White paper no. 2 · June 2026

From PoC to Industrialisation: Leading AI Change Management in European SMEs

The question for 2026 is no longer “should we do AI?” but “how do we move from PoC to industrialisation?”. 88% of AI PoCs never reach production — a wall that is 70% human, not technological.

This white paper sets out the method: the seven frictions of the “last mile”, the five levers of change management, AgentOps, and a 12-month roadmap.

Frequently asked questions

Why do 88% of AI PoCs never reach production?
Because the obstacle is organisational, not technical: the BCG 10-20-70 rule attributes 70% of success to people and processes. The “last mile” (HBR, 2026) is a problem of organisational design.
What is AgentOps?
The operational discipline that extends DevOps/MLOps to observe and govern AI agents in production: a control plane, guardrails, human validation and an auditable log. Junyr Agents™ applies the Plan → Execute → Verify/Test pattern.
How much does industrialising AI cost in an SME?
€30,000 to €80,000 over 12 months for an SME or mid-cap of 50 to 500 staff, with 25-50% funding available (Bpifrance, European Digital Innovation Hubs).
How does it differ from the first white paper?
“Maturity of AI in French SMEs” answers “where do I stand?”; “From PoC to Industrialisation” answers “how do I industrialise?”, in the European context and with AgentOps.
