AI Centre of Excellence Simulator
Simulate your AI journey by exploring different maturity scenarios and seeing how they impact your organisation’s AI readiness.
Start by selecting either Uniform Progress or Multi-Speed Reality - this determines whether all five capability pillars advance together in lock step, or whether each pillar can progress at its own pace (which reflects how most organisations actually evolve).
Experimenting
Ready for the Next Stage?

Click each criterion to cycle through Not Met → Partially Met → Fully Met. Your readiness percentage updates automatically based on mandatory criteria (required) and recommended criteria (beneficial for smoother transitions).
