AI readiness is not a checklist exercise. It is a test of operating capability in five areas: data, team, process, infrastructure, and investment discipline.
Five readiness pillars
- Data quality and accessibility.
- Team capability and leadership alignment.
- Process documentation and workflow clarity.
- Integration-ready technology infrastructure.
- Budget aligned to measurable outcomes.
