About IMPAICT

Why IMPAICT exists

Generative artificial intelligence has crossed a threshold. In less than three years, it has gone from a technological curiosity to a transformative force affecting every industry, every role, every business model.

Most business leaders understand this. But between awareness and action, there's a gap. Information is contradictory, the pace of change is disorienting, and proposed solutions are often designed for large corporations.

IMPAICT bridges that gap. We help leaders understand what's really changing in their industry, assess the concrete impact on their business, and build a realistic action plan.

Our 3-step approach

1. Understand

What is AI really changing for your sector, your market, your business? We set the stage together, with a dedicated sector diagnostic among the 19 sectors already analyzed.

2. Assess

Assessment of your company's AI maturity. Possible impacts on business and market. Risk and opportunity mapping.

3. Act

Concrete roadmap, adapted to your size and resources. AI integration into processes. Team upskilling.

19 sector diagnostics — proof through action

We don't just say AI affects every industry. We've demonstrated it. 19 sector analyses published with free access, from audiovisual production to logistics, from construction to finance. Each diagnostic assesses the exposure level, identifies threats and opportunities, and provides concrete benchmarks for action.

This is how we prove what we claim — and deliver value before we even work together.

What makes the difference

• Practitioners, not commentators — We use AI daily since its inception. We develop with it, create with it, solve problems with it. This constant practice gives an irreplaceable advantage: we know what really works.
• 25 years of field experience — Hundreds of companies supported. We know SME constraints: limited budgets, small teams, leaders wearing multiple hats.
• Long-term vision + short-term clarity — We don't chase the latest announcements. We have a reading of what AI will fundamentally transform in the medium and long term, while keeping our feet on the ground.
• Beyond technology — AI is not an IT topic. It's a C-suite topic. We approach it from the angle of market, organization, and business model.

Who is behind IMPAICT

Xavier Hovasse is the founder of IMPAICT and Saxho. With over 25 years of experience in business consulting, he has been an AI practitioner since 2022 — not as an observer, but as a daily user who develops, creates and solves problems with these tools.

This dual expertise — deep understanding of business realities and practical AI mastery — is what gives IMPAICT its credibility and relevance.

Who IMPAICT is for

• SME leaders (50 to 500 employees) who sense AI will impact their business but don't know where to start
• Executive committees looking to structure collective thinking on the topic
• Innovation or transformation managers seeking a clear-eyed, pragmatic outside perspective

What IMPAICT is not

• A technical integrator — we don't deploy tools
• An AI solutions vendor — we represent no software company
• A prompt engineering trainer — the magic prompt doesn't exist
• A futurologist — we rely on what exists and what's coming, not science fiction
