---

Phase 2 : Pilots (Mois 3-5)

✓ Sélectionner 3-5 pilots

Critères de sélection:

Impact High (50+ people affected)
Risk Medium (no mission-critical dependencies)
Timeline Short (result in 4-6 weeks)
Buy-in Strong (champion existe dans la team)

Exemples par fonction:

Fonction	Use case	Tempo
Customer Support	AI ticket routing (article 15)	4 weeks
Sales	Proposal draft + personalization	5 weeks
HR	Resume screening (article 15)	3 weeks
Finance	Invoice processing (article 15)	6 weeks
Content	Draft generation + editing	3 weeks

✓ Pour chaque pilot

Setup (Week 1):

• [ ] Nommer un pilot lead (ownership)
• [ ] Assembler équipe (2-3 people, 20% time)
• [ ] Définir success criteria
  • Quantitative (time saved, quality, cost)
  • Qualitative (team feedback, adoption)

Build (Week 2-3):

• [ ] Define tool + workflow (Claude API / ChatGPT / Copilot)
• [ ] Gather existing data/examples (100 historical cases)
• [ ] Craft prompts (article 9-12 techniques)
• [ ] Manual QA on sample (20-30 examples)
  • Accuracy: % correct outputs
  • Hallucinations: % where AI invented facts
  • Speed: time per task

Test (Week 3-4):

• [ ] A/B test with real users (10-20% traffic/volume)
  • Traditional workflow vs AI workflow
  • Measure: quality, speed, user satisfaction
• [ ] Document learnings (what worked, what didn't)
• [ ] Refine prompts based on failures

Evaluate (Week 4-5):

• [ ] Calculate ROI
  • Cost of AI (API, labor time) vs benefit (time saved, quality gain)
  • Example: "Invoice processing: 10 hrs/week saved at $50/hr = $26k/year benefit. AI cost = $5k/year. ROI = 5x."
• [ ] Collect team feedback
  • NPS: "Would you use this again?" (target > 7/10)
  • Bottlenecks: Where did it slow down?
• [ ] Decide: Scale? Iterate? Kill?

Monitoring checklist (article 16)

• [ ] Logging : Every AI action logged to database (timestamp, input, output, human review)
• [ ] Alerts : If error rate > 5%, notify team
• [ ] Feedback loop : Users rate AI output (👍/👎)
  • If 👎 : Reason logged → feed into prompt refinement

Success metrics (Phase 2)

• 3+ pilots launched ✓
• 2+ show positive ROI ✓
• Team confidence in AI ↑ (NPS 6+) ✓
• Process documented ✓

---

Phase 3 : Scale (Mois 6-9)

✓ Roll successful pilots to production

For each scaled pilot:

• [ ] Supervised automation (article 15) until confidence > 80%
  • AI generates, human approves before execution
• [ ] Build approval workflow (Jira/Slack integration)
  • Queue of AI outputs waiting human sign-off
  • SLA: approve within 2 hours
• [ ] Create incident response playbook
  • If AI fails, how do we rollback?
  • Who do we escalate to?

✓ Expand to new use cases

• [ ] Select 5-10 secondary pilots (lower risk, new functions)
• [ ] Reuse playbook from Phase 2 (faster tempo : 2-3 weeks each)
• [ ] Build internal prompt library (Notion/GitHub)
  • "Customer support triage prompt v2.3" (production-tested)
  • "Invoice OCR + validation" (known accuracy: 94%)
  • Anyone in org can fork and adapt

✓ Upskilling (article 17)

Tier 2 training (for roles using AI daily):

• [ ] 1-2 week advanced prompting course
  • Chain-of-thought, RAG, few-shot examples
  • Building workflows (Claude → tool → Claude loop)
• [ ] Tool integration practical (integrate Claude into Slack/Figma/etc)

Tier 3 training (new AI roles):

• [ ] Agents & automation deep dive (3-4 week course)
• [ ] Build small agent locally (Python + Claude API)
• [ ] Deploy to test environment

✓ Org structure

Red Flags : Transformation Is Struggling

❌ Sign 1 : Adoption stalled (< 20% using after 6 months)

Likely causes:

• Tools are hard to use
• Team didn't get trained
• No clear benefit communicated
• Fear of replacement high

Fix:

• Simplify workflow (fewer steps, better UX)
• Run Tier 1 training again (hands-on demo, not lecture)
• Show specific ROI (time saved, quality up)
• Share redeployment story ("Jane now does X instead of Y")

❌ Sign 2 : Error rate not improving (stuck > 5%)

Likely causes:

• Prompts aren't being refined
• Data quality issue (garbage in → garbage out)
• Tool isn't right for task
• No feedback loop (failures not logged)

Fix:

• Monthly prompt refinement (A/B test improvements)
• Audit input data (completeness, accuracy)
• Revisit tool choice (Claude vs GPT vs Llama?)
• Add user feedback loop (👍/👎 after each output)

❌ Sign 3 : Cost spiraling (spending > projected)

Likely causes:

• Token usage higher than estimated
• Too many parallel pilots
• Inefficient prompts (long, redundant)

Fix:

• Optimize prompts (shorter, more specific)
• Consolidate pilots (kill weak ones)
• Use caching (if using Claude, cache system prompts)
• Consider cheaper model for certain tasks (Haiku vs Opus?)

❌ Sign 4 : Security incident

Likely causes:

• Sensitive data leaked in prompt
• No approval workflow (wrong decision escalated)
• Governance not enforced

Fix:

• Incident post-mortem (what happened, why?)
• Retrain team (no PII in prompts)
• Strengthen approval (human review mandatory for high-risk)
• Audit all past outputs (any data leaked?)
