Use this checklist to evaluate your organisation’s readiness for AI adoption. Tick “Yes”, “No”, or “In Progress” for each item.

​

AI Readiness Assessment is a structured evaluation process designed to help organisations determine their preparedness for adopting and implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions. It assesses several dimensions, including data infrastructure, talent and skills, leadership commitment, technological maturity, strategic alignment, and ethical considerations. The aim of this assessment is to identify both strengths and gaps within the organisation that may influence AI adoption. By understanding these factors, businesses can develop a tailored roadmap to responsibly and effectively integrate AI into their operations, maximising value while mitigating risks.
