PRACTICAL CASES
Case study: The adoption of generative AI at Acme Consulting
Context and challenges
Acme Consulting is a consulting firm specializing in strategy and innovation, supported by a team of 150 consultants spread across several offices in Paris, London, and Casablanca. Its clients are mainly companies in the financial, industrial, and technology sectors, who seek in-depth market analyses and personalized strategic recommendations.
For several years, the firm has faced growing demand for faster and more detailed deliverables. Its consultants spend on average 40% of their time writing reports and structuring PowerPoint presentations. At the same time, Acme Consulting's management has identified strong competitive pressure, with the emergence of startups and AI solutions capable of automating certain analytical tasks.
Major challenges identified:
- Long production time: Writing reports takes an average of 12 to 15 hours per assignment.
- Heavy cognitive load: Consultants must process large volumes of data to extract relevant trends and insights.
- Personalizing recommendations: Tailoring analyses to each client's specific needs is time-consuming.
- Pressure on profitability:Hourly billing limits profit margins, and optimizing productivity becomes essential.
Write effective prompts for different professional tasks.
Objectives of adopting AI
The company identifies three main objectives for implementing generative AI:
- Automate content production
- Generate automatic summariesof internal and external reports.
- Write strategic recommendations based on best-practice models.
- Summarize large volumes of documents for quick analysis.
- Accelerate monitoring and market analysis
- Leverage AI to extract and structure information from public and internal databases.
- Detect emerging trends and weak signals.
- Train and support teams in adopting AI
- Raise consultants' awareness of AI's capabilities and limits.
- Ensure human oversight to avoid errors or bias in the analyses.
Implementing generative AI
1. Identifying needs and choosing solutions
Acme Consulting conducts an internal audit to identify the most relevant use cases. Several findings emerge:
- 70% of consultants consider document writing a time-consuming task.
- Data analysis and strategic monitoring could be automated by up to 50% thanks to AI.
- AI should not replace consultants but increase their effectiveness.
After several tests, the company chooses two complementary AI solutions:
- A generative AI model for natural language processing, capable of generating, rephrasing, and summarizing complex texts.
- A trend analysis engine capable of scanning thousands of articles, reports, and databases to provide key insights.
2. Training and supporting teams
Integrating a new technology requires gradual upskilling. Acme Consulting puts in place a three-stage training plan:
Phase 1: Awareness (1 month)
- Workshops to discover AI features.
- Presentation of use cases suited to the consulting profession.
Phase 2: Advanced training and pilot tests (3 months)
- Creation of a group of "AI ambassador" consultants testing the tool on client projects.
- Fine-tuning of prompts and of the methods used to validate results.
Phase 3: Large-scale rollout
- Rollout of the tool across all assignments.
- Integration of AI into workflows with a methodology combining AI and human validation.
