Managing in the Age of AI
The real challenge is not just saving time with AI. It's learning what can be delegated, what should remain under human judgment, and how to support a team whose uses of AI are becoming increasingly autonomous.
An overload of preparation
Meetings, summaries, action plans and communications take time even before the work of supporting the teams begins.
Messages to adapt
A decision must be explained with the right level of detail depending on the audience, the context, and any potential resistance.
Heterogeneous uses within teams
Managers must be able to set common rules, check outputs and support skills development.
Decisions that remain humane
AI can bring up options or questions, but it should not evaluate a person on its own or arbitrate a sensitive situation.
What your managers will be able to do upon exit
Six objectives, assessed during the session on the files that your teams bring.
- Draft a demanding managerial message (change announcement, reasoned refusal, reprimand) using an AI tool, then check the facts and tone before sending.
- Structuring the preparation for an individual interview or a performance review: facts, objectives, questions to ask, points to be aware of
- Create a usable meeting summary from raw notes: decisions, actions, responsible parties, and deadlines.
- Adapting the same decision to three recipients (your team, your peers, your management) without changing its substance
- Recognizing situations that an AI tool should not handle: employee evaluations, disciplinary cases, compensation, health and personal circumstances
- Apply your internal usage rules, the GDPR, and Section 4 of the AI Act to your own records

How generative AI is transforming management
AI can streamline preparation, structure decisions, and improve team monitoring. It does not replace the managerial relationship or the manager's responsibility, but becomes a working partner when used with clear rules.
Better prepare the decisions
AI helps to synthesize a context, explore options and challenge reasoning before a decision is made, which remains human.
Turning meetings into action
Agendas, notes, decisions and action plans can be structured more quickly to strengthen collective follow-up.
Supporting the team on a daily basis
Interview preparation, feedback, communications and development plans can be enhanced without delegating listening or judgment.
Establish rules for the use of AI
The manager must clarify what can be delegated, the expected controls, the data to be protected, and the situations that require human intervention.
The program, hour by hour
A balance designed to understand, practice and then secure uses in the work environment.

Your data does not leave your environment
Evaluations, annual reviews, individual situations: the personal data you handle does not leave your environment.
The exercises are based on your real-world situations, never on your actual data. We develop the practical cases with your business expert using anonymized or reconstructed examples, and we work within the environment approved by your IT department: Copilot Chat, Copilot M365, ChatGPT (Enterprise or Azure OpenAI), Gemini, Claude, Mistral, or a locally installed open-source solution for the most sensitive data. No documents, files, or personally identifiable information are transmitted to a public model during the session. The final part of the training is dedicated to GDPR, the AI Act, and the development of your internal usage rules, ensuring that each participant leaves with a clear understanding of what they can and cannot submit to an AI tool.
