For business and management schools
What I see on the ground
Most schools I meet aren't short on goodwill about AI. What they're short on is a shared framework to decide, prioritise and act.
Every team keeps its own files. Data isn't shared. No one has a reliable, real-time view.
Some staff use ChatGPT, others don't. No one has a guide, a policy, or a shared standard on data and confidentiality.
The board is asking about AI. Accreditation requirements are shifting. Competitors are talking loudly about it. No one internally knows where to start.
This isn't a budget problem, and it isn't a skills problem.
It's a problem of method and direction.
How we can work together
Depending on where you are and what you actually need, we start at the right level of engagement, not the biggest one.
Your students are already using AI, often faster than your courses allow for. I train teaching staff and students on real cases from their target profession, by field of study. Practical, hands-on, no jargon.
We map your existing processes, identify the real AI opportunities in each department, build a short, medium and long-term roadmap together, and support the launch of the first pilots, with your teams, not instead of them.
The AI course you don't have, delivered every month to your students, by field of study and by language. General or tailored by field (marketing, hospitality, finance, law), monthly or fortnightly, so AI stops being a subject only a few people understand.
Beyond your teaching staff
Admissions, the registrar's office, communications, administration: these teams stand to gain just as much from AI as teaching staff. Training happens on their real tools (email, spreadsheets, files), and it's eligible for OPCO funding (France's sector-based training funding bodies) for your employees if your school operates in France.
Replies to applicants, file tracking, follow-ups: repetitive tasks move to AI, the team keeps the relationship.
Content, newsletters, social media: publish more consistently without sacrificing quality or the school's tone.
Reports, correspondence, spreadsheets: hours recovered every week on work you already do.
The method
A 45-minute conversation to understand your context, your challenges, and your current level of AI maturity. I'm not selling anything at this stage, I'm asking questions.
Interviews with key teams, a review of existing tools and processes, and a clear picture of where the real friction and the real opportunities are.
A workshop with your leadership team: what I found, what it means, and the three to five priorities that are actually worth tackling first.
Short, medium and long term. Realistic workstreams, clear indicators, and constant attention to data, security and ethics.
Support for the first pilots, team training, and documentation of new practices. The goal: your school can run this without me within 12 months.
The deliverables
Every engagement produces documented, reusable deliverables for your teams, not generic slide decks.
Who's using AI, in which department, with which tools, and which risks.
Short, medium and long term, with prioritised workstreams, owners and success indicators.
A practical framework for data, security, confidentiality and ethics, adapted to your school.
Onboarding modules for the teams involved in the pilot projects.

“I have worked with Alexandre Saint-Jean for several years. I value his professional expertise, both in technology and in the hospitality field, which he passes on with enthusiasm and a real sense of teaching. Alexandre is always available and in good spirits. His skills, together with his personal qualities, make him a valuable member of the professionals who teach at Vatel Bordeaux.”
Translated from French.
“A strong ability to make complex subjects accessible, with concrete examples that speak to students. Participants were highly engaged, and the feedback I received shows a fast rise in skills. The format and the teaching approach fit the needs of the group's schools well.”
Translated from French.
No. My approach is built for non-technical teams. I always start from business processes, not tools. Teams understand what they're doing and why, before we touch a single tool.
Using ChatGPT is a good start. Having a strategy for how, for whom, under which rules and with which measurable results, is a different question. The tool isn't the point. What you do with it across the whole school is.
That's exactly why the AI readiness assessment (AI assessment) exists: a concrete entry point, scoped to four weeks, with a clear deliverable, and no obligation to commit to anything further.
If your school operates in France, yes: staff training (admissions, teaching support, communications) is eligible for funding through your OPCO (France's sector-based training funding bodies). I invoice through a Qualiopi-certified partner organisation, so you get the funding without going through certification yourselves. Outside France, we agree a straightforward project fee instead.
I can't promise a transformation in three months. What I can promise: a clear view of where you stand, where you can go, and a realistic path to get there. The rest depends on your own team's commitment. I support the process, I don't drive it in your place.
A 45-minute conversation
We'll talk about your school, your teams, what you've already tried. And together we'll see if, and how, I can help.
