Back to original languageAbout Thiziri
I transform AEC/Construction organizations in the AI era — from strategy to adoption.
After 15 years in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector — including 7 years in digital transformation and 2 years leading the AI program at EGIS Group — I founded OCTOMIND, a consulting firm exclusively specialized in AI transformation for the AEC sector.
What I do for my clients:
— AI Strategy: maturity assessment, identification of high-impact use cases, roadmap, governance. (Certified Digital Transformation Strategist from L'X Polytechnique®)
— Change Management: driving transformation dynamics, operational piloting, organizational impact analysis, adoption acceleration (Certified Prosci® practitioner)
— Tailored Training: AI acculturation for leadership teams, managers, and upskilling for operational staff — contextualized to your tools and your business.
What truly sets me apart:
I come from the construction industry. I master the entire continuum from CAD to BIM to digital twins to AI, allowing me to speak the same language as your field teams and design sustainable transformations.
