Is your organization ready to govern AI, or just use it?
Most organizations are deploying AI tools faster than their governance, culture and strategy can keep up. The AI Readiness Assessment measures readiness across five dimensions and turns the result into specific recommendations a board can act on.
The AI Readiness Assessment is a self-report instrument. Results are directional indicators of readiness, not an audit, certification or compliance opinion.
The problem this solves
Tool adoption shows up in dashboards. Readiness to govern shows up in how strategy, operations, people, technology and governance line up. The assessment shows where that alignment is strong and where the exposure sits, in language a board can use.
What an adoption metric tells you
How many tools are in use and by whom. Useful, but silent on whether anyone can explain, challenge or stop them.
What the assessment shows
Readiness across five dimensions, with the weakest link visible, so attention goes where the exposure is.
The five dimensions
Readiness is only as strong as its weakest dimension.
1
Whether AI is tied to purpose, priorities and risk appetite.
Looks at direction and ownership, not at tools.
2
How AI is embedded in day-to-day work and processes.
Looks at where AI touches decisions and who checks the output.
3
Skills, culture and change readiness around AI.
Looks at whether people can question the system they use.
4
The technical foundation AI depends on.
Looks at data, platforms and security as enablers of governance.
5
Oversight, accountability and decision rights for AI.
Looks at who is accountable and what the board actually sees.

Debrief
An advisory session that pressure-tests where the real exposure sits.
How it is used
Take the free assessment, read your five scores and decide whether the Board Brief is worth taking to your directors.
Walk your five dimension scores through with an advisor against your actual organizational context and leave with a prioritised plan.
How it differs
Many frameworks score technical maturity. This one asks whether the people accountable are positioned to govern.
| Typical maturity framework | AI Readiness Assessment | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Systems and infrastructure | Strategy, operations, people, technology and governance together |
| Audience | Technical and IT leaders | Boards and executives |
| Output | A maturity score | Five dimension scores, weakest link and board-ready recommendations |
| Status | Often a formal audit | A directional readiness read, not an audit |
Design principles
Governance first
It is built around the board's accountability, not around which tools are installed.
