Is your AI program as impact-ready as you think it is?

Which quadrant are you in? Answer twelve questions to get your organization's AI impact readiness score.

 

 

Why calculate your score?

Most organizations running connected operations have AI initiatives that delivered promising results in a controlled pilot environment. However, very few have been able to scale and operationalize these AI initiatives to create Profit and Loss (P&L) impact. Our Strategy of Things AI IQ-Lite Mini Assessment gives you an indicative starting picture of where you are falling short.

Who should calculate their score?

If the scenarios below sound familiar, our mini assessment was built for you. You don't need a complete AI strategy to calculate your score. You don't need a dedicated AI team. You just need five minutes and honest answers to twelve questions.

Why aren't I getting P&L impact from my AI investments? You built the connected infrastructure. Now you're being asked why AI isn't moving the bottom line.

What do I need in place to scale and operationalize AI pilots? You ran a successful AI pilot. Now you're not sure your organization is ready to scale it.

How do I help my customers get AI-ready? Your clients want AI that delivers operational results. You need to know where they actually stand before you can help them get there.

Do I have everything I need to turn AI into a sustainable business capability? You're running AI initiatives across your operation without a clear picture of whether the foundation is solid enough to support them.

I'm now the AI leader. What do I do next? You didn't set out to own AI. But you do. And you need to understand where you are and a structured way to start.

The lite assessment is designed to give you a structured starting picture, not a precise measurement. Twelve questions across nine layers will surface the right areas of examination and give you a meaningful reality check on where your program likely stands. It will not replace a full diagnostic. Most leaders find the greatest value not in the score itself but in the questions, which reveal dimensions of their AI program they have rarely examined in a structured way.

You receive your indicative score and zone-by-zone picture immediately, along with the free handbook. If your results surface gaps you want to address with structured support, Strategy of Things offers a 60 minute results debrief conversation. That is a working conversation, not a sales pitch. If there is a fit for deeper engagement, it will be apparent to both of us.

Most AI readiness tools evaluate whether you are using AI and how many use cases you have running. The Strategy of Things AI IQ™ Lite Assessment evaluates organizational AI capability across all nine layers of the enterprise capability stack, from technical infrastructure through strategic leadership, in a structured twelve-question format designed for busy mid-market leaders. It is designed to surface the structural gaps that determine whether AI creates sustained business value, not just isolated project results.
