An organisation does not adopt AI when it owns the tools.

It adopts AI when it knows what ambition AI must serve, what trajectory to chart, and how to master its execution.

01The founding principle

What is seen creates momentum.

What is not seen makes the climb possible.

WAKEA takes its name and its inspiration from Maunakea, the Mountain of WAKEA: the tallest mountain in the world, measured from its base. Only a third emerges. The rest is vast, silent, and absolutely indispensable.

WAKEA takes an integrated approach, to support you across every dimension.

02The starting point

Four key elements that structure an AI transformation programme.

Governance in place

A quantified ambition, a sponsor who arbitrates, decisions taken at the pace of the programme.

Proof, given value

A result measured on a real perimeter before any broad commitment. Proof creates momentum.

Adoption, steered

Redefined roles, transferred skills, managers who know how to lead augmented teams.

Industrialisation, begun

Accessible, governed data compliant with the AI Act, a clear architecture, security designed in from the start.

03Our positioning

We step in where the doubt begins, and we stay until the solution can live inside the organisation.

We connect strategic vision, programme steering, change and training, business and technology expertise.

01

The altitude of a firm

The personal commitment of our partners and directors, with the breadth of view that implies.

02

The speed of a studio

Six-to-eight-week cycles, a tight team, accelerators already proven elsewhere.

03

Measurement as a discipline

Indicators written on day one, tracked in a shared cockpit, reported exactly as they come.

04Our field of action

Four grounds, one same demand for proof.

We work to build and secure the trajectory that will make your organisation perform better with AI, in every one of its dimensions.

I

Enterprise-wide

The company trajectory: the ambition, the sequencing, the investment, and who decides what on what basis.

II

Organisational

Roles redefined by the pursuit of value rather than by the org chart, skill pathways, and the story of the change.

III

Business functions

Nine functions and their processes, taken end to end. All the way to production, never as far as the prototype.

IV

Business model

The offering, the revenues, the new activities. Reinventing rather than catching up, when AI recomposes the market itself.

05Our approach

Five blocks.

Each block stands on its own and prepares the next. You decide where to start, and how far to go.

01

Illuminate

Read the maturity, the value, the trajectory.

02

Prove

Measure the result on a real perimeter.

03

Transform

Scale where scaling makes sense.

04

Operate

Steer the value delivered over time.

05

Reinvent

Rethink the offerings and the methods.

Change management

We mobilise your talent as ambassadors and support your managers and teams in thinking through the shift to be made.

The LabTech

Our execution laboratory. Every engagement benefits from the experience of all the others.

06Our teams

A senior engineer inside your teams, talking to the business in the morning and deploying in the afternoon.

That is the Forward Deployed Engineer. Around them, the profiles we deploy according to what the engagement requires.

Behind them, the LabTech: accelerators, proven agents, reference frameworks, cockpits. It is what lets us recommend things we have already built.

07Our central commitment

90 days

The indicator is written before day one of the engagement. It is measured with you, on a real perimeter and with real users. It is reported back exactly as it comes, favourable or not.

08The WAKEA Collective

Some developments are too heavy for one company alone.

The WAKEA Collective brings together three to five companies around a shared co-development. The building blocks are shared; the data is not.

This is also where the Executive AI Immersion lives: one dense day, and a short-list of use cases committed to in the room.

09Where to start

A conversation between leaders.

Your context, what you have already tried, your deadlines. Within five days, we come back with a clear proposal and a defined success indicator.
