Interpreting Your Score

Your score

6-12: Exposed

AI activity is likely present, but transformation control is weak. The CEO should reset ownership, stop low-value activity, and define the business outcomes AI must improve.

Your score

13-18: Fragmented

The organisation has useful pilots or pockets of adoption, but value, governance, workflow change, and accountability are not yet moving together.

Your score

19-24: Scaling

AI is becoming operationally meaningful. The priority is now consistency: sharper measurement, stronger governance, and better cross-functional ownership.

Your score

25-30: Transforming

AI is changing how the organisation works. The next leadership task is to maintain agency, manage dependency, and keep value creation tied to strategy.
