AI Readiness Check
How ready is your organization for AI and agents? — 18 questions, 5 minutes, immediate result.
18 questions, six dimensions, no sign-up. The result appears immediately and persists as a shareable link — only anonymous numbers are stored.
What is measured here
What the check measures
The AI Readiness Check measures how prepared an organization is for artificial intelligence and AI agents — not as a technology inventory, but as a position fix across six dimensions: Leadership, People, Technology, Agent, Innovation, and Future Readiness. Three questions per dimension establish the current state, from the role of AI in corporate strategy to the condition of the data to the question of what an agent would be allowed to do autonomously today. Eighteen answers produce a profile with a maturity level, a bottleneck, a set of pathologies, and one concrete recommended action.
Who it is for
The check addresses executives, strategy and digital leads, and anyone who wants a sober fix on their organization's AI course — from mid-sized companies to corporate divisions. It takes about five minutes and requires no registration and no email address. The result belongs to whoever takes the check: it lives as a link in your own browser and can be shared or discarded.
Why six dimensions
AI maturity rarely fails on technology alone. What decides whether an organization can carry AI is the interplay of wanting and being able: leadership that sets direction; people who may and want to use the tools; data and systems that can support agents; processes that can be handed over; innovation paths that carry ideas to a first trial; and a view ahead that does not spare the business model. The check condenses these six dimensions into two axes — ambition and substance — and assigns the organization one of four types, from spectator to pioneer.
How it relates to the Foresight Check
The AI Readiness Check and the Foresight Check at foresight-review.com are siblings in the same review ecosystem: this one asks whether an organization is ready for AI and agents; the Foresight Check asks how systematically it deals with the future at all. If your Future dimension stands out — weak or strong — that is where to go deeper. And to turn scenarios into pictures, picturesoftomorrow.com is the third building block.
Methods
Ten strategy tools — and what AI changes about them
Ten classic strategy tools on a site about AI readiness—that is not a contradiction but the point. Scenario analysis, SWOT, Five Forces or Wardley Mapping remain the craft tools of strategic work because they structure questions that cannot be automated away: where do we stand, what is changing in the environment, what follows from it? The questions persist—but AI is changing how every single working step is answered, from gathering evidence through analysis to keeping the results continuously up to date.
