The MEDEF and the consultant BCG published in June 2022, on the occasion of La Ref Num, a second edition of their study on the digital maturity of companies. Their verdict is clear: French SMEs must accelerate. According to the study, while the health crisis has had an accelerating effect on digital transformation, companies have not fully grasped the extent of the upcoming transformations in their business model.
According to the DESI index (Digital Economy and Society Index), while 25% of European companies use at least two AI technologies, only 19% of French companies use them.
However, the Digital Compass, presented on March 9, 2021 by the European Commission, sets the objective that 75% of European companies use technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data by 2030.
Accelerating the digital transformation is therefore becoming urgent.
The two main obstacles mentioned by business leaders in a survey presented by the European Commission are the cost of adapting operational processes and the cost of adoption. These costs are expected to decrease thanks to AI adoption aids and an evolution in the integration of solutions. Will this be enough? Not necessarily.
More worryingly, according to a survey conducted by SuccessfulAI in 2022 among executives and business leaders of all sizes, 47.06% of respondents agreed with the following statement:
” Artificial intelligence is only for big corporations, startups or governments. ”
The solution lies in acculturation
A real acculturation must be carried out through an accompaniment in the evolution of mentalities: demonstrate to decision-makers that artificial intelligence is accessible, within their reach, with concrete examples, so that they can easily evaluate the opportunities that AI can offer to their company. This information must be provided on a constant basis, so that they can stay up to date.
Towards a revolution in innovation intelligence
The pace of innovation in IT is fast, and the availability of decision-makers, who are highly solicited and flooded with contradictory information, is becoming limited. Convinced that the fluidity of innovation intelligence is the key to accelerating the adoption of AI (90.19% of respondents are enthusiastic about the idea of receiving personalized innovation intelligence by e-mail), we are launching SuccessfulAI, a European platform designed to federate the ecosystem and give it visibility among decision makers.
Our commitment: a sector-specific innovation watch that goes straight to the point and is based on concrete examples, in order to inspire decision-makers, coupled with a catalog of solutions and services that allow them to identify the solutions available to them in a simple and concrete way.
This hybridization, and the creation of fluid bridges between information and action, is the solution to accelerate the adoption of AI.
Aimed at serving the public interest, SuccessfulAI offers decision-makers free industry intelligence tailored to their maturity in digital transformation and AI. The platform is financed through the referencing of solutions and services, for anannual fee of €1,200 excluding VAT. A virtuous business model that puts all companies on the same level: their visibility does not depend on their marketing budget but on the match between the potential needs of a user and the solutions and services offered.
