Unlocking AI Success: The Power of Our AI Adoption Readiness Assessment

Why AI Adoption Still Fails—And What to Do About It

Despite the hype and proven potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a striking majority of organizations still struggle to implement and adopt AI effectively. A 2024 BCG report found that 74% of companies fail to achieve and scale value from AI initiatives. The challenges are often not technical—but organizational. Issues like unclear strategies, skill shortages, change resistance, and data silos often stall progress.

To address this, we created the AI Adoption Readiness Assessment—a powerful tool designed to help organizations identify their readiness level, align leadership, and establish a roadmap for sustainable AI success.


What Is the AI Adoption Readiness Assessment?

The AI Adoption Readiness Assessment is part of our broader AI transformation program. It’s the first step in a structured curriculum that empowers your organization to:

  • Understand where you stand today

  • Pinpoint areas that need improvement

  • Align AI strategy with business goals

  • Prepare your people, data, and systems for AI integration

  • Launch pilot projects with confidence


The Strategic Foundation: 

Our assessment is built upon the proven Framework, developed by YB Inspire and widely adopted in enterprise AI programs. 


What the Assessment Covers

The Readiness Assessment explores seven key domains critical for successful AI transformation:

1. Strategy & Leadership

  • Do you have a documented AI strategy and roadmap?

  • Are AI initiatives tied to strategic business outcomes?

  • Is leadership actively supporting and communicating the AI vision?

2. Technology & Data

  • Is your infrastructure scalable and compatible with AI?

  • Is your data accessible, clean, and integrated?

  • Are you monitoring and managing AI model performance?

3. Talent & Capabilities

  • Do you have internal AI talent or strong external partners?

  • Are employees trained and comfortable with AI technologies?

  • Are managers equipped to oversee AI-powered teams?

4. Change Management & Communication

  • Are employees informed about how AI will impact their roles?

  • Do you have structured support for AI-driven change?

  • Is there a culture of transparency and collaboration?

5. Operating Model

  • Are AI tools integrated into day-to-day operations?

  • Are responsibilities clearly defined between IT, business, and data teams?

  • Do cross-functional teams work effectively on AI projects?

6. AI Ethics & Sustainability

  • Do you have guidelines for fairness, bias, and transparency?

  • Are environmental and societal impacts of AI evaluated before launch?

7. Governance & Business Impact

  • Is there enterprise-wide governance of AI projects?

  • Do you measure business outcomes and ROI of AI investments?


How It Works

The assessment is conducted through a structured survey and workshop format, facilitated by our AI adoption specialists. It includes:

  1. Self-Assessment Survey – A robust questionnaire that key stakeholders complete across all seven domains.

  2. Diagnostic Report – A personalized heatmap and readiness score per domain.

  3. Strategic Workshop – A collaborative session to explore results, identify priorities, and co-create your AI roadmap.

  4. Action Plan – A tailored, step-by-step strategy to move from current to desired maturity.


Why This Matters Now

In the coming years, AI will define competitive advantage. But organizations that leap without readiness are more likely to face setbacks—failed pilots, ethical issues, and employee resistance.

As highlighted in books like “Human + Machine” and “The Coming Wave”, the organizations that thrive will be those that embrace collaborative intelligence—where humans and machines work together to unlock new possibilities.

Our AI Readiness Assessment ensures you are equipped to make that leap—ethically, strategically, and sustainably.
