AI Readiness Checklist
Know exactly where you stand before you invest
Why AI Readiness Matters
Deploying AI before your organization is ready creates expensive problems: poor data quality undermines agent performance, undefined processes can't be automated reliably, and teams without AI literacy resist adoption. The readiness assessment prevents these failures by identifying gaps before they become blockers.
The Five Readiness Dimensions
Our AI Readiness Checklist evaluates five critical dimensions: Data Readiness (quality, accessibility, and governance of your business data), Infrastructure Readiness (your technology stack and integration capabilities), Process Readiness (how well-defined and documented your workflows are), People Readiness (AI literacy and change management capacity), and Governance Readiness (your policies and oversight frameworks for AI use).
How to Use This Assessment
Work through the checklist with your leadership team — it takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete thoroughly. Score each dimension on a 1-5 scale. The output gives you a readiness score by dimension, identifies your highest-priority gaps, and informs the scope and sequence of your AI implementation roadmap.
What Comes Next
Your AI Readiness Assessment results inform your AI Roadmap — the sequence of initiatives that builds on your strengths and addresses your gaps in the right order. Most organizations find 2-3 dimensions with clear improvement opportunities and 2-3 dimensions where they're ready to move immediately.
