AI Activation Index
Your starting point for smarter, faster AI adoption.
Figuring out how to close the gap between where you are with AI—and where you want to be—isn’t easy.
The challenges are real: shifting strategies, evolving cultures, technical complexity, legal questions, and the need to keep your team motivated and engaged.
With the right insights, you can move forward with confidence.
We’ve worked with thousands of individuals and organizations and understand the practical hurdles leaders face when trying to make AI real. That’s why we built the AI Activation Index—a simple but powerful way to assess where you stand, uncover the gaps, and take meaningful next steps toward adoption.
Identify the Gaps: Domain Scores
The Domain Scores provide a quantitative evaluation of the current state of AI in your organization in five areas critical to a successful AI implementation. We conduct an anonymous, organization-wide survey that takes about 20 minutes to complete. The data can be segmented by location, function, level, and tenure.
AI Strategy
How clear is our AI strategy? Does leadership endorse it? Do our teams understand it? How are they implementing it?
Usage and Literacy
How are staff using AI now? How well do they understand its risks and rewards? How are they learning about how to use it well?
Organizational Culture
Does our culture support AI experimentation? Does it support the training that will be required? Where is there resistance to AI?
​
Governance & Ethics
How clear is our AI policy? Does it integrate ethical considerations? Do our teams understand it? How well do they follow it?
Technical Readiness
Do our people have the necessary knowledge and skills to implement AI into their workflows? Do we have the right AI talent on-board?
From Assessment to Action
Using the quantitative and qualitative results, we work with you to create an Activation Plan tailored to where you are now with AI, your organizational culture and infrastructure, and the specific opportunities identified by your teams.
​
This plan can include training, policy support, masterminds, internal champion programs, guided experimentation, use case development, and ongoing advisory services. We tend to define a small set of initiatives at first, work with your internal teams to activate them, and monitor and evaluate their progress. We build on our successes and learning to broaden the activation scope in an iterative manner.
