Our story
Tak Conseil was born from an ambitious vision: to support Ivorian and West African companies in their digital transformation by providing integrated expertise that combines specialized recruitment and strategic consulting in the fields of data and artificial intelligence.
Founded in Abidjan, our firm was built on a simple observation: digital transformation in Africa faces unique challenges, particularly the shortage of specialized skills in data and AI, and requires an approach tailored to local realities.
In synergy with Tak Talent, we have developed a hybrid offering that allows companies to benefit from a unique partner capable of supporting them throughout their transformation journey, from defining the strategy to its execution, including the acquisition of the necessary talents.
Our mission
We accelerate the digital transformation of Ivorian and West African companies by providing them with specialized talent and the strategic expertise needed to fully leverage the potential of data and AI in a context adapted to local realities.
Our vision
To become the leading reference in West Africa for supporting businesses in their digital transformation through data and AI, thereby contributing to the emergence of a competitive and innovative African digital economy.
Our values

An integrated and tailored approach
Our methodology "African Digital Transformation Framework" stands out for its holistic approach, specifically designed for the African context. We structure our support around five key dimensions:
1. In-depth and contextualized diagnosis
We begin each collaboration with a structured assessment of the company's digital maturity level across 5 dimensions (technology, processes, organization, skills, culture) using African industry benchmarks. This phase allows us to identify the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities specific to your context.
2. Data strategy and tailored transformation
Based on the diagnosis, we develop a detailed, prioritized, and budgeted roadmap over 18-36 months, perfectly tailored to local constraints and opportunities. This strategy includes a comprehensive framework for data collection, storage, processing, analysis, and value creation, with particular attention to African regulatory compliance.
3. Talent Acquisition and Development
Alongside the strategy, we identify the skills needs and implement a tailored talent acquisition strategy:
• Recruitment of specialized profiles with in-depth technical and behavioral assessment
• Provision of senior experts for critical missions
• Mapping of internal skills and development plans
• Building data/AI centers of excellence with optimized governance and working methods
4. Progressive and Agile Implementation
Our implementation approach is characterized by its progressiveness and agility:
• Rapid proof of concepts for validation and demonstration of value
• Architecture of solutions adapted to local constraints (connectivity, resilience, costs)
• Iterative deployment with regular milestones
• Continuous optimization based on user feedback and performance metrics
5. Change management and skills transfer
The success of a digital transformation depends on the adoption of new technologies and ways of working:
• Personalized data skills development programs (3-6 months)
• Strategic seminars for executives on the business implications of AI
• Personalized coaching of managers in their role as agents of change
• Animation of internal expert communities for knowledge sharing
Monitoring and impact measurement
Each phase of our methodology is accompanied by clear performance indicators to measure progress and return on investment:
• Transformation dashboard with technological and business KPIs
• Regular assessment of the teams' skills development
• Measuring the business impact of data and AI initiatives
• Monitoring of value creation in the short, medium and long term
