A self-assessment

AI Readiness for Senior Leaders

Ten questions, about five minutes, and you get an honest score with a clear next step. No signup, no email, no follow-up sales pitch.

The questions favour leaders considering serious AI investment over those exploring out of curiosity. Score yourself based on how things actually stand today. A flattering result is no use to anyone.

Question 1

01 We can name three specific business problems AI could solve for us, and roughly what solving them is worth.

Question 2

02 We have at least one person internally who can tell hype from substance in vendor demos.

Question 3

03 We've spoken to peers in our sector about what's actually working for them, not just what vendors are pitching.

Question 4

04 We know which AI tools our team is already using, sanctioned or not.

Question 5

05 We have a written view on what we will not use AI for, and why.

Question 6

06 The data we'd need to build something differentiated is in a state we could actually use it.

Question 7

07 We have a way to evaluate AI suppliers that goes beyond their own benchmarks and case studies.

Question 8

08 Our board can tell the difference between a real AI initiative and a rebranded automation project.

Question 9

09 We know what the EU AI Act, our local regulations, or our sector-specific rules require of us, and by when.

Question 10

10 If we paused all AI experiments tomorrow, we know which ones we'd resume first and why.
