THIS ARTICLE IS PART OF OUR FEATURE ON GENERATIVE IA
Progressive adoption architecture
Successfully integrating generative AI into content operations requires a structured approach that respects natural resistance while rapidly demonstrating added value.
Phase 1: Controlled experimentation (0-3 months)
Objective: Proof of concept and training of early adopters
Key actions:
- Selection of a pilot team of 3-5 motivated people
- Intensive training on fundamentals and best practices
- Definition of 2-3 high-impact/low-risk use cases
- Establishment of specific success metrics
Case study - Technology company:
- Pilot use case: Generation of nurturing email variations
- Metrics: Creation time, open rate, conversion rate
- Expected results: 60% reduction in creation time, performance maintained.
Phase 2: Methodical expansion (3-9 months)
Objective: Roll-out to entire marketing team
Adoption strategies:
- Cascade training Early adopters become internal trainers, ensuring contextualized transmission of best practices.
- Existing workflow integration AI integrates into existing tools and processes via browser extensions, APIs or integrated platforms.
- Standardization of practices Development of an internal prompt library with optimized formulations for your recurring use cases.
Example - Professional services :
StandardizedPrompt Library:
- Generation of customer proposals by sector
- Creation of project executive summaries
- Development of case studies structure
- Adaptation of technical content → business
Phase 3: Optimization and innovation (9+ months)
Objective: Operational excellence and exploration of new use cases
Areas for optimization :
