Assessment & Strategy

SMART: AI Assessment

A structured diagnostic that tells you where you are on your AI journey, where the highest-value opportunities are, and what a realistic path to governed AI adoption looks like.

What Is the SMART: AI Assessment?

Before committing to a transformation programme, it helps to have an honest picture of where you are starting from.

The SMART: AI Assessment evaluates your organisation's AI readiness across technology, data, governance, people, and processes. It identifies gaps, quantifies opportunities, and produces a prioritised roadmap — grounded in deployment experience across 20+ UK public sector organisations, not generic best practice.

Assessment Dimensions

  • Technology & Infrastructure
    Current systems, integration readiness, and technical debt

  • Data & Knowledge
    Data quality, accessibility, and knowledge management maturity

  • People & Skills
    AI literacy, change readiness, and workforce capability

  • Governance & Compliance
    Existing frameworks, risk management, and regulatory alignment

  • Strategy & Leadership
    AI vision, executive sponsorship, and strategic alignment
