AI Readiness Assessment Report

Generated December 10, 2025

sample@example.com

About this assessment: This report provides indicative insights based on your self-reported answers. It is intended to identify AI areas for further investigation, not a comprehensive security, capability, or compliance audit. Results should be validated through deeper organisational analysis before any significant investment or strategic decisions are made.

Your Overall Results

AI Exposure (D1)High

4.0

AI Capability (D2)Moderate

2.5

AI Governance (D3)Moderate

2.0

Quadrant: Blind Risk Zone

Focus: Foundation Priority

Detailed analysis of each dimension and tailored suggestions follow below.

D1 - AI Exposure (Usage): 4.0

High

Active Engagement. Your responses indicate widespread AI adoption across your organisation. This active engagement creates momentum for innovation, though it also suggests that ensuring secure, supported workflows warrants attention.

AI Exposure (Usage) Distribution vs Benchmark (mean = 3.8)

D2 - Organizational AI Capability (Skill): 2.5

Moderate

Developing Capability. Your responses suggest inconsistent capability levels. You may have pockets of expertise alongside gaps in training or infrastructure. Targeted investment could help close specific gaps.

Organizational AI Capability (Skill) Distribution vs Benchmark (mean = 2.8)

D3 - AI Governance (Control): 2.0

Moderate

Developing Governance. Your responses suggest governance structures exist but may have enforcement gaps. Strengthening implementation could improve confidence in AI risk management.

AI Governance (Control) Distribution vs Benchmark (mean = 3.0)

Quadrant Results

Your scores place you in the 'Blind Risk Zone'

Your responses indicate areas where both capability and governance may benefit from attention. Establishing foundations in both areas would support more confident AI adoption.

AI Readiness Risk Map

Tailored Suggestions

Blind Risk Zone: Foundation Priority

Active AI exposure (D1 at 4.0) without strong foundations in either Capability (D2 at 2.5) or Governance (D3 at 2.0) requires attention to establish basic structures.

Strategic Focus

With AI usage already active, focus on establishing basic structures quickly. Prioritise minimum viable governance first to manage immediate risk, then build capability aligned with your emerging framework.

Consider prioritising:

Establish basic usage guidelines immediately
Define accountability structures for AI decisions
Begin building capability aligned with governance
Assess current AI usage to understand risk exposure

Further Guidance: Four-Step Development Process

A structured approach can help organisations develop their AI maturity thoughtfully:

Step 1: Understand Current Position

Develop a deeper understanding of your organisation's specific context and priorities.

Explore root causes: Investigate what's driving dimension scores
Assess readiness: Understand cultural factors and existing friction points
Identify priorities: Determine which areas would benefit most from attention
Define boundaries: Clarify scope for initial focus areas

Step 2: Identify Opportunities

Focus on identifying high-value, manageable opportunities for AI adoption.

Map value: Identify use cases that offer clear benefit with manageable complexity
Define requirements: Establish minimum controls needed for chosen use cases
Set indicators: Define metrics for both value delivered and risk managed

Step 3: Build Capability and Controls

Develop integrated capability and governance appropriate to your chosen opportunities.

Practical governance: Design controls as enablers rather than barriers
Targeted training: Build skills focused on compliant, effective AI use
Stakeholder engagement: Ensure appropriate buy-in before proceeding

Step 4: Pilot, Learn, and Expand

Test approaches in controlled environments and scale what works.

Controlled pilots: Test within defined boundaries
Monitor outcomes: Track against established indicators
Iterate thoughtfully: Adjust based on real experience
Document learnings: Create reusable patterns for future expansion
