Why Predictive Maintenance Pilots Rarely Make It to the Factory Floor
The model is rarely the problem. Almost half of maintenance AI ideas are hard to deliver at scale because of what has to happen between the alert and the repair.
AI Readiness Snapshot
How ready is your organisation to turn AI ambition into value?
Six executive dilemmas, one for each readiness domain. You see your score straight away.
What you get
- An indicative score for each of the six readiness domains
- Your strongest condition and your biggest gap
- Where to focus first to turn AI ambition into value
- Share your details only if you want to discuss the result
Why we ask dilemmas, not yes or no questions
Ask whether you have an AI strategy and almost everyone says yes. A dilemma asks how you would handle a real situation, such as dozens of AI proposals arriving at once. The answer says much more about how ready you are.
What the six dilemmas cover
- Governance
- Strategic Alignment
- Process
- Business Process Standardisation
- Data
- Data Governance
- Technology
- Enterprise Integration
- Engineering
- AI Solution Architecture
- Ecosystem
- AI Operating Model
The six levels in every dilemma
- 0Not ReadyAI is not part of the plan yet; initiatives are isolated.
- 1Limited ReadinessAmbition exists, but priorities, ownership and funding are informal.
- 2Functional ReadinessSome areas have clear AI priorities; alignment across the organisation is uneven.
- 3Operational ReadinessPriorities, governance and funding are aligned with strategy.
- 4Enterprise ReadinessInvestments are steered on measurable enterprise outcomes.
- 5Adaptive ReadinessAI continuously shapes strategy, investment and competitive position.
The wording differs per dilemma; these are the general levels.
