Executive AI Readiness Assessment

Designed for organisations experiencing:

  • No clear AI strategy or roadmap

  • AI initiatives failing to scale beyond pilot

  • Growing concerns around AI governance and risk

  • Poor data readiness for enterprise AI

  • Difficulty demonstrating AI business value

  • Uncertainty around responsible AI and compliance

  • Inconsistent AI adoption across the organisation

  • Executive pressure to invest in AI with confidence

Why AI Readiness Matters

Successful AI adoption rarely depends on one decision:

It strengthens or weakens gradually through:

  • Executive strategy and leadership

  • Governance and accountability

  • Data quality and ownership

  • Responsible AI and compliance

  • Security and privacy

  • Operating model maturity

  • Delivery capability

  • Business value realisation

What the Assessment Covers

The Executive AI Readiness Assessment independently evaluates your organisation's readiness to adopt and scale AI across strategy, governance, data, technology and operating model.

The ten assessment domains

AI Strategy: Vision, roadmap and executive sponsorship.

Governance: Policies, oversight and accountability.

Data Readiness: Data quality, governance and ownership.

Architecture: Enterprise architecture, AI platforms and integration.

Technology & Infrastructure: Cloud, compute and AI readiness.

Security & Privacy: Cyber security, privacy and compliance.

Responsible AI: Ethics, transparency, bias and governance.

Operating Model: Organisation, skills and ways of working.

Delivery & Adoption: AI delivery, adoption and change.

Value & Investment: Benefits, investment and value measurement.
