Managerial and AI transformation

AI won't transform your organization. Your teams will.

We believe AI is an amplifier: it speeds up what already works in an organization, and magnifies what doesn't.

With our senior consultants and partners, we help your leaders and teams take their next step: strengthen your foundations, then choose how far, and how fast, to go with AI.

Seven tenths of the work is about people, not technology.

74% of companies still struggle to achieve and scale value from AI.

The foundations

Before the tools, the foundations

AI builds on what is already in place, so a transformation starts with these six foundations.

Not sure how solid yours are? Our managerial maturity audit analyses 13 key work processes and shows where to start.

See the audit

  1. Purpose

    Why the organization exists beyond its economic results, in terms its clients, employees and partners recognize.

  2. Culture, values and behaviors

    Shared values only count once they show up as everyday behaviors, starting with leaders'.

  3. Strategy

    The direction and the major choices, including where people, money and technology go.

  4. Objectives

    Precise, measurable, realistic goals, each one tied to the overall vision.

  5. Processes

    The sequences of work that produce a reliable result, reviewed regularly to keep up with change.

  6. Organization, roles and responsibilities

    Who does what and who decides, in a structure that helps information flow and decisions get made.

AI maturity

How people and AI work together

A way to locate your teams today and agree on where you want them to be, not a race to the last level.

  1. Start

    Traditional team

    People work with people; AI plays no part in how the team operates.

  2. L1

    Team engaged with AI

    Each person uses an AI assistant for their own tasks, alongside the usual teamwork.

  3. L2

    Team activated by AI

    People hand defined tasks to AI agents and remain responsible for the result.

  4. L3

    AI-native team

    AI agents become members of the team and work with each other, inside workflows that people design and oversee.

  5. L4

    AI-native organization

    People and agents work across team boundaries, on workflows that run through the whole organization.

The right level depends on the work each team does. We help you agree on a realistic target, team by team, and on the path to reach it.

How we work

Five steps, at your pace

Lasting adoption needs managers to carry it. Every engagement follows the same arc, scaled to your size and ambition.

Participants in a NextGen workshop facing flipcharts
  1. Understand Share the vision, give the change meaning and align teams on why AI matters for their work.
  2. Mobilize Engage managers and identify the people who will relay adoption on the ground.
  3. Experiment Test concrete use cases on real work, in a frame where trying is safe.
  4. Measure Assess impact and real gains, and learn from what worked and what didn't.
  5. Embed Make the new practices last and build AI into everyday processes.

Scaling AI

Five tracks to run side by side

Moving from occasional use to everyday practice is rarely a single project: here are five tracks an organization can run in parallel, and what we bring to each.

  • Self-directed learning

    People build their own skills and share what they learn, so confidence with AI grows across the organization.

    Our roleWe design learning paths and practice formats so new skills stick.

  • AI coaching

    Coaches help each team bring AI into its daily work, one step at a time.

    Our roleOur AI coaches work alongside each team, on its own workflows.

  • Champions

    Volunteers test new uses, prove what works and share it with everyone else.

    Our roleWe set up, train and run your champions community.

  • Shared AI platform

    Approved tools and agents, governed in one place, that every team can use with confidence.

    Our roleWe co-build the governance and an AI charter, in line with the EU AI Act.

  • Tiger team

    A small team delivers a critical project with AI at its core, then passes on what it learned to other teams.

    Our roleWe coach the tiger team and organize the hand-over of its lessons.
