Journey to AI: from AI hype to business impact
Journey to AI is PrismIA’s flagship audit. In four to six weeks, it assesses your organisation’s AI maturity, identifies your high-impact use cases, from targeted automation to AI agents, and delivers a prioritised, actionable roadmap aligned with your objectives. The approach combines your leadership’s strategic vision with the reality on the ground, through eight targeted interviews with your key functions.
Four gaps separate the hype from the impact
Organisations that struggle to create value with AI rarely stumble on technology. The blocker is four gaps, which the audit pinpoints precisely and helps close.
Strategic gap
AI initiatives disconnected from the company’s objectives, with no executive sponsorship or governance framework.
Value gap
Use cases picked opportunistically, low-impact, with no measured ROI or capitalisation of lessons learned.
Security and compliance gap
Governance that does not allow safe deployment: shadow AI, unaddressed nLPD, GDPR and AI Act risks.
Execution gap
Pilots that stall, siloed data, no scaling, dependence on a single key person.
Five steps, four to six weeks
The audit involves your teams for about half a day per participant and relies on targeted interviews rather than long questionnaires. A Strategy & Vision interview with your leadership opens the process, and one major use case is given a dedicated deep dive.
Kickoff
Mission launch, scoping of perimeter and roles, first snapshot of your AI usage.
AI training (optional)
A session to give your teams a common foundation before the interviews.
Audit
Documentary analysis and eight interviews with leadership and key functions (HR, sales, finance, IT, security).
Evaluation
Maturity measurement, prioritisation of use cases (AI and automation) with ROI analysis, and a deep dive on one major use case.
Restitution
Presentation of the roadmap and recommendations to your leadership, then discussion of next steps.
What’s next?
The restitution opens onto the project transition: implementing your roadmap.

Adoption & value
Real usage, measurement of the value created, capitalisation of lessons learned.
Operating model & change
Processes, change management, scaling.

Which companies
Journey to AI is aimed at SMEs and organisations in French-speaking Switzerland that sense AI’s potential without knowing where to start, that have run isolated pilots without managing to scale them, or that must arbitrate between several projects and convince their leadership. It is especially relevant in highly regulated sectors (healthcare, finance, public sector), where security, compliance and data sovereignty are decisive.
- Deploying Microsoft Copilot or AI tools that need framing and securing
- Shadow AI: employees already use AI, with no framework or governance
- nLPD compliance and management of data-related risks
- A proliferation of AI ideas with no prioritisation or roadmap
- Competitors gaining ground with AI in your market
- Clients and tenders asking where you stand on AI
