What great
looks like.
We help executive boards see, shape and shift their organisation into an AI-native operating posture.
Three verbs. One posture.
The AI shift is a business decision before it is a technology one. Our method gives the board a shared language for the shift, then a shaped organisation to execute it, then measurable motion.
See
The board sees clearly. Not the hype, not the fear. The actual read of where your organisation stands against an AI-native peer.
Shape
Target operating model, capability architecture, governance, workforce redesign. Shaped on purpose, not inherited from a copilot rollout.
Shift
The organisation moves. Board decisions made, roles redrawn, capability built, pressure applied where pressure is due.
CEOs. COOs.
Not their CIOs.
We work with chief executives who know AI is strategic and want their board aligned before they commit capital. We do not work primarily with CIOs or CTOs. That is a deliberate choice. The AI shift is a business decision before it is a technology one, and the people making technology decisions are rarely the people making business decisions.
Three surfaces.
One shift.
Executive AI University
Eight board-level sessions over six months. Designed to take a full executive team from awareness to aligned decision. Board-ready, offsite-capable.
Operating Model Read
A six-week diagnostic that shows the board where the organisation actually stands on AI, across vision, operating model, data, talent and governance.
Shift Advisory
Ongoing advisory for CEO and COO through the shift. Monthly decision support, board preparation, and executive sparring.
A transformation practitioner.
An operating model architect.
M42 is co-founded by two partners who rarely show up in the same firm. Maxime Vreven has led AI transformation at scale in global banks. Alexandre Guillebot has spent two decades shaping operating models and agility at organisational level. The rarity is the pairing.
