Soltec AI Readiness Assessment

A comprehensive, administered assessment designed to help organizations scale AI responsibly and deliver real business value.

The Soltec AI Readiness Assessment (Full) helps organizations determine whether their data, processes, operating model, and governance are truly prepared to support scalable, responsible AI and automation.

Rather than focusing on AI tools or vendors, this assessment evaluates the foundational capabilities required for AI initiatives to move beyond pilots and deliver measurable outcomes.

Why AI Readiness Matters

Many organizations successfully pilot AI initiatives but struggle to scale them or realize meaningful return on investment. In most cases, this is not a technology failure — it’s a readiness gap.

AI depends on:

Trusted, high-quality data
Stable, well-governed workflows
Clear accountability and decision ownership
Effective risk and compliance controls

Without these foundations, AI initiatives often stall, introduce risk, or create downstream rework.
This assessment is designed to help your organization move forward with clarity and confidence.

What the Assessment Evaluates

The Full AI Readiness Assessment evaluates six core dimensions that collectively determine enterprise readiness.
These dimensions are intentionally ordered from foundational to advanced and are used consistently across all Soltec AI readiness materials.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

Focus: Oversight and responsible use of AI
This dimension examines policies, controls, traceability, and compliance mechanisms required to manage AI-related risk at scale.

Outcome:
You gain clarity on whether AI can be deployed responsibly, transparently, and in alignment with regulatory and risk expectations.

Data Quality & Master Data Readiness

Focus: Trustworthiness and consistency of enterprise data
This dimension assesses whether critical data is defined, validated, governed, and reliable enough to support AI-driven insights and decisions.

Outcome:
You understand whether AI outputs can be trusted and acted upon without downstream correction or rework.

Process & Workflow Readiness

Focus: Stability and consistency of core business processes
This dimension examines whether workflows are documented, standardized, and suitable for automation or AI enablement.

Outcome:
You gain clarity on whether AI is being applied to well-defined, repeatable processes rather than fragmented or ad-hoc workflows.

Technology & Integration Readiness

Focus: Ability to integrate and scale AI capabilities
This dimension evaluates whether existing systems support AI through clean integration, extensibility, and cross-system orchestration.

Outcome:
You understand whether your technology landscape enables AI scale or introduces friction and constraint.

People, Skills & Operating Model

Focus: Organizational readiness to adopt and sustain AI
This dimension evaluates skills, change readiness, role clarity, and accountability required to operationalize AI beyond pilots.

Outcome:
You are positioned to determine whether your teams are prepared to adopt, operate, and continuously improve AI-enabled processes.

Business Strategy & Value Alignment

Focus: Alignment between AI initiatives and business outcomes
This dimension examines leadership alignment, prioritization, and value-based sequencing of AI initiatives.

Outcome:
You are positioned to assess whether AI efforts are designed to deliver measurable business value rather than isolated experimentation.

How the Assessment Is Conducted

The Full AI Readiness Assessment is administered by Soltec, not self-guided.

It is delivered through:

Facilitated executive and stakeholder workshops
Structured interviews across business and IT teams

Responses are analyzed holistically to identify strengths, gaps, and improvement themes, with a focus on sequencing and practicality.

What You Receive

Following completion, your organization receives:

AI Readiness Summary
A clear, executive-level overview of readiness across all six dimensions.

Strengths & Gaps Overview
Identification of areas that support AI success and areas that may limit scale, value, or risk management.

Prioritized Improvement Themes
High-level guidance focused on foundational improvements and sequencing.

Action-Oriented Roadmap
A phased roadmap designed to improve readiness efficiently and enable successful AI adoption.

What This Assessment Is Not

To avoid confusion, this assessment:

Is not a vendor or tool selection exercise
Does not evaluate individual performance
Does not prescribe AI use cases prematurely
Does not require a large upfront investment

It is designed to support informed decision-making, not force solutions.

The Soltec Perspective

Soltec’s approach to AI readiness is grounded in Best Practice Solutions™ that emphasize:

First-time-right data quality
Standardized, governed workflows
Side-by-side extension of existing systems
Sustainable operating models

This ensures AI initiatives are built on a stable, scalable foundation — not quick fixes.

Closing

AI success is not about moving faster — it’s about being ready.

The Soltec AI Readiness Assessment helps your organization move forward with confidence, clarity, and control.
