Self-assessment

Is your company ready for AI?

More than half of French mid-market companies say they use generative AI. Barely one in ten has it genuinely embedded in how the work gets done. The gap comes neither from budget nor from technology: it comes from five points of organisation, including one that technical assessments always ignore, which is you.

01 Direction

The intent is set by the leader: which problem, for what gain, within which boundaries.

I can state in one sentence the problem AI is meant to solve in my company.

The expected gain is in figures: a delay, a cost or a volume, not a general intention.

My leadership team could restate that direction without me, in the same terms.

I carry this subject myself, rather than a supplier or an IT manager.

02 The internal champion

Someone carries the subject day to day, inside the company, and need not be technical.

A named person carries the AI subject day to day inside the company.

That person has genuinely dedicated time, written into their workload.

They report what teams actually do with the tools, including what fails.

Our external supplier supports that person, never replaces them.

03 The boundaries

Three questions have a written answer: permitted uses, who approves, who checks the data.

There is a written document saying which uses of AI are permitted and which are forbidden.

It is written down who approves an AI output before it leaves the company.

It is written down who checks the reliability of the data feeding our tools.

I know which AI tools my people actually use today.

04 The use case

One single case, high return and low risk, carried through to the end and measured.

We have chosen one priority use case, and only one.

That case started from a concrete irritant in the business, not from a fashionable tool.

It has a deadline and a gain in figures, known to the people working on it.

At least one use case has been carried through to the end and its result measured.

05 You

Mental availability, relationship to control, ability to delegate without letting go.

I give this subject regular thinking time, not only emergency decisions.

I am comfortable handing a task to a tool whose inner workings I do not master.

I resist the idea that value would come from one great technological leap.

My decisions on this subject are taken calmly, not under the pressure of the moment.
