How do you tackle the subject of AI and the transformations it will involve in an organisation (the Direction générale du numérique et des systèmes d’information) whose raison d’être is to provide IT solutions to the rest of the public sector?
Projects
Systemic impacts of AI for the DGNSI, Canton de Vaud
Services
With the internal innovation lab, experimentation and implementation of a systemic and evolutionary approach combining, in particular:
- strategic workshops to align on the vision (e.g. framing the use of AI on a cantonal scale)
- multidisciplinary collaborative spaces to grasp the issues holistically (e.g. creating and leading an AI competency network, analysis radar for projects involving AI)
- individual and collective skills development to ensure the ability to understand and use the technology (e.g. flash training courses on Generative AI use)
- innovation to experiment with possible new solutions and to learn (eg. (e.g.: rapid prototyping of AI solutions)
Results
A collective ability to navigate the complexity of the subject of AI in a systemic way, an organisation that is becoming aware of the importance of the subject and is beginning to structure itself to address the most pressing issues: more than 100 people trained in the concrete basics of AI, a multidisciplinary network of around fifteen experts who are breaking new ground in the field, around ten incubation projects, several collaborative workshops, etc.
Project duration
A transformation that began a year ago and continues to work, adapting to changing challenges.
