AI Readiness Assessment for Leadership Teams
An AI readiness assessment is a structured review of whether your strategy, workflows, data, systems, people and governance can support AI that delivers measurable value. It ends with a prioritised list of opportunities and a clear first move.
It is the first stage of our AI transformation work and feeds directly into your AI operating model.
The Six Dimensions We Assess
Strategy and value
Is there an agreed view of what AI should change in the business, and how value will be measured?
Processes and workflows
Are the workflows you want to improve documented, stable and worth automating, or do they need redesigning first?
Data and systems
Is the data AI needs accessible, accurate and connected, and can your systems integrate with new tools?
People and adoption
Do teams have the skills, time and incentives to use AI, and is there clear ownership of outcomes?
Governance and risk
Are there approved tools, data access rules, audit trails and review points, or is shadow AI filling the gap?
Measurement
Can you baseline today's capacity, cycle times and error rates so improvement can be proven?

AI Readiness Questions
What is an AI readiness assessment?
An AI readiness assessment is a structured review of whether an organisation's strategy, workflows, data, systems, people and governance can support AI that delivers measurable value. It ends with a prioritised list of opportunities and a roadmap.
How is an AI readiness assessment different from an AI readiness audit?
The terms are often used interchangeably. We use assessment for the overall diagnostic and audit for the detailed review of specific workflows, data and controls within it.
How long does an AI readiness assessment take?
A focused assessment typically takes a few weeks, depending on the number of teams, workflows and systems in scope.
What do we receive at the end?
A readiness score across six dimensions, a prioritised opportunity portfolio, the governance changes required and a recommended first workflow to implement.
Do we need clean data before starting?
No. Understanding the current state of your data is part of the assessment. Many organisations discover that a small amount of targeted data work unlocks the highest-value opportunities.
Is the online score a substitute for a full assessment?
No. The quick score on this page gives an indicative view of operational friction. A full assessment reviews your actual workflows, data and governance.
