AI in 2025: current initiatives and challenges in large enterprises

The primary challenge for Chief AI and Data Officers? Scaling AI and data-driven value across the enterprise.
Despite significant investments, many organizations still struggle to turn Artificial Intelligence (AI) into a true business differentiator. AI can only reach its full potential when driven by high-quality, well-governed data and seamlessly integrated into real-world business processes.

The AI revolution is transforming industries:

Hyper-personalized customer experiences, driven by generative AI and predictive analytics
Reach Operational Excellence in core business processes with the help of AI
Enhanced decision-making and automation, powered by AI-driven insights
Workforce transformation, with AI copilots augmenting employees’ productivity

Wavestone & datacraft, the winning combo

By joining datacraft, Wavestone will benefit from the top-level expertise, network, and strike force of the Club’s members. Ghislain de Pierrefeu, Partner data & AI at Wavestone, explains: “Now, more than ever, we need to think collectively, to share solutions and their impacts, to think of the medium-term, the sovereignty, and the frugality, and thus draw all the value from the emulation which currently dominates the market”. Isabelle Hilali, CEO and founder of datacraft, adds: “Wavestone’s presence within the Club seemed obvious to us given how compatible our DNAs are as focused, responsible, and positive players in Data & AI transformation.”
