, but with people using them to ask stronger questions.
