    These examples demonstrate how AI-led innovation powered by Akkodis Intelligence drives real-world impact:

    1. AI reduces life sciences production scheduling time from five days to seconds

    Akkodis partnered with a global healthcare manufacturer to integrate AI into supply and demand planning, aligning complex forecasts with production of critical equipment. Using advanced combinatorial optimization and a human-in-the-loop approach, the solution delivers rapid, bias-free scheduling recommendations, reducing scheduling time from five days to seconds and enabling enterprise-wide scalability. The next phase will introduce LLM-based agents, allowing managers to express priorities in natural language and further enhance agility, efficiency and decision-making across the organization.

    2. U pskilling engineers & data scientists in AI: Supporting responsible AI in banking

    In partnership with Microsoft Worldwide Learning, Akkodis Academy created a bespoke AI enablement program for the Commonwealth Bank of Australia featuring customized technical bootcamps, webinars and targeted hands-on training. The program helped teams to rapidly adopt AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, with approximately 30% of AI-generated code accepted, cutting development time and boosting accuracy.

    3. Scaling AI and automation through IT: 2,000 employees AI-proficient, 15,000 hours saved

    Akkodis Japan launched a program using generative AI and low-code tools to foster a hands-on, field-led approach to digital transformation. The initiative advanced operational excellence through automation and change management—saving over 15,000 hours annually by automating claims submissions and sales operations processes. Within just 10 months, more than 2,000 employees of Akkodis Japan (81% of those focused on internal operations) became proficient in AI tools. This large-scale success now serves as a blueprint for clients pursuing responsible, scalable AI transformation worldwide.

    These outcomes underscore Akkodis’ continued dedication to combining advanced technology, domain expertise and human insight to enable transformation across industries. Grounded in Akkodis Intelligence – its commitment to bringing technology and human potential together to drive meaningful, measurable impact – Akkodis will continue to introduce new products and solutions that advance responsible, AI-driven innovation in the months ahead.
