Now, Add Up Your Score

24–30 Points: AI-Ready & Moving Fast

You’re ahead of the curve. You’ve started small, learned fast, and built momentum.

Next step: Scale your wins, invest in culture, and explore predictive AI (e.g., forecasting, personalization).

15–23 Points: AI-Curious — Time to Accelerate

You see the value and may have pilots, but progress is slow.

Next step: Pick one high-impact use case, empower a champion, and run a 90-day pilot with clear goals.

6–14 Points: AI-Asleep at the Wheel

You’re aware of AI, but action is missing. Risk of falling behind is real.

Next step: Start with education. Run the “one task” challenge: “What’s one thing we can automate this quarter?”

0–5 Points: AI-Resistant — Wake-Up Call

AI is not on your radar — but the cost of inaction is growing.

Next step: Share this quiz with leadership. Ask, “What are we protecting by waiting?”

Bonus: Quick Wins to Start Today

No matter your score, here are three things you can do this week:

1. Ask your team: “What’s one repetitive task you’d love to automate?”
2. Try a free AI tool (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, Google Duet AI, Notion AI) on a real task
