Most organisations overestimate how ready they are
Tools arrive before the strategy. People experiment on personal accounts. Policies lag behind practice, and the EU AI Act’s rules on AI literacy and transparency already apply.
The audit gives your leadership team a common language and a single, honest picture of where you are, so you can stop debating opinions and start agreeing priorities.
The six pillars
Everything that decides whether AI adoption sticks
Score five statements in each pillar from 0 (not started) to 4 (embedded). Each pillar is worth 20 points, for a total out of 120.
- Pillar 01
Strategy and leadership
Is there a clear, owned plan for AI?
- Pillar 02
Data and technology
Are your tools and data fit for AI?
- Pillar 03
Skills and AI literacy
Can your people use AI well and safely?
- Pillar 04
Governance and risk
Do you know what’s in use, and is it compliant?
- Pillar 05
Culture and ways of working
Do people feel safe to experiment and share?
- Pillar 06
Change and people
Are you bringing your people with you?

Questions
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. Enter your details and we’ll email you the 11-page workbook as a PDF.
Who should complete it?
It works best as a group exercise with people from leadership, HR, IT or data, and operations. Small organisations can complete it with two or three people.
How is it different from the online audit?
The statements and scoring are the same. The workbook is built for group sessions and printing, and includes a 90-day plan template. The online version scores itself and emails you a report.
Is this legal advice?
No. It’s a self-assessment and general guidance, correct as of October 2026.
