AI Readiness Assessment

The First Step Toward Responsible AI Adoption

Every organization talks about AI. Few know where to begin. The AI Readiness Assessment gives your leadership team clarity on where AI can add the most value — and what barriers could derail adoption before it starts.

What It Is

​A structured evaluation of your organization’s workflows, processes, systems, and culture to determine where AI can be integrated effectively. The assessment maps current practices, identifies opportunities for automation or augmentation, and highlights organizational factors that influence adoption.​

Why It Matters

Jumping into AI without preparation leads to wasted investment, misaligned initiatives, and staff resistance. This assessment ensures your first steps are deliberate, strategic, and aligned with your leadership priorities.

​

You’ll gain:

  • A clear view of where AI is realistic and valuable.

  • Insight into cultural and operational readiness.

  • Early identification of compliance, governance, or data gaps.

  • A prioritized list of opportunities to pursue next.
