AI awakening

Understand AI, what it changes, what it can do and where it falls short, so you can move forward with clarity.

A keynote, training, workshop, or coaching session: a first clear frame to open the topic with your teams and build AI literacy in your leadership, so everyone understands fast and gets the early calls right.

You are in the right place if…

  • You hear about AI everywhere but still lack solid guideposts
  • You want to open the topic with a leadership team, a department, or a team before going further
  • You want to see what AI actually does, with no jargon and no hype
  • You need a clear read on the opportunities, the limits, and the things to watch out for
  • You want a first step matched to where your maturity really stands

Content

Everything you will understand
about AI by the end of a session

Depending on the format you choose, the AI awakening offer can cover all or part of these topics, tailored to your context and your audience:

  • The fundamentals of AI and generative AI
  • What AI can actually do today
  • The kinds of tools out there and how to make sense of them
  • The most common use cases in business
  • Rights and obligations: ethics, GDPR, data security
  • Good practices to get started and the risks to plan for
What we believe

You don't start with a tool. You start by understanding.

Before you test anything, pick a piece of software, or launch a project, you need a first shared base of understanding. That is what the AI awakening offer gives you: the right foundations, at the right level, for the right people.

Understand fast, decide right, move forward with clarity.

How it runs

How an AI awakening
engagement runs

Every engagement starts with a conversation, so we begin from your reality rather than a standard program.

Step 1
Scoping & framing
Start from your reality, not a standard program.

We start with your context: who it's for (teams, leadership, an executive), how mature you feel you are, and what's at stake in your sector. That conversation sets the most useful format, scope, and depth.

Step 2
Tailored session
Content built for your organization, not a generic audience.

Keynote, webinar, training, workshop, or coaching: we tailor the content and the teaching to your organization. The examples come from your own line of work, with no needless jargon and no broad generalities.

Step 3
Readout & direction
A clear recommendation on the next step.

At the end of the engagement, we review what was learned and identify the most useful next step for your organization. Go deeper, experiment, or structure: the next move depends on where you stand, not a catalog.

Why Catalia

What sets us apart

Catalia is not a generalist training shop. We have worked with SMB and mid-market leaders and their teams since 2022, around a single conviction: AI doesn't take hold by chance, you build it deliberately.

Bespoke, not off the shelf

Every session is built around your context, your line of work, and your audience. No standard program dropped on every organization.

Two strengths: AI and people

Catalia pairs hands-on technical command of AI with real skill at guiding people through change. A pragmatic approach that reassures teams without drowning them in tech.

A partner, not a trainer

We do not deliver content and walk away. We close every engagement with a review of what was learned and a clear recommendation for what comes next.

The people who will lead your sessions

FAQ

Your questions
about the AI awakening offer

For executives, leadership teams, and wider teams who don't yet have a clear frame for AI, or who have one but want to firm it up and broaden it. It works just as well for organizations that have never touched the topic as for those that have heard plenty about AI without really grasping what it means for them.

No, quite the opposite. The AI awakening offer is built precisely for people who haven't started yet, or who started without a clear frame. The point is to lay the right foundations before going further, not to catch up on lost ground.

A keynote opens the topic at scale and sparks a collective shift. A workshop makes room for more back-and-forth and can surface your first business questions. Training goes further: it organizes the knowledge and starts embedding practical use. Coaching is for the executive or leadership team who needs to understand what's at stake before bringing their teams in.

Every engagement starts with a scoping conversation to understand your organization, your line of work, and what's specifically at stake for you. The examples, the use cases, and the depth are then set to fit your reality, not copy-pasted from a standard program.

We close every engagement with a readout of what was learned and a clear recommendation on the next step. Depending on where you land after AI awakening, the next move can be an experimentation phase (Test & Learn), organizing AI use across the business, or a broader engagement. The idea is always to move at the right pace, without skipping steps.

It depends on the chosen format. A keynote or webinar typically runs 1h30 to 3 hours. A workshop takes half a day. A training can stretch over a full day. Executive coaching runs across 2 sessions. Everything is tuned to your calendar and your organizational constraints.
