Executive AI assessment

Where does your company really stand on AI?

A structured diagnostic for leadership teams and boards. Assess your organisation across six dimensions, identify the gaps that hold back value, and leave with a 90-day roadmap and a board-ready presentation.

The challenge

Every leadership team says AI is a priority. Few can say where they actually stand, and fewer still turn pilots into measurable value.

01

Pilots that never scale

Experiments multiply across functions, but few reach production or show up in the P&L.

02

Foundations that aren't ready

Fragmented data, legacy platforms and thin capabilities quietly cap what AI can deliver.

03

Risks without an owner

Employees adopt AI tools faster than policies, controls and regulation can keep up.

Our approach

A disciplined diagnostic, in three steps

Designed the way a strategy engagement starts: establish the baseline, isolate the binding constraints, agree on the first moves.

STEP 1

Assess

24 questions, each with five concrete, observable maturity levels. No vague ratings: every answer describes a real state of your organisation.

STEP 2

Diagnose

An instant readiness index, your maturity stage and profile across six dimensions, compared with other respondents as the dataset grows.

STEP 3

Act

A prioritised 30/60/90-day roadmap focused on your critical gaps, delivered as a full report and a presentation-ready PowerPoint deck.

The framework

Six dimensions that determine whether AI creates value

The framework reflects what separates organisations that scale AI from those that remain stuck in experimentation.

01

Strategy & leadership

Ambition tied to business goals, clear executive ownership, dedicated funding and board engagement.

02

Data foundations

Accessible, trusted and owned data, and company knowledge that AI can safely use.

03

Technology & platforms

Modern core systems, approved AI tools, integration capability and a deliberate architecture.

04

People & skills

Everyday adoption, specialist talent, structured training and disciplined change management.

05

Governance, risk & security

Usage policy, risk review, security controls and a clear view of applicable regulation.

06

Use cases & value

A prioritised pipeline, use cases in production, value tracked in financial terms and a path to scale.

FAQ

Questions leaders ask

How long does the assessment take?

About eight minutes. Progress is saved in your browser as you go, so you can pause and return.

Do I need to register?

No. Your readiness index, maturity stage and critical gaps are shown immediately. Only the full report and the PowerPoint deck ask for your name and work email.

Who should complete it?

A senior leader with a cross-functional view: CEO, COO, CIO or CDO. For a richer picture, ask two or three members of the leadership team to complete it independently and compare.

How is the score calculated?

Each answer maps to a maturity level from 1 to 5. Dimension scores average their four questions; the readiness index averages the six dimensions and is expressed out of 100. The methodology explains the full model.

Can I present the results to my board?

Yes. The deck is generated as an editable PowerPoint file with an executive summary, the six-dimension profile, a diagnosis per dimension and the roadmap.

Is my information confidential?

Yes. Answers are stored securely and used only to produce your report and anonymous, aggregated benchmarks. Contact details are never sold or shared. See the privacy notice.
