About The Beagle

The Beagle is a publication about AI at scale for European enterprises. It follows one question: how can an organisation deploy AI in a way that creates real business value, stays explainable and compliant, and keeps strategic control over the business itself?

The point of view

AI at scale is not mainly a model problem. It is an enterprise design problem.

Most organisations already have the data, the talent and the ambition to do far more with AI. What they usually lack is an explicit, governable model of how the business actually works — across systems, countries, rules and decisions. That is where business ontology comes in: making the enterprise's implicit operating logic explicit enough for AI to compound value instead of multiplying contradictions.

What The Beagle explores

How leaders can use business ontology to:

• connect AI ambition to operating reality;
• reduce dependence on opaque external platforms;
• improve governance and explainability;
• meet European regulatory requirements as an advantage, not a brake;
• and build a more sovereign, defensible form of competitive advantage.

Who it is for

The Beagle is written for CIOs, CEOs, Chief Digital Officers, transformation leaders and senior decision-makers who want more than generic AI commentary — those who want to understand what AI at scale really demands, and what kind of enterprise they will need to build for it to work.

Who is behind it

The Beagle is written by Yannick Meriguet, a Digital Transformation Partner and Fractional Executive working at the intersection of AI transformation, enterprise operating models, governance and sovereign digital strategy. The ambition is simple: to become one of the clearest European voices on what it really takes to build AI at scale — not as a collection of tools, but as a new operating model for the enterprise.
