A proprietary framework to bring AI to production — with method, deliverables and KPIs.

IMPACT is a modular, progressive framework, developed over 15 years of corporate practice. Six phases, defined deliverables, predefined metrics. Built BY managers and university professors FOR mid-large companies that want to stop accumulating POCs and start generating value.

It's not academic theory. It's consolidated practice: every phase has been tested directly in real projects, not classroom simulations. The framework ensures that 95% of started projects reach the scaling phase — against a market average of 20%.

IMPACT covers the full cycle: from opportunity mapping to governance, from the pilot to the Center of Excellence. It integrates with any existing stack, requires no replacements — it adds the missing transformation layer.

Six phases. One acronym.
One operating system.

Click each letter to see deliverables, duration and KPIs. Phases are sequential but can overlap: I·M·P covers the first 30 days of assessment; A·C·T the following 60 of implementation.

Four principles
non-negotiable.

It's not the magic of the acronym. It's what the acronym protects from recurring temptations: starting from technology, ignoring change, cutting governance, declaring victory at the POC.

N°01

Data before promises

Every phase starts from a quantitative baseline and ends with metrics. No "about", no "should". If you don't measure it, it doesn't exist.

N°02

Benefits, not features

The roadmap is organized by business outcome — revenue, cost, cycle time — not by a list of models to train or tools to buy.

N°03

Structured change

Every pilot includes workshops, community of practice and capability building. Technology without adoption stays a slide deck.

N°04

Integrated governance

AI Act, GDPR, risk assessment are not an appendix at the end. They are part of the design from the Architect phase. No retrofit.

Three ways to start.

Flexibility and gradual progression. Test the approach with a measurable pilot, then scale. Possibility of accessing funding and inter-professional funds covering up to 70% of the investment.

AI Act: compliance
by design.

The AI Act is in force. Deadlines are progressive between 2025 and 2026. Penalties reach up to 7% of global revenue.

73% of Italian companies are behind. IMPACT is built compliance-by-design: every phase produces the required documentation, integrated into the cycle — not as an ex-post appendix.

Frequently asked questions.

IMPACT is a transformation path with measurable results. It includes assessment, training, practical implementation and KPI monitoring. We don't sell training hours, we guarantee results. Training is a component, not the product.

IMPACT is designed to integrate with any LMS, ERP, CRM or platform already in use. It requires no replacements: it adds the missing transformation layer. In the first two weeks (Identify phase) we map the existing stack and identify integration points.

A pilot takes 12 weeks (90 days). The full rollout depends on company size: typically 6–12 months for full transformation. 95% of pilots reach the scaling phase within the sixth month.

Yes. IMPACT is eligible for several inter-professional funds (Fondimpresa, Fondirigenti, Forte, etc.) and regional grants. We provide operational support in preparing documentation — from project idea to reporting. On average we cover 40–70% of the investment.

We offer continuous advisory packages including: regulatory updates (AI Act, GDPR, sector), monthly office hours with senior experts, access to the community of practice, KPI monitoring with live dashboard, quarterly strategic review.

Every pilot starts with agreed KPIs: business metrics (revenue, cost, cycle time) and technical metrics (accuracy, latency, adoption). Quantitative baseline in the Measure phase, dashboard updated weekly, monthly review with sponsor. ROI calculated at 6, 12 and 18 months. Documented average payback: 6–8 months.

Strongly recommended. The pilot validates the approach with a contained investment (from €30,000), measures ROI before any extension, and gradually involves the organization. For companies with a defined AI strategy, jumping directly to rollout can be considered — we discuss it during assessment.
