AI Readiness Assessment: 15 Dimensions

Assess your organisation's AI maturity across 15 critical dimensions, from policy and governance to model lifecycle management. Understand what it takes to implement AI responsibly and effectively.

Introduction

Implementing AI responsibly requires more than just technical capability. It demands a holistic approach that spans governance, risk management, technical infrastructure, culture, and continuous oversight.

Our AI Readiness Assessment evaluates organisations across 15 critical dimensions, helping you understand where you are today and what it takes to mature your AI capabilities.

About This Guide

This comprehensive guide breaks down AI readiness into 15 interconnected dimensions. Each dimension represents a critical area that contributes to successful, responsible AI adoption.

The 15 dimensions are organized across five key themes:

  • Governance & Compliance (Dimensions 1-2)
  • Operations & Management (Dimensions 3-6)
  • Technical Foundation (Dimensions 7-9)
  • Data & Ethics (Dimensions 10-11)
  • Enterprise Integration (Dimensions 12-15)

Understanding the Maturity Levels

Each dimension is assessed across four progressive levels:

📊 Basic — Minimal or ad-hoc practices, with significant gaps in governance, oversight, or capability.

📈 Standard — Foundational practices in place, with basic controls and processes established.

🚀 Advanced — Mature practices with structured processes, integration across functions, and proactive management.

⭐ Leading — Best-in-class practices, with AI deeply embedded in enterprise strategy, continuous improvement, and industry-leading transparency.

These levels help you benchmark your organisation’s current state and identify the path to best-in-class AI adoption.
