Dimension Deep-Dives

1
Strategy & Vision
Score: 78/100
  • • Board-level AI steering committee established with quarterly reviews
  • • Clear 3-year roadmap: Phase 1 (pilots) complete, Phase 2 (scaling) underway
  • • Top 5 AI use cases identified with business case prioritization
  • • Competitive positioning gap: limited innovation beyond core business optimization
Recommendation
Expand innovation focus beyond cost reduction to revenue-generating AI products. Establish dedicated innovation pipeline with quarterly hackathons.
2
Technology Integration
Score: 72/100
  • • Migrated 85% workloads to AWS cloud with containerized deployments
  • • SageMaker and Databricks platforms deployed for ML development
  • • API-first architecture supports model serving; latency targets met
  • • Legacy systems integration remains bottleneck for some use cases
Recommendation
Build API adapters for remaining legacy systems. Consider event-driven architecture for real-time model updates. Invest in API gateway standardization.
3
Data & Information
Score: 65/100
  • • Data lake exists but lacks formal governance; data cataloging incomplete
  • • Data quality inconsistent across source systems; no SLOs defined
  • • Privacy controls adequate; security posture strong with encryption
  • • Data accessibility limited; discovery tools not widely adopted
Recommendation
Establish Data Governance Council. Implement Collibra or similar tool for cataloging. Define data quality SLOs by domain. Train 50+ power users on discovery tools.
4
Skills & Literacy
Score: 68/100
  • • 30+ data scientists and ML engineers; hiring competitive salary bands
  • • Ad-hoc training only; no structured upskilling program for business users
  • • Executive AI fluency varies widely; CFO and CRO weak on technical details
  • • Certification programs exist but participation only 12% of eligible staff
Recommendation
Launch role-based training: (1) Executives—quarterly AI literacy bootcamps, (2) Managers—monthly use case workshops, (3) Analysts—self-paced cert with incentives.
5
Process & Operations
Score: 75/100
  • • 2-week agile sprints for model development; cross-functional teams
  • • CI/CD pipelines deployed; 80% of models deployed within 5 days
  • • Change management process documented; adoption resistance managed
  • • Model monitoring basic; retraining cadence ad-hoc not systematic
Recommendation
Formalize MLOps: establish model registry, automated retraining schedules, performance SLAs. Build 3-person MLOps team to standardize practices.
6
Governance & Ethics
Score: 71/100
  • • AI risk framework exists; model risk review process formal
  • • Compliance team engaged for regulated use cases (Finance, Healthcare)
  • • Bias testing performed manually; no automated guardrails in place
  • • Model explainability concerns raised but tooling limited
Recommendation
Invest in explainability tools (SHAP, LIME). Build automated bias detection into CI/CD. Create AI Ethics Board with Legal, Compliance, and Product leads.
7
Culture & Change
Score: 64/100
  • • Some teams embracing AI; others skeptical or resistant
  • • Success stories communicated; but ROI metrics not visible to all
  • • Innovation encouraged in pockets; systemically risk-averse in others
  • • Change fatigue present; previous transformation programs incomplete
Recommendation
Establish Centers of Excellence (CoE) for AI in key departments. Launch transformation office. Share ROI metrics quarterly with all employees. Recognize early adopters.
8
Financial Resources
Score: 69/100
  • • $5M annual AI budget (0.8% of revenue); competitive for industry
  • • Investment allocation: 50% infrastructure, 30% talent, 20% tools
  • • ROI tracking informal; cost attribution unclear across projects
  • • 2-year budget horizon; 5-year planning absent
Recommendation
Establish AI Finance Center. Track ROI by use case with standardized metrics. Plan 5-year budget with scenarios (conservative/optimistic). Quarterly forecasting reviews.
