AI Readiness
AI readiness is the organization's ability to use data, processes, and governance to support trustworthy intelligent use cases—before building models or buying AI tools.
Explanation
It includes clear use cases, data quality and ownership, integration, and risk oversight. Starting with an AI tool without an operating and data foundation adds noise rather than value.
Business context
Organizations that unify data and processes first create a clearer foundation for later AI initiatives.
Frequently asked questions
- Does advisory implement an AI model?
- Focus is readiness, use cases, and operating/data foundations; implementation follows only after approved scope and a suitable team.
