Coverage

5 Dimensions

Strategy, Data, Platform, Operating Model, Governance

Output

Readiness View

A starting point for better decisions

WHEN TO USE IT

Take the assessment when one of these pressures has reached the leaders

AI value pressure

Investment has been made, but measurable business value is difficult to explain.

Regulatory pressure

AI governance, inventory, classification, or accountability is becoming harder to defer.

Investment decision pressure

A platform, programme, or leadership investment needs a more defensible starting point.

Transformation fatigue

Prior spend has not translated into value, and the organisation needs to understand why.

New leadership

A new CIO, CDAO, COO, CEO, or senior leader needs a baseline before committing direction.

Internal misalignment

Technology, data, business, risk, and finance leaders do not share the same view of readiness.

WHAT IT COVERS

Five dimensions that determine whether Data & AI works in practice.

01

Strategy & Value

Are initiatives linked to defensible business outcomes?

02

Data Foundations

Is the data trusted, owned, and usable?

03

Technology & Platform

Are platforms coherent and being used to potential?

04

Operating Model & Delivery

Is there clear ownership, capability, and accountability to execute?

05

Governance, Risk & Regulatory

Is the organisation in control and defensible?

WHAT IT HELPS YOU SEE

A clearer view of what is enabling value — and what is blocking it.

  • Where the organisation stands across the dimensions that matter

  • What is enabling or blocking value

  • Where risk, duplication, waste, or loss of control exists

  • What must be fixed first

  • Which initiatives to accelerate, pause, or stop

The test

Leadership should be able to make a different and better decision after the assessment than they would have made without it.

WHAT COMES NEXT

Use the self-assessment as a starting point — not a final answer.

The self-assessment is designed to create a useful first view. For organisations that need an independent, evidence-based position, the full Data & AI Readiness Sprint provides a structured assessment, scorecard, AI system inventory, prioritised action plan, and executive defensibility pack.

Readiness scorecard

Ready, partially ready, or not ready across the five dimensions.

AI system inventory

What is running, where it sits, and how risk should be understood.

Prioritised action plan

What to fix first, what to defer, and what to stop.
