Katalyx Method · AI Training
From “we watch AI from afar” to “we use it every day”, in 8 weeks. No theoretical course. No workshop just to tick a Qualiopi box.
Our AI training method rests on 4 steps: diagnose and calibrate use cases, design a role-by-role programme, run hands-on sessions with a final project deployed by every participant, then embed habits for 60 days after training. 80% practice. 20% theory. Qualiopi-certified. Fundable via OPCO, CPF, and FNE in France.
4 steps · 8 weeks · 80% hands-on
Classic AI trainings fail. Not because AI is too hard — because they train in a vacuum.
Three recurring failure modes clients describe when we start a programme:
- Too theoretical — participants hear about LLMs, transformers, fine-tuning. But they never practise on their real cases. Result: they leave informed, not equipped.
- Too generic — the same course for sales, HR, and legal. No role-specific tools. Nobody recognises themselves in the examples.
- No follow-through — you train, assess, move on. No embedding. Three months later, nobody is using it.
Our method exists to neutralise these three structural risks from the first brief.
We train precise work gestures — not generic concepts.
Our conviction: you don’t learn AI by studying AI. You learn AI by using it on real cases. That’s why our method is radically practical: 80% of time in workshops, on the tools, on real cases brought by participants. Necessary theory (LLMs, prompts, hallucinations, GDPR) is woven into exercises — not delivered as a lecture.
- Pillar 1 — Role by role: sales, marketing, HR, ops, legal, product. Each gets a dedicated track.
- Pillar 2 — On real cases: every participant brings their own cases; we work them in the workshop.
- Pillar 3 — Deployed final project: each participant ships an AI use case in their scope.
- Pillar 4 — 60-day embedding: we track usage after the programme ends.
One method. Four steps. Role by role.
| Step | Duration | Objective | Expected outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Diagnosis & calibration | 1 week | Identify target use cases by role, choose the format, validate the sponsor. | Detailed programme and schedule approved. |
| 2. Programme design | 2 weeks | Design the 6 role modules, adapt tools and examples, prepare materials. | Tailored programme ready to deliver. |
| 3. Delivery | 6 weeks | Kickoff + 6 modules + final project deployed by each participant + exec demo. | Team trained, projects live, ROI measured. |
| 4. Embedding | 60 days | 60 days of Slack, 2 one-to-one coaching sessions, usage measurement, ROI review, extension. | Habits embedded, extension plan. |
Before any session runs, you’ll know what to train, for whom, on which real cases.
- Workshop with the executive sponsor (CEO, business lead): align on goals, ambition, constraints.
- AI maturity audit of participants via questionnaire (10 questions, 5 minutes).
- Map priority use cases by role (30-min interviews with 3–5 participants).
- Choose the right format: 2h workshop, 1–2 day session, or 8-week programme.
- Choose tools to teach based on your internal stack (ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, Notion AI, etc.).
- OPCO / CPF / FNE validation (French funding schemes): we provide the required documents.
You approve every module before the first session. No generic PowerPoint.
- Design of the 6 role modules (1 module = 3 hours of delivery + materials).
- Adaptation of tools, examples, and exercises to the client’s sector.
- Written materials (workbook, tool sheets, cheat sheets) — never generic.
- Tool setup for participants: ChatGPT/Claude accounts, GPT/Projects access, Slack/Teams integrations.
- Coordination with OPCO if funded (programme + pricing + dates validation).
- Brief for Katalyx trainers (if several deliver the programme).
80% hands-on from hour one. No 45-minute slide deck intro.
- Kickoff (2h): align participants/sponsor, set up tools, first live exercise.
- Weeks 1–2: LLM fundamentals + personal toolkit (3h × 2). 80% practice on real cases.
- Weeks 3–4: Role workshops #1 and #2 (3h × 2). On cases brought by participants.
- Week 5: AI agents, automations, custom GPTs and Projects (3h).
- Week 6: Advanced tools selected for your role (3h).
- Weeks 7–8: Final project — each participant deploys an AI use case in their scope, with individual coaching.
- Final demo to the executive committee (2h): each participant presents their case + results + measured ROI.
When participants return to daily urgencies, you want the habits to stick. We make sure they do.
- 60 days of Katalyx Slack access: participants ask questions; we reply within 24 business hours.
- 2 one-to-one coaching sessions per participant (30 min each) over 60 days.
- Usage measurement: standardised surveys at D+30 and D+60 (usage rate, hours saved, perceived quality).
- ROI review at D+60: presentation to the sponsor with quantified data.
- Extension recommendations: next use cases, next roles to train, next tools.

What participants actually use 60 days after training.
| Metric | Average observed value |
|---|---|
| Share of participants who are daily AI users at D+60 | 100% (12/12 programmes) |
| Hours saved per month per participant | 12 to 25 hours |
| Average participant NPS | 9.2 / 10 |
| Share of final projects still in production at D+90 | 78% |
| Training ROI in year one | ×4 to ×8 the cost |
| Extension rate (company books a 2nd programme) | 67% |
5 conditions to validate together before kickoff.
- An executive sponsor (CEO, business lead, HR director) who confirms the programme is a priority.
- At least 3 participants per cohort (otherwise, individual coaching is a better fit).
- Time commitment from participants: 3h per week for 8 weeks (visible in their calendars).
- Real use cases brought by participants (trainings “in a vacuum” fail).
- OPCO validation closed before kickoff (otherwise start is postponed).
Before, during, and 60 days after the programme.
| Before training | During training | After the programme (60 days) |
|---|---|---|
| Validated custom programme, complete OPCO file, fixed schedule, tools set up for participants. | 6 modules delivered, final projects live, exec demo with ROI measurement, Qualiopi certificates. | Usage measurement at D+30 and D+60, quantified ROI review, extension plan, 60 days of Slack access. |

« Très belle collaboration avec l'équipe Katalyx sur le développement d'iZola. Projet exigeant techniquement (KYC biométrique, signature électronique, scoring), tenue des délais, qualité du code, et surtout un vrai dialogue produit du début à la fin. Un mot pour Victor, notre chef de projet : disponibilité, rigueur, écoute, et cette capacité rare à anticiper les sujets avant qu'ils deviennent des problèmes. Une vraie différence sur un projet de cette ampleur. Merci à toute l'équipe — on continue l'aventure ensemble. À recommander. »

« J’ai eu l’occasion d’échanger à plusieurs reprises avec Enguerrand dans un cadre entrepreneurial. Ce qui m’a marqué, c’est sa capacité à penser “stratégie” avant d’agir, à chercher des solutions concrètes plutôt que des promesses. Son approche est jeune, mais déjà structurée et tournée vers le développement de solutions qui font sens pour les entrepreneurs. Un bel état d’esprit, beaucoup de clarté et une vraie orientation résultat. »
Eight questions HR directors ask.
Qualiopi, OPCO, practitioners, formats — the topics we cover before kickoff.
Are you really Qualiopi-certified?
Yes. Qualiopi certification obtained in 2024, renewed annually. Activity declaration number available on request. Next Qualiopi audit in 2026.
Do I need a technical background to attend?
No. No technical prerequisites. Our method is designed for non-tech profiles: sales, HR, legal, executives, marketers, ops. We adapt level and vocabulary to each cohort’s role.
Can you deliver remotely?
Yes — every format is available by video. We prefer hybrid (on-site kickoff at your offices, remote modules, on-site final project) to maximise engagement.
How many participants per cohort?
12 max for the 2h workshop. 8–15 for 1–2 day trainings. 5–15 for the 8-week programme (to guarantee individual coaching on the final project).
Can you adapt the content to our specific sector (industry, healthcare, legal, public)?
Yes, by default. That’s exactly what step 1 (diagnosis) is for. We have use-case libraries for: industry, B2B services, e-commerce, consulting, legal, healthcare, finance, and public sector.
Detailed pricing and formats?
2h workshop: €1,800 excl. VAT (12 participants max). Full day: €3,600 excl. VAT. 8-week programme: €9,000–€14,000 excl. VAT depending on headcount. Net prices. OPCO can cover 70–100%.
Are your trainers practitioners or theorists?
100% practitioners. Enguerrand Boulnois (founder) leads 60% of sessions. 3 associate Katalyx trainers, all with 10+ years of AI / data / product experience. No pure professional trainers without hands-on field experience.
How is this different from OpenAI Academy or similar?
Vendor trainings teach their tool (ChatGPT, Copilot). Ours teaches how to design AI usage in the enterprise, regardless of vendor. Your teams learn to choose, integrate, operate, and measure. Many clients take both — they’re complementary.
Your team using AI every day, in 8 weeks.
30 minutes to scope your need (role, team size, format, budget). You leave with a tailored programme, a firm quote, and an OPCO funding simulation — whether you work with us afterwards or not.
🔒 Your data stays in the EU. No resale. Personal reply from Enguerrand within 24 business hours.
