Find out where you actually stand on AI.
A structured AI Readiness Assessment that places your organisation on the 5-level maturity model from ad-hoc experimentation (Level 1) to AI-driven operating model (Level 5), with concrete next steps grounded in your data, team, and governance reality.

"Where do we actually stand on AI, what would the next level look like, and what would block us from getting there?" is. The Readiness Assessment answers it with a calibrated, evidence-based view of your current maturity across data, talent, governance, infrastructure, and use cases.
It is the pre-Discovery audit. Useful on its own when leadership needs to make an investment decision. Required when the conversation has stalled because nobody can agree on what the current state actually is.
Where you sit, and what the next level requires.
The model is grounded in production-AI patterns, not consulting theory. Each level has measurable indicators across data, talent, governance, infrastructure, and use cases.
Level 1 · Ad-Hoc
Individual experimentation. ChatGPT subscriptions. Some pilots. No coordinated strategy. No measured ROI.
Level 2 · Aware
Strategy exists on paper. A central AI function or steering group. First pilots underway, with shared tooling and governance starting to form.
Level 3 · Aligned
AI work is aligned to business outcomes. Production deployments in 1-3 use cases. Measured ROI on at least one. Funding model in place.
Level 4 · Embedded
AI is embedded in core workflows. Cross-functional adoption. Continuous improvement loops. AI literacy programme in place across the organisation.
Level 5 · Operating Model
AI is part of the operating model, not a project category. Strategic capability rather than tactical tooling. Organisational learning loop closed.

The session works for leadership teams of 3-8 people. Larger groups split into two sessions.
Calibration
Pre-session intake captures what you think your current level is. The workshop opens by testing that against the calibrated indicators.
Evidence Review
Across data, talent, governance, infrastructure, and use cases, we look at the evidence and score the current level on each axis.
Next Level Plan
What level you could realistically reach in 6 months, the leverage points, the blockers, the AWS funding picture, and the prioritised first move.
Up to 100% AWS funded.
As an AWS Community Hero, I navigate the funding process with you, from application to approval. Eligibility is assessed in the first 30 minutes, not added as an afterthought at the end.
PoC Funding
