AI Readiness Assessment

Where AI helps, and where it doesn't

Most organisations know AI matters but struggle to identify where it genuinely improves workflows versus where it's just automation theatre. Teams have ideas but no framework for evaluating them. Investment choices happen without clear ownership or success metrics.

AI Readiness Assessment maps your current workflows, identifies where AI can genuinely help, clarifies ownership, and models realistic ROI. This is detective work - interviews, observation, data analysis - not theoretical frameworks.

For organisations exploring AI application but needing structured guidance on where to start and what's realistic.

What you get

An opportunity map showing high-impact areas with named owners and success metrics. Not a deck - a working document used to prioritise investment and guide implementation.

Timeline:
2-4 weeks
Deliverable:
Opportunity map with prioritised areas, ownership assignments, ROI estimates, and realistic implementation roadmap

How it works

Workflow Discovery

Interviews with operational teams, leadership and frontline staff to identify the workflows that slow people down today.

Opportunity Mapping

Document workflow steps, data dependencies, ownership gaps and where AI could genuinely improve outcomes.

Impact Assessment

Evaluate each opportunity for feasibility, ROI, implementation effort and organisational readiness.

Prioritisation & Roadmap

Rank opportunities by impact and feasibility, assign ownership, establish success metrics, create phased implementation plan.

What's required

Access to operational teams, process owners, and systems. Senior stakeholder time for interviews and validation. Willingness to identify real problems, not ideal-state aspirations.

"The readiness assessment surfaced that our real bottleneck wasn't data - it was unclear ownership. That reframe saved us from a failed pilot."

Common questions about AI readiness

Common questions about AI readiness

What is an AI readiness assessment?

A structured look at where AI could realistically help your business across workflows, data, systems and teams. It produces a prioritised list of starting points rather than a generic strategy.

What does it look at?

Everyday workflows in reporting, admin, customer service, sales, ecommerce, product data, finance and operations, plus the systems and data those workflows depend on.

Which teams should be involved?

The people closest to the work, plus whoever owns the relevant systems and data. Useful input usually comes from operations, commercial, IT, product and customer service together.

Do we need clean data first?

No. Part of the assessment is identifying what data exists, where it lives, what shape it is in and whether it is good enough for the workflows you want to improve.

What do we get at the end?

A written summary with a ranked view of practical AI opportunities, the workflows worth starting with and what would need to be true to move forward. It is built to be shared internally.

What happens after the assessment?

You decide. The output is yours. Many teams use it to align internally; some go on to a focused engagement on one workflow.
