Expertise

What we bring you

01

How do you make AI a lever rather than a risk?

Artificial intelligence

No miracle promises, no timidity: AI applied with discernment, in service of your strategy.

  • Data and AI assessment: maturity, high-impact use cases, expected gains; AI due diligence for investors
  • Strategy and roadmap: priorities, business cases, choice of solutions and partners
  • Client-side project support: specifications, vendor selection, project steering through to deployment
  • Governance, ethics and compliance: AI committee, risk management, AI Act
  • Support for leaders and teams: AI literacy and change management

Assessment carried out by a Bpifrance-accredited expert and co-financed by the Diag Data IA programme for eligible French SMEs and mid-sized companies. We do not carry out technical development (agents, integrations): we entrust it to specialised partners and steer its delivery.

Client case · International business promotion network

For a network of 50 offices worldwide, we led, in partnership with Araïko, a Diag Data IA assessment co-financed by Bpifrance. Some twenty interviews in France, Germany and Italy made it possible to identify and prioritise 21 use cases, three of which were studied in depth, with estimated gains and costs. The 18-month roadmap starts with the essentials: building the teams’ AI literacy and an AI usage charter, before the first tools are deployed.

02

Are your decision-making bodies equal to your ambitions?

Governance

Boards and leadership teams that genuinely challenge and help you make better decisions.

We draw on the BMMI methodology: a five-level maturity model to assess a governing body, set it up or help it progress.

  • Boards: board of directors, supervisory board, advisory board and specialised committees – assessment, set-up, facilitation
  • Leadership teams (management committee, executive committee): set-up, facilitation and evaluation
Client case · Digital press start-up

From the company’s creation, we set up a supervisory committee for its founder, recruited five independent figures with complementary profiles (entrepreneurship, publishing, software, public sector, digital advertising) and chaired its work. For eight years, the committee challenged the founder’s strategic choices and supported him through key milestones: international expansion, then a funding round with a venture capital fund. Having become a strategic committee, joined by the fund’s representatives, it supported the company all the way to its exit: the acquisition by a major media and telecoms group.

03

Do your teams know where you are heading?

Strategy

A clear direction, understood and owned by your teams.

  • Strategic platform: vision, missions, values, ambitions
  • Brand platform and naming
  • Fundraising
  • Strategy seminars
Client case · Social economy non-profit

For a non-profit that welcomes, houses and supports people facing poverty and exclusion, we co-built its brand platform: vision, missions, ambition, values and personality. After individual interviews, a one-day workshop brought together 24 people representing the whole organisation, from management and the board to staff, volunteers and the people it supports. Approved by the board within four months, the platform then served as the starting point for a new tagline, tested with its audiences.

04

Where will your next growth drivers come from?

Growth

Winning new markets, at home and abroad, methodically.

  • Sales strategy
  • Sales organisation assessment
  • New market entry and internationalisation
  • Competitive benchmarking
Client case · US software publisher

We supported a US software publisher in its expansion across Europe, working alongside a major international IT group as partner. This led to the signing of its first European client, a major French telecoms operator. According to its VP Sales, our support significantly accelerated its market penetration and improved its profitability in Europe.

About

A European collective committed to lasting performance

Alongside business leaders and investors, we work where the decisions that shape a company are made: its governing bodies, its strategic choices, its new markets and, increasingly, its transformation through artificial intelligence.

A Board has to be run and kept alive, making sure every member genuinely contributes and keeping discussions flowing: that is what Habeas Corpus does very well. I value the in-depth work, the methodology and the quality of the discussions.
