AI Readiness Self-Assessment (template)

Before you can grow with AI, you have to know where you actually stand — honestly, not aspirationally. This free template gives individuals and teams a structured way to take that first reading: a self-assessment built around the same dimensions our research treats as the core of AI readiness.

It is deliberately a starting point, not a verdict. A self-assessment cannot replace a proof-based score, but it can do something valuable: surface the gaps worth closing and the questions worth asking before you invest time or money.

What's inside

• A four-part framework covering direction, skills, practice and proof.
• Reflective prompts for each dimension, written for both individuals and team leads.
• A simple scoring grid to turn answers into a clear, comparable snapshot.
• A short guide to reading your results and choosing what to work on first.

The framework, in brief

• Direction — do you know which AI skills and paths actually matter for where you want to go?
• Skills — can you do the things those paths require, or only describe them?
• Practice — are you using AI on real problems regularly enough for it to stick?
• Proof — can you show someone else, credibly, what you can now do?

How to use it

Work through it honestly in one sitting — the value is entirely in candour. Individuals can use it to choose a focus; team leads can run it across a group to see where the collective gaps are before designing any training. Re-take it in a few months to see what has actually moved.
