What is an AI readiness assessment?
Quick Answer
An AI readiness assessment evaluates your organisation's preparedness to adopt AI across five key dimensions: data quality and accessibility, technical infrastructure, team skills, organisational culture, and strategic alignment.

Frequently asked questions
Most assessments take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the organisation. Larger enterprises with multiple business units may require 4 to 6 weeks.
Key participants typically include senior leadership, IT/technology leads, data owners, and representatives from the business units most likely to benefit from AI.
No prior AI experience is needed. The assessment is designed to meet organisations where they are, whether they have no AI experience or have already started experimenting.
Internal assessments are possible using published frameworks, but external assessments provide objectivity, cross-industry benchmarking, and specialist AI knowledge that is difficult to replicate internally. A combination of internal preparation and external assessment often works best.
The assessment produces a prioritised roadmap. Most organisations then proceed to a proof of concept on the highest-priority opportunity, using the assessment findings to scope the project and build the business case for investment.
