Quick check: How AI-ready is your company?

How clear is your strategic target image for AI? How structured and accessible is your data? Are there defined governance rules and responsibilities? And are your employees already empowered to use AI sensibly and safely?

With the Quick Check, you can assess the current AI readiness of your company in just a few minutes. Targeted questions on strategy, data, technology, organization and governance are used to determine an individual AI readiness level.

Very strong = empowerment is systematically established (e.g. onboarding)

Who is the Quick Check for?

IT Management / CIO

AI Initiatives Are Stuck in Pilot Mode
Pressure from management: “Where do we stand on AI?”

After the review: a reliable assessment of the current situation—which can also serve as a basis for making the case to upper management.

Head of Data / Analytics

Data in silos; quality and accessibility unclear
Academic departments are calling for AI, but the data infrastructure isn’t there

After the assessment: How does your data readiness stack up against the industry average—backed by research data.

IT Security / Compliance

The use of AI arises informally, without clear rules
Governance, documentation, and audit processes are lacking

After the assessment: How big is the governance gap—before it becomes a risk?
