Content

Everything you will understand
about AI by the end of these sessions

Depending on the chosen format, the Awakening offer can cover all or part of these topics, tailored to your context and audience:

  • The fundamentals of AI and generative AI
  • What is concretely possible to do with AI today
  • The types of tools that exist and how to find your way
  • The most common use cases inside companies
  • Rights and duties: ethics, GDPR, data security
  • Best practices to start and the risks to anticipate
Our conviction

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

Before testing, choosing software, or launching a project, it is essential to build a first shared foundation of understanding. That is what the Awakening offer makes possible: lay the right basics, at the right level, for the right people.

Understand fast. Decide right. Move forward with confidence.

How it runs

How an Awakening
engagement runs

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

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

We start with your context: the audience involved (teams, leadership, executive), perceived maturity level, the stakes specific to your sector. This exchange shapes 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 content and pedagogy to your organization. Examples are drawn from your functional reality, without useless jargon or sweeping 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 organization. We have supported executives and teams in SMEs and mid-market companies since 2022, with a single conviction: AI is not adopted by chance, it is built with method.

Bespoke, not off the shelf

Every session is built around your context, your functions, and your audience. No standard program applied to all organizations.

Dual expertise: AI + human

Catalia combines technical AI mastery and change-management pedagogy. 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.

FAQ

Your questions
about the Awakening offer

For executives, leadership teams, and broader teams who do not yet have a clear AI framework, or who have one but want to formalize and expand it. It fits organizations that have never approached the topic just as well as those who have heard about AI without truly understanding what it implies for them.

No, quite the opposite. The Awakening offer is built precisely for those who have not started yet, or who have started without a clear framework. The goal is to lay the right basics before going further, not to catch up on lost ground.

A keynote opens the topic at scale and creates a collective tipping point. A workshop allows more exchange and can surface the first functional questions. A training goes further: it structures the knowledge and starts anchoring concrete usage. Coaching is for executives or leadership teams who need to grasp the stakes before engaging their teams.

Every engagement starts with a scoping exchange to understand your organization, your functions, and your specific stakes. Examples, use cases, and depth are then tuned to 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 your level after Awakening, the next move can be an experimentation phase (Test & Learn), structuring functional usage, or broader support. 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.
