AI Readiness​
Discovery Projects

Preparing your organization for the AI era goes beyond identifying suitable use cases for this game-changing technology. It also demands a shift in culture and strategy to unlock AI’s full benefits. Investments will be needed in people, processes and platforms to integrate AI productively and ethically into daily work.

AI readiness is a decisive factor for organizational competitiveness in the digital economy.

Is your digital workplace AI ready?

Recent studies highlight the substantial gap between companies' recognition of AI's potential impact and their actual readiness to implement it. While 84% of companies believe that AI will have a significant or very significant impact on their business, only 14% feel they are fully prepared to integrate AI into their operations.

This disparity emphasizes the urgent need for organizations to focus on building AI readiness to effectively leverage emerging technologies.

To support you on your AI journey, DWG Consulting offers a high-level evaluation of your digital workplace’s AI readiness through a discovery project.

Informed by our research into AI strategy and deployment, this big-picture exploration and analysis will help you understand how your current digital landscape aligns with emerging AI capability and to plan the next steps for AI implementation.

Our approach to AI readiness discovery

The discovery project has three main stages:

1. Assess

Workshops with core teams will provide a current view of your AI readiness in terms of digital workplace strategy, technology and people, and identify the key internal stakeholders for further engagement. ​


2. Engage

Through stakeholder interviews, we will evaluate in more detail the gaps in your AI readiness across critical aspects of the digital workplace, including governance and decision making, technology integration, data operations, user experience, change management capabilities and ethics policies.​

3. Plan

Presenting our AI readiness analysis and actionable recommendations, including a report-back session for stakeholders to dive deeper into our findings and ask questions.​
