Why this matters
Most AI initiatives don't fail because of the model.
Organizations struggle with AI adoption because of leadership, governance, workforce readiness and operational maturity — not because they chose the wrong vendor. The Enterprise AI Readiness Index™ measures those dimensions before you commit budget, headcount or reputation to a major AI program.
Leadership Alignment
Executive sponsorship and a shared definition of AI value.
Governance
Policy, accountability, and risk frameworks that scale with AI usage.
Workforce Readiness
Skills, roles, and culture prepared to work alongside AI.
Operational Maturity
Operating model, controls, and adoption discipline.
The framework
Six executive dimensions. One honest diagnostic.
Informed by recognized AI governance and organizational maturity frameworks — including NIST AI RMF and the dimensions that consistently separate AI leaders from laggards in enterprise, government and higher-ed organizations.
Strategy & Vision
Executive alignment, business case, roadmap maturity.
Data Foundation
Quality, accessibility, lineage and governance of enterprise data.
Talent & Workforce
In-house AI capability, training and operating model.
Risk & Governance
Responsible-AI policy, regulatory alignment, model oversight.
Security & Infrastructure
Platform, MLOps, compute, security posture and integration readiness.
Adoption & Impact
Production deployments, measurable value and change management.
Readiness tiers
From Explorer to Leader.
Every Index result is mapped to a named readiness tier your leadership team can rally around — and that the board recognizes.
