AI readiness assessment, run live with your leadership team
Most readiness assessments are a form someone fills in alone. Ours runs live in a 90-minute session with your leadership team in the room, because the disagreement in that room is the actual finding.
You leave with a readiness score you keep and a written note within two days, whether or not you work with us.
What gets assessed
Six parts, scored by your own team rather than by us. Each one is a question with a name attached, or a gap.
| The part | The question |
|---|---|
| Leadership | Who owns AI here, and why does it matter to the business? |
| Tools | What's approved, what are we paying for, and what should we retire? |
| Data | What can AI touch, and what can it never touch? |
| Workflows | Where does AI do real work, with a person still in the loop? |
| People | Who's skilled, who's adopting, and who's the champion? |
| Results | What's AI worth here, in dollars and in how the work feels? |
The interesting part is usually the spread. When your COO scores Data a four and your ops lead scores it a one, that gap is worth more than either number.
How it runs
Leadership in the Age of AI, 90 minutes, in person or virtual. A working session, not a presentation.
We tell you what we've found inside businesses like yours, then we ask who owns AI here and stop talking. Your team fills in the six owners. We run the readiness questions live and score them.
You leave with:
- The six owners filled in by your own team
- A live readiness score you keep
- The ranked list of where AI could pay off here
- A written note within two days: the risks we spotted and what to do first
- One clear next move, whether or not you work with us
Required in the room: the owner or CEO, whoever would own AI, and at least three people. It doesn't work with one person reporting back.
The deeper version
The session gives you a score in 90 minutes. If you need the baseline that everything else measures against, that's the Six-Owner Score inside Foundation, built from staff interviews, your tool and spend records, and a workflow walked end to end.
One is an honest read. The other is a measured baseline. Start with the first.
Why readiness isn't a grade
A score is only useful if it changes what you do next. We're not handing you a certificate or a maturity tier to put in a deck.
What it should tell you: what you already know, what's happening informally, what's inconsistent, what needs an owner, and what to fix first. 36% of organizations have no AI governance function, and 65% of leaders name unclear ownership as a top barrier (PwC Canada, 2026). Most readiness gaps turn out to be ownership gaps.
Where it leads
- AI strategy consulting if the answer is that you need direction and a plan.
- AI governance consulting if the answer is that the rules are the gap.
- AI training for employees if your people are the gap.
- All four stages if you want the whole picture.
Who this is for
Canadian companies of 30 people and up, any industry, where AI use has started informally and leadership wants a straight read before spending anything.
Questions
01 What is an AI readiness assessment?
A structured look at whether your company can adopt AI: who owns it, what the rules are, whether your people can apply them, and whether anyone's measuring. Ours runs live with your leadership team and scores six parts.
02 How long does it take?
90 minutes. The written note follows within two days.
03 Do we get a report?
You get the six owners filled in by your own team, the live score, a ranked list of where AI could pay off, and a written note. The fuller baseline, the Six-Owner Score, is part of Foundation.
04 Who needs to be in the room?
The owner or CEO, whoever would own AI, and at least three people. The full leadership team is better, along with anyone already experimenting and whoever runs IT.
05 What happens if we score badly?
Nothing bad. Most companies score low on Data and Results and high on nothing. The score exists to tell you what to fix first.
