Introducing AI successfully: Are we ready to use AI in practice?
Artificial intelligence has the potential to fundamentally transform business models, processes, and decision making structures within organizations. Yet reality often looks different. Many AI initiatives fall short of expectations.
The reason is rarely the capability of the technology, but a lack of organizational readiness. Studies show that more than 40 percent of companies investing in AI do not have a clear AI strategy. As a result, projects remain stuck in the pilot phase or fail to realize their full potential.
The AI Readiness Check helps you systematically assess your organization’s starting point and identify the key areas for development needed to successfully introduce AI.
The AI Readiness Check is a practical tool for assessment and orientation when preparing AI initiatives. It helps organizations answer two key questions:
Target state: How extensive is the actual transformation and implementation effort required for the planned AI initiative?
Current state: How well developed are the necessary capabilities across the key dimensions of AI readiness?
By combining both perspectives, a clear picture emerges. The check shows your current level of AI readiness and highlights the level of maturity required to achieve your ambitions. This makes it clear where your organization is already well positioned and where targeted development is needed.
Successful AI initiatives require shared alignment. The AI Readiness Check brings perspectives together and creates a solid basis for decision making.
Key benefits:
Shared understanding of the target state and key areas for action
A solid basis for decision making
Early identification of obstacles
Avoiding costly missteps
Faster implementation from idea to application
Strengthening competitiveness in the digital transformation
01
Is AI clearly prioritized, strategically embedded, and aligned with the business model?
02
Do organizational structures, roles, decision making processes, and workflows support the implementation of AI?
03
Is the technical foundation, data quality, compliance, and accountability prepared for AI?
04
Does leadership provide direction, prioritization, and clear accountability for AI initiatives?
05
Does the organization enable experimentation, learning, and an open approach to mistakes and AI?
06
Are AI related capabilities and future skills systematically developed across all levels
Not every AI initiative requires the same level of organizational maturity. The AI Readiness Check therefore takes into account the scope and complexity of your planned initiatives, from initial pilot projects to comprehensive AI transformation. The more ambitious your goals, the more advanced your strategy, organization, capabilities, and infrastructure need to be. The check helps you align your level of ambition with the necessary prerequisites and expected effort in a realistic way.
The result: A clear picture of your organization’s AI readiness and concrete, prioritized approaches for your next strategic steps.
To help you get started, we have developed a compact worksheet for the AI Readiness Check. It provides a clear structure that allows you to reflect on your organization’s AI readiness step by step.
