The AI transformation journey doesn’t need to start with heavy commitmentAI maturity boost and real actionable benefits in weeks
Challenge
Novable is an AI powered product scale-up. It helps large accounts identify start ups with innovation potential, worth investing, and yes the product is powered by AI, algorithms…
Novable people knows data, algorithms and traditional AI very well! But less the GenAI wave, even if almost all are using LLMs for small use cases here and there. They felt like some opportunities might be missed in the day to day operations (writing specs, preparing customers’ deliveries…)
The goal here : challenge the team, explore new ideas, new tools, new ways of working with GenAI. Is there a room for quick-wins to allow leverages for the company?
Solution
A journey that ran over 2 months, 10 participants:
- Week 1 : A group meeting, 2 hours lunch intro, to identify use cases.
- Week 2 to 7 : 2 Individual cessions per participants in between the 2 meetings, to help them progress and explore their use cases.
- Week 8 : Team sharing and conclusions, see how to improve, go further and scale at team or organisation level.
Results
Beside the high satisfaction rate of the company’s leaders and the participants, there has been
Up to + 30% productivity at the end of the journey for covered use cases
In some key but repetitive tasks (representing up to 15% of the workload of the teams), the use cases experimented, revealed a huge potential not only to fasten the delivery of key outputs for customers, also improved the output quality, and made the work “more fun”.
Start strategic reflexion on potential product pivot
During the discussions and use cases experimentations, it allowed to also discover new products, features, and technologies that started a deep reflexion on market direction and how this could be an opportunity. It initiated a deep strategical thinking track at executive level.

Raphaël impressed me with his deep understanding of AI and the most impact full Use cases to support our Advisory practice and business development activities. We shared our prototypes, tests and ideas and without any préparation he has been able to give us technical and functional advises. Impressive ! and really helpful ✨️

COO @Novable
In the past few weeks, we had the chance to work with Raphael Thys to take a fresh look at how we use AI at Novable.
As an AI-based company, it may sound strange to embark on such a journey, but it's not because our product and services use the best of what AI can offer nowadays that we cannot continue to improve and stay curious, on each and every bit of the value chain.
Raphael’s approach was spot on: pragmatic, focused, and perfectly balanced between coaching and hands-on workshops. Some discussions were at geek-level +++, some absolutely not. In just a few sessions, we achieved real improvements that already show in our daily efficiency.
It’s rare to see such impact from such a compact collaboration, I strongly recommend the format!
Thank you Raphael for your clarity and energy. This was time very well invested.

I recently had the pleasure of joining a lunch talk with Raphael at our office (Novable) on how to effectively integrate and optimize AI in our daily work.
Raphael shared a wealth of practical insights and tools, making the session both engaging and highly informative. What stood out most was his thoughtful approach to problem-solving and how he continuously stays ahead of AI trends, which I find truly inspiring given how fast the field evolves.
I left the session with fresh perspectives and many ideas waiting to be executed. Highly recommend connecting with Raphael if you’re looking to bring more structure and efficiency into your AI-driven workflows.

Raphael worked closely with our team, guiding each of us through projects that leveraged AI for real business goals. Personally, I faced two challenges in my work, and Raphael helped me resolve both with clarity. In retrospect, I realize these solutions were simple and effective (as they should be because in my mind, often things that are unknown make sense to be overcomplicated). Raphael stepped in like a true Zen master and made everything clear. It honestly felt like working with a therapist who brings out the best in you.
What affected me even more is Raphael’s mindset. His personal examples and perspective continue to echo in my head. One of them is that AI doesn’t necessarily make work easier or lighter. If you ask the right questions, stay curious, and dig deeper, it often demands more from you. But with the right guidance (and Raphael of course), it’s absolutely worth it. I think Raphael’s approach empowered me to choose when and how to make AI work for me. And for that, I’m truly grateful!
