Most AI initiatives fail not because the technology doesn’t work, but because the organisation isn’t ready for it. Data is siloed. Processes are undocumented. Governance is an afterthought. Culture is resistant.
This assessment tool provides a structured, honest evaluation of where your organisation stands across the six dimensions that determine AI deployment success.
The Six Dimensions
1. Data Infrastructure
Is your data accessible, clean, and governed? Can you actually feed your AI systems the information they need?
2. Talent Capability
Do you have the right mix of technical and domain expertise? Can your people work effectively alongside AI systems?
3. Process Maturity
Are your processes documented, measured, and optimised? AI amplifies what you have — if your processes are broken, AI will break them faster.
4. Governance Frameworks
Do you have clear policies for AI use, data privacy, and algorithmic accountability?
5. Cultural Openness
Is your organisation ready to change how it works? AI adoption is a cultural transformation as much as a technical one.
6. Strategic Alignment
Is your AI investment aligned with your business strategy? Or are you doing AI for AI’s sake?
How to Use This Tool
The assessment includes a scoring rubric, diagnostic questions for each dimension, and a maturity matrix that maps your current state to recommended next steps. It’s designed to be completed by a cross-functional team in a single working session.
