In 2025, we looked to the horizon. Before us loomed the Everest of artificial intelligence. Many organizations chose to observe it from afar, with binoculars. At Globalia, we decided to dig our crampons into the ice.
Our goal? To become an AI-Firstorganization by 2027. This is no walk in the park; it's a climb that requires us to redefine our oxygen, our equipment and our solidarity.
What is an AI-First organization?
An AI-First organization is one that integrates artificial intelligence at the heart of its decision-making, operational and strategic processes, in order to enhance human performance rather than replace it.
You can't climb Everest in espadrilles. To survive the technological "death zone", we equipped every member of the expedition, without exception, with the world's best equipment: Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Antigravity.
At high altitude, tools should not be a burden, but an extension of the body. By democratizing access, we've transformed solitary climbers into a super-powered technological roped party.
There are invisible traps in any climb. We've encountered them. AI "hallucinations" that sounded like truths, automations that broke our artisanal processes, or the temptation to let the machine pilot without human supervision.
A crevasse is that moment when we put too much trust in technology without checking its anchoring. We've learned to probe the ice. Every mistake made at Globalia has become a beacon for others. We don't hide our falls; we map them so that no one else falls in the same place.
On an icy wall, if a climber finds a solid hold or a hidden crevasse, he has to shout the news to the whole column. That's the role of our #Spec-AISlack channel . It's our on-board radio.
We share slips and new routes. In this climb, the knowledge of one instantly becomes the safety of all.
No serious expedition leaves base camp without a rigorous liaison officer. Our CISO is the guardian of our lifelines.
Balance: As we push towards the peaks, he ensures that our safety anchors are certified. He validates the ethics of our models and the protection of our data. Thanks to him, we can climb fast, because we know our rope will never let go, even in a data storm.
To lead the way in powder snow, you need guides who know the mountain. Our Head of AI Solutions charts the strategic course, while our Circle of Champions acts within each department. They don't explain how to climb; they show the way by climbing themselves.
You don't discover how to use your ice axe in the middle of a storm. That's why we created AcadémIA, our compulsory training center.
The rhythm: 1 hour of theoretical briefing and 3 hours of intense practice every month. This is our avalanche simulator. We learn how to fail safely, test our limits and refine our reflexes for 2027.
We're still on the steep slopes. There's wind, there's doubt, and sometimes we have to go back down a level to start up again. But the transformation of our operations is irreversible.
At Globalia, we see AI-First transformation not as a technological trend, but as a strategic imperative for companies wishing to remain competitive between now and 2030.
By 2027, when we reach the crest, Globalia will no longer be the same company. We will have revolutionized the way we develop and advise, not by replacing humans, but by offering them the unobstructed view afforded by the AI summit.
The climb to AI is not a sprint, it's an expedition. Identify your crevasses quickly, secure your ropes, and above all, don't leave anyone at base camp. The summit belongs to those who dare to climb.
An AI-First organization doesn't just use AI piecemeal. It rethinks its processes, culture and decisions by integrating AI as a central performance lever.
It's not about replacing humans. It's about increasing their ability to analyze, create and execute at every level of the company.
Because profound transformation doesn't happen in a few months.
Giving yourself a horizon allows you to :
AI is not a project. It's a structural change.
No. On the contrary. A true AI-First approach includes :
The mistake would be to let AI decide on its own. Maturity is about knowing when AI acts... and when the human decides.
We don't avoid them altogether. We manage them.
At Globalia, this means :
The key is not infallibility. It's transparency and collective learning.
Because AI is not a department.
The biggest gains are to be found in :
If only one team uses AI, the organization will plateau. If everyone becomes more skilled, the impact becomes exponential.
A central role.
Integrating AI raises major issues:
Speed without security is a risk. Built-in security enables speed without compromising trust.
It represents an investment. But the cost of not transforming is much higher.
Expected benefits :
The goal is not to adopt AI. It's to improve organizational performance.
Theory alone is not enough.
Effective training includes :
You learn AI by using it, not by watching it.
Before investing in tools, you need to :
AI is not the starting point. Strategic clarity is.
Yes.
The risk is no longer trying AI. The risk is letting the gap widen between organizations that learn fast... and those that observe.
The climb is demanding. But staying at base camp is no longer a strategic option.
AI hallucination: a response generated by an artificial intelligence model that seems plausible but is factually incorrect.
CISO: Chief Information Security Officer, responsible for data security and technology governance.
AI-First: strategic approach in which AI becomes a structuring lever for the organization.
