What does AI readiness mean?

AI readiness describes how well a company is prepared organizationally, technologically and culturally for the use of artificial intelligence. It is about clear goals, suitable infrastructure, qualified teams, available data and a supportive corporate culture.

What is considered in an AI readiness check?

The check analyzes the AI maturity level in six dimensions: Strategy, AI application, talent & culture, technology, data and change management. The aim is to identify strengths and gaps and derive a clear roadmap from this.

AI Readiness Check - your benefits with MaibornWolff

Many companies start with AI - but often without a strategy that really pays into the company's goals. The result: individual measures without effect, a lack of clarity about responsibilities, a lack of acceptance within the team or unsuitable AI tools. This is exactly where our AI readiness check comes in.

We ensure that you invest in AI in a targeted manner and have a clear basis for action instead of getting lost in too many use cases.

Transparent actual status

Companies receive a clear and comprehensive overview of their current status in the field of AI. This means you know exactly where your company stands - professionally, technologically and organizationally.

Work effectively & efficiently

The structured process only takes two weeks and creates clarity about the objectives and a structured roadmap.

Prioritize goals

We help you to formulate clear maturity goals and derive suitable measures. You receive a clear framework for targeted AI implementations.

Build up knowledge

The joint analysis creates a deep understanding of requirements, potential and concrete next steps.

Mapping perspectives

By involving various stakeholders such as management, HR and IT experts, a comprehensive picture is created.

Accompanying change

The check promotes the necessary awareness in the team - and provides managers with a tool for targeted management.

1. contact

In an initial meeting, we ask about the needs and framework conditions, such as whether there is already an AI initiative, who is driving the topic and the framework in which the AI readiness check would be embedded.

2. workshop & interview planning

We plan the implementation of the readiness check in the form of a workshop and involve various stakeholders from management, specialist departments, HR and IT. We also jointly determine the time horizon for the objectives and measures to be developed - usually a period of around 6 to 18 months.

We go through the readiness check with the client in advance. We adapt terminology to the situation, thereby increasing people's understanding in the workshop and reducing potential resistance. We also adjust and supplement individual questions as required in order to evaluate your company even better, for example if you would like to offer AI services yourself.

3. carrying out the measurement

Our AI maturity model will be applied in the workshop (and possibly in the interviews). Six central dimensions are considered from an interdisciplinary perspective, including:

Strategy (AI as part of the strategic direction),
Application of AI (identifying and leveraging potential),
Talent and culture (building and distributing knowledge, AI in everyday working life),
Technology (use of an AI platform with defined AI architecture),
Data (preparation, access and use as well as quality optimization) and
Change management (creating awareness for change).

The workshop participants vote together on each question of the maturity model, discuss their different points of view and agree on a qualified and quantified assessment. They then define target maturity levels and concrete steps that are necessary within the specified time horizon.

At the end, the maturity level of your company is clearly on the table - including two focus dimensions, which are at the center. The prioritized roadmap for the coming months is based on these surveys.

4. target setting

5. development of measures & roadmap

6. conclusion & framework for action

You will receive a detailed PDF document with all the results of the readiness check and a presentation of the current maturity level in the dimensions mentioned. We also create a management summary for top management with clear recommendations for action, the roadmap and the specific challenges that may affect implementation.

It is now possible for you to invest in artificial intelligence in a targeted manner and take the first steps independently.

7. aftercare & follow-up

1. preparation & planning

Provide relevant information and data
Identify suitable stakeholders (e.g. from IT, HR, management)

2. active participation

3. implementation & follow-up

4. communication & cooperation

Unclear goals - lack of a defined AI strategy
Technological gaps - missing or inadequate infrastructure
Data problems - poor access and poor data quality
Knowledge deficits - lack of training and AI expertise in the team
Silo thinking - AI initiatives without coordination between departments
Cultural barriers - internal resistance and low acceptance
No change management - lack of support for change from above
