Are You an ‘AI READY’ Leader: Beginner, Proficient or Expert?
Please see our ‘AI Ready’ Leaders checklist assessment below. These are the questions we are using to rate ‘AI Ready’ Leaders. They have been developed from our work with clients and extensive AI industry research.
Leaders are rated on 3 levels of mastery, Beginner, Proficient, or Expert. To move through these levels of expertise we are looking for their answers to demonstrate a deep understanding of the topic with examples of successful accomplishments. Once a leader finds their level of ‘AI Ready’ mastery the remaining topics and questions provide a road map towards becoming an ‘AI Ready’ Expert.
