AI Readiness Scan

How ready is your organisation for AI?

Most companies don't have an AI problem. They have a translation problem. They know AI can help, but not what, not how, and not in what order. The readiness scan is where we start, so the roadmap that follows is grounded in reality instead of ambition.

WHAT WE MEASURE

Six dimensions, one honest baseline.

A mix of interviews, a self-assessment, and benchmarking. We look at the whole picture, because AI rarely stalls on the technology alone.

Strategic direction

Is there a clear AI ambition, and does it line up with where the business is actually going?

Data

Is the data there, clean enough, and governed well enough to build on?

Tools & technology

Does the current stack support AI, and can it integrate with what you already run?

Governance & compliance

Are there frameworks for responsible, compliant AI, including the EU AI Act, sized to the real risk?

Organisation & processes

Are the operating model and processes mature enough to absorb AI, with clear owners?

People, skills & culture

Is there enough AI literacy, and the appetite to change how work actually gets done?

WHAT YOUR REPORT LOOKS LIKE

Where you are, where you're going.

An executive read of the current state, the target ambition, and a prioritized action plan to close the gap. An illustrative example:

The maturity ladder

None
Ad hoc & reactive
Aware but fragmented
Structured & focused
Strategic & scalable

Where you are Target

Example output. Your report shows your real position on each dimension, your target, and the order in which to close the gaps.

WHAT YOU GET

A baseline you can act on.

  • A maturity baseline across all six dimensions, in plain language
  • A gap analysis that says what's missing and why it matters
  • Prioritized, concrete recommendations, not a generic checklist
  • The focus areas, and often the first AI champions, to start with

The model is grounded in recognized international frameworks, translated to the reality of how companies actually run: a lean IT team, mixed data quality, and a pragmatic appetite for AI. It's the same scan we use to open every engagement. See it in action with PGS Group →
