Why Getting AI-Ready Matters
Most organisations rush into AI adoption without establishing the foundational governance, policies, and processes needed for success. This creates:
- Security vulnerabilities from uncontrolled tool adoption
- Compliance risks from inadequate data governance
- Wasted investment in tools that don't deliver value
- Employee resistance and confusion
- No clear accountability when things go wrong
Getting AI-Ready first ensures you adopt AI safely, compliantly, and strategically from day one.

How We Work Together
Discovery Workshop
We start with stakeholder interviews and workshops to understand your current AI usage, challenges, and strategic goals. This informs the rest of the engagement.
Readiness Assessment
We evaluate your organisation across all 15 dimensions, identifying strengths, gaps, and priority areas for improvement. You'll receive a detailed scorecard and recommendations report.
Co-Creation Sessions
Working together, we develop your AI policy, governance frameworks, risk management processes, and training materials tailored to your organisation and industry.
Implementation Support
We help you roll out policies, train teams, and establish governance structures. You'll have ongoing support as you embed AI readiness into your organisation.
Readiness Validation
At the end of Stage 1, we conduct a validation review to confirm you're ready to proceed to Stage 2 (Setup AI Systems) with confidence and clarity.
Who Should Start with Stage 1?
New to AI
You haven't adopted AI yet and want to get it right from the start. Stage 1 ensures you build on solid foundations.
Shadow AI Problem
Employees are already using AI tools without oversight or governance. Stage 1 helps you regain control and establish guardrails.
Compliance Concerns
You operate in a regulated industry (finance, healthcare, legal) and need robust governance and risk management before AI adoption.
Stage 1 in Action
See how organisations have successfully completed AI readiness assessments and built strong foundations for implementation:
