01 · Context

The starting point

French family-owned industrial SME, around 70 years old. It designs, manufactures and installs technical building solutions: raised floors, data centres, clean rooms. Deep trade expertise. Cegid ERP, a CRM being rolled out, Outlook. The CEO wants to train his teams on AI starting from the fundamentals.

02 · Objective

What had to work

An audience expert in its trade, discovering generative AI. Clear fundamentals, no jargon.

Make generative AI simple: what it can do, where it stops.
Get people practising in the first hour, on everyday cases.
A clear expectation from the leadership: identify use cases with strong operational potential.
03 · Approach

What we did

Three half-days on site, in small groups of about a dozen people.

Step 01

Introduction and demystification

The fundamentals of generative AI: how it works, possible uses, limits, risks and good practice.

Step 02

Business impact and a Copilot focus

Identifying the tasks where AI saves time: writing, summarising, research, document preparation, simple analysis.

Step 03

Practical applications

Hands-on from the start, step-by-step exercises, use cases tailored to sales, operations and administrative teams.

Step 04

At the group’s pace

Accounts created live, plain vocabulary, alternating demo and hands-on. Everyone moves forward together.

04 · Results

Impact

36 people trained. The teams now have the fundamentals and their first uses. More importantly, the training surfaced a high-stakes use case: automating customer-enquiry handling and quote generation — analysing incoming emails, routing them to the right salesperson, extracting the useful information and pre-filling quotes from the ERP.

“AI training, then very quickly a concrete project: automating customer-enquiry handling and quote generation.”

The offer behind this case

This case comes from our Advanced automation : the logical next step when a high-stakes use case emerges from the training.
