1. What place does AI hold in the organisation’s strategy?
- 1. No formal place: uses arise from individual initiatives.
- 2. A few projects are supported, without an overall roadmap.
- 3. A prioritised roadmap exists, sponsored by a member of the executive team.
- 4. AI shapes the strategy: every department has quantified objectives tied to it.
2. How are AI projects chosen and funded?
- 1. Case by case, with no dedicated budget or criteria.
- 2. By each department, on one-off budgets and by its own criteria.
- 3. By shared criteria (value, feasibility, risk), from an identified budget.
- 4. As a managed portfolio: gains are measured and budgets reallocated continuously.
3. Where is the data your use cases would need?
- 1. Scattered across files and messaging tools, hard to find.
- 2. In a few business tools, loosely connected to each other.
- 3. Centralised for the key domains, with an owner per domain.
- 4. Governed end to end: controlled access, monitored quality, reusable from one case to the next.
4. How much do you trust the quality of that data?
- 1. Little: errors are discovered when the data is used.
- 2. It varies: some teams check, others do not.
- 3. Good on the key domains, thanks to regular checks.
- 4. Measured continuously, with alert thresholds and tracked corrections.
5. How do teams use AI day to day?
- 1. A few curious people, on a personal basis, with no framework.
- 2. Pilot teams, without shared training.
- 3. Most of the teams concerned, trained and equipped.
- 4. All teams, with upskilling paths maintained over time.
6. Who holds the AI skills?
- 1. No one in particular.
- 2. One or two specialists, in demand from all sides.
- 3. An identified team that supports the business lines.
- 4. Go-to people in every business line, backed by a central team.
7. Are your processes described in a usable way?
- 1. Little or not at all: know-how stays in people’s heads.
- 2. Partly, in documents that are rarely up to date.
- 3. Key processes are mapped and kept up to date.
- 4. They are measured continuously and redesigned when an agent is built into them.
8. What place does AI hold in those processes?
- 1. None, or peripheral uses (copy-pasting into an assistant).
- 2. Local automations, without an overall view.
- 3. AI supports core processes, with human review.
- 4. Agents execute at scale; teams validate and arbitrate.
9. Which AI tools do teams have?
- 1. Consumer tools, used without a framework.
- 2. Tools chosen by each team, with no overall consistency.
- 3. A shared platform, approved by the IT department.
- 4. A shared platform, connected to business systems and supervised.
10. How do these tools connect to your systems (ERP, CRM, messaging)?
- 1. They do not connect to them.
- 2. Through manual exports and imports.
- 3. Through connectors on the main systems.
- 4. Through standardised, documented and monitored integrations.
11. Are there rules for using AI?
- 1. No: everyone does as they see fit.
- 2. General guidelines, little known to the teams.
- 3. A charter known to all, with clear prohibitions (sensitive data, decisions).
- 4. Active governance: uses are reviewed and the rules kept up to date.
12. How are AI-related risks monitored (confidentiality, bias, regulatory obligations)?
- 1. They are not monitored.
- 2. Case by case, when a problem arises.
- 3. Through a review before each release to production.
- 4. Continuously: register of uses, regular checks, obligations kept up to date.
