Denis Atlan

Denis Atlan intervient comme conférencier et conseiller auprès de dirigeants qui veulent sortir du discours vague sur “l’IA” pour se concentrer sur ce qui produit réellement du résultat. Basé à Lyon, il travaille avec des TPE, PME et ETI qui cherchent à gagner en productivité, en qualité de service et en clarté stratégique grâce à l’IA générative et à l’automatisation.

Il a piloté plus de 200 projets IA sur le terrain, dans des contextes très différents : prospection commerciale, service client, back-office, reporting, finance, marketing, RH. Cette expérience alimente une base de données de retours d’usage et un travail de formalisation qu’il a structuré dans un livre consacré à l’IA en entreprise, ainsi que dans des contenus audio et des formations.

En conférence, Denis privilégie les cas concrets, les démonstrations live et les repères simples pour décider : quels usages prioriser, quels risques surveiller, comment organiser la coopération entre humains et IA. Son style est direct, pédagogique et orienté décision : il aide les équipes dirigeantes à clarifier où l’IA crée de la valeur, et où elle ne fera que consommer du temps et de l’énergie.

Denis Atlan is a French AI practitioner who works with leadership teams that are tired of vague “future of work” talks and want to see what AI can actually deliver in their business. From his base in Lyon, he advises and speaks for SMEs and mid-sized organisations on applied AI, automation and digital performance.

He has led and documented more than 200 AI projects across sales, operations, finance, customer support and internal processes. Rather than focusing on tools for their own sake, Denis structures his work around a simple question: where does AI create tangible value, and where is it just a distraction? His research and field notes have been turned into a book and learning resources dedicated to business leaders and operational teams.

On stage, Denis combines clear explanations, real-world examples and live demonstrations. He walks audiences through concrete use cases with generative AI and no-code automation, explains why some initiatives consistently fail, and offers decision frameworks to prioritise use cases, manage risks and keep humans in control. Organisers value his ability to align executives, managers and front-line teams around a shared, realistic understanding of what AI can – and cannot – do for them.
