This symposium explores the challenges faced by organizations in their digital transition and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. While some companies have a solid data structure in place, many, particularly VSEs and SMEs, are still in their early stages. Presentations will examine the organizational challenges, opportunities and risks associated with AI, as well as the necessary evolution in the skills of decision-makers. The role of consultants in supporting organizations through these transformations will also be discussed, drawing on concrete examples and case studies.
