AI readiness assessment

Consider any formal plans, executive-approved initiatives, or defined timelines.

• No plans or awareness at the leadership level
• Informal discussions have happened but nothing is documented
• A strategy is in draft or early development
• A strategy exists and is actively being refined
• A comprehensive, board-approved AI strategy is in place

• Leadership is unaware or uninterested in AI
• Some awareness but no active sponsorship
• One or two executives are champions of AI initiatives
• Leadership actively allocates budget and reviews AI progress
• A C-suite owner (e.g. CDO, CAIO) leads AI transformation

• Little to no understanding of AI's potential value
• General awareness but no specific use cases identified
• A few use cases have been explored
• Multiple use cases with estimated ROI are documented
• Business cases are validated and prioritized against strategic goals
