AI readiness assessment

Before you buy licences or write a policy, find out where AI would actually help. We look at how your teams work, how your data is stored and secured, and what your people already do with AI, then give you a scored report and a plan.

Most organisations are already using AI, whether or not they’ve decided to. Staff paste text into free tools, and suppliers switch on AI features by default. Meanwhile, leaders are asked whether to buy Microsoft 365 Copilot without a clear idea of what it would do for them.

A readiness assessment answers three questions in plain English: where would AI help us most, what’s in the way, and what would it take?

What changes for you

  • You know which tasks are worth using AI for, and which aren’t.
  • You can see the risks, such as overshared files or AI tools no one has approved, and how to fix them.
  • You have a costed plan, so the decision to go ahead (or not) is an informed one.
What's included

What we look at

How work gets done

Short workshops with each team to find the tasks that take the most time and would suit AI.

Your data

Where documents live, who can open them and how much is overshared or out of date.

Security and compliance

Identity, device and data protection settings that AI tools depend on, checked against UK GDPR.

AI already in use

Which AI tools staff already use, with or without permission, and what they put into them.

Licences and costs

What you’d need to buy, for whom, and the time saved you could expect in return.

A roadmap

The first three things to do, then a sequenced plan with owners and timings.

Questions

Common questions

What does the score mean?
It’s a score out of 100 across five layers: security, data, automation, Copilot (or your chosen AI tool) and people. It shows where you stand today and gives you a baseline to measure progress against.
Do we have to use you for the next steps?
No. The report and roadmap are yours. Many clients ask us to carry on, but the plan is written so your own team or another provider can follow it.
How much of our time does it take?
Usually an hour with each team, an hour with leadership and some access for the technical review. We fit around your diary.
