Is Your Company Ready for AI?

Before buying a tool, answer these questions. In under 5 minutes you'll know if your organisation has the groundwork to adopt AI for real, or if there's prep work to do first.

Culture and leadership

Has leadership personally tried an AI tool, not just authorised its use?

Is there any budget, even a small one, set aside for experimenting with AI?

Can teams try new tools without asking for permission case by case?

Processes and data

Have you identified at least one repetitive process that eats real time every week?

Is the information needed to automate that process accessible, not just in one person's head?

Have you measured what that process costs today, before trying to improve it?

Team

Is someone on the team already using AI on their own initiative, even informally?

Is there a channel where people share what they're discovering with AI?

Does the team feel safe getting something wrong while trying something new?

Red flags

(each yes subtracts a point)

You've already bought an expensive AI tool that almost no one really uses

The AI conversation is just "we should do something about this", with no concrete case

The plan is to wait and see what competitors do before moving anything

Feli's rule: AI adoption doesn't start with a tool, it starts with a real process and a team that's allowed to experiment. Buy the tool last, not first.
