Overview
An AI adoption maturity model helps organizations assess current capability and define the next practical step toward reliable, value-producing AI operations.
Framework Stages
- Level 1 - Exploration: isolated experiments, no production controls
- Level 2 - Pilot: one or two scoped pilots with early governance
- Level 3 - Production: repeatable deployment pattern and ownership
- Level 4 - Portfolio: multiple workflows with shared platform components
- Level 5 - Optimized: continuous evaluation, governance, and cost optimization
Implementation Focus
- capability assessment across people, process, data, and platform
- gap analysis for production readiness
- prioritized roadmap for moving one level at a time
- KPI framework tied to maturity progression
