The method

5 strategic phases to succeed
in your AI transformation

Each phase is a step you validate before moving to the next. You keep control, you keep the budget, you see what is delivered. No phase starts until the previous one has produced its result.

R

Review

We look at what exists in your company: where the data is, which processes are heavy, who does what. No audit dragging on.

2-4 weeks
A

Analyze

We extract two or three use cases that actually pay off, costed, presented to your leadership. The rest waits.

2-3 weeks
P

Pilot

We build the first use case for real, in your environment. Not a demo, a version that runs.

4-8 weeks
I

Iterate

We fix, we adjust, and we move to the second case. What works stays; what doesn't is cut, period.

3-6 months
D

Deploy

We expand to all your teams, with clear rules: who can use what, with which data, under what supervision.

6-12 months

What's inside

A book to use,
not to quote

  • Know where you actually stand

    50 questions to position your company: where you're ready, where you're not, and how you compare within your sector. 45 minutes to complete.

  • Run the numbers before signing

    Ten budget scenarios, from €38,000 to €450,000. You see what it costs, what it pays back, when you break even, and where it can slip.

  • Ten real cases told straight

    Accounting firm, e-commerce, manufacturing, HR, B2B services. Investment figures, deployment timelines, pitfalls on the way. Names anonymized, numbers real.

  • The twenty ways to fail

    Launched too big, sponsor fading, data no one cleaned, vendor thinking for you. We've seen them all.

  • Bring your teams along, don't force them

    Four typical profiles within your teams facing AI. How to speak to each, who to convince first, and who to let come later.
