AI Readiness Assessment
A short engagement producing a concrete report: which AI use cases are worth building, which should be deferred, and the three steps the organisation needs to close first before serious investment makes sense.
Who it is for
Organisations between "we should do something with AI" and knowing what to do. Boards and leadership asking the CIO for an AI strategy with a deadline. Clients who need a short, concrete engagement before committing to a larger architecture or build.
- Organisations at the start of their AI journey
- Boards and executive leadership with an AI mandate
- IT leadership looking for the right first step
Problem it solves
Most AI strategy exercises end with a slide deck nobody implements. The Readiness Assessment ends with a report that is actually usable: which use cases, in what order, and what must be closed first before serious investment.
- "The board wants an AI plan within a quarter."
- "Our pilot stalled, what now?"
- "We don't know if our data is ready."
What a typical engagement looks like
| Phase | Duration | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Kick-off | Half day | Scope, stakeholder list, ground rules |
| Discovery | 1 week | 6 to 8 interviews, system inventory, data-landscape sketch |
| Synthesis | 3 days | Readiness report (20 to 30 pages) |
| Readout | Half day | Workshop with decision-makers |
Team: A lead assessor from our architecture team, with specialist support where the scope requires it.
Approach
- Hands-on delivery. Honest readout: if "not yet ready" is the answer, that's the answer.
- The report names Integratio services where they fit, and explicitly names when another supplier fits better.
- Light variant for SMB: 1 week, 3 to 4 interviews, one-page report.

What this service is not
- Not a sales pitch dressed as an assessment.
- Not a pure data-readiness audit.
- Not a tool-selection exercise.
