Dynergie nous a accompagnés dans l'organisation du premier Hackathon IA de Bouygues Bâtiment France. Dès le début, les équipes de Dynergie ont compris nos enjeux : acculturer des populations non sachantes en IA, créer une aventure humaine et tester la valeur d'outils IA pour les métiers de l'entreprise. Le défi était de taille : des participants venant de toute la France, des partenaires externes à coordonner, des outils innovants et nouveaux à maîtriser, des critères IA mais aussi business à intégrer. Dynergie a su s'adapter à ces défis. Son accompagnement nous a permis d'avancer dans un temps record et sereinement. À chaque étape du processus, leur contribution a pu nous garantir un résultat qui fait l'unanimité sur sa qualité !
