Tomorrow, 9 March 2026, during the evening gala of the 18th edition of the TIME Economic Forum, we will announce the winners of the 8th edition of the Digital Shapers list! However, before we officially announce who will receive this year's ‘Digital Oscars’, we have some essential reading for you.

Business Insider Polska has published an inspiring interview with Robert Pławiak, Chief Digital & IT Officer at Polpharma Pharmaceutical Works and Chairman of the Digital Academy in the 8th edition of our competition.

The interview provides a solid dose of first-hand knowledge from a practitioner who combines the world of IT with hard business on a daily basis. In the interview, Robert touches on the following topics:

  • the true face of a leader – he explains why the ideal Digital Shaper is, above all, a ‘man of action’ who can turn a bold vision into real, measurable results.

  • the secret to successful transformation – he reminds us that the key to success is the PPT formula (People, Process, Technology), where people and processes are the foundation and technology is only a complement.

  • AI saving health – advises on how Polpharma uses artificial intelligence and Digital Twin technology to optimise production and ensure the safety of medicines for Poles.

  • The power of cooperation – explains why, in an era of fascination with AI, collective intelligence and the exchange of experiences between people remain the most important advantage.

Technology is only a tool, and real transformation begins with people and their cooperation,’ says Robert Pławiak.

Get inspired before tomorrow's finale! The full interview is waiting for you on Business Insider Polska.
