AI Capability Maturity Scorecard

Get Your Organisation AI-Ready

The vast majority of Australian CEOs say AI is now crucial to their business strategy, but only 18% report having strong AI foundations in place. This AI capability maturity scorecard is a high-level self-assessment that helps you see exactly where your organisation sits across seven dimensions, and how to develop your AI strategy in a targeted way.

What are the Levels of Maturity?

There are Five Levels of AI Maturity. They measures how systematically and safely AI is embedded across each dimension of your business operations.

Level 1

Exploring

Ad-hoc, individual curiosity. No strategy or sponsorship.

Level 2

Experimenting

Pilot projects, emerging sponsorship, fragmented effort.

Level 3

Operationalising

AI in production; defined process and formal governance.

Level 4

Scaling

Enterprise-wide platform, CoE, reuse and standardisation.

Level 5

Transforming

AI-native operating model; a core competitive advantage.

What are the Seven Business Dimensions?

01.

Strategy & Vision

How clear your AI strategy is, and how well it ties back to actual business objectives — not just isolated pilots.

Only 33% of Australian enterprises have a clear AI vision. Source: ServiceNow

02.

Data & Infrastructure

The quality and availability of your data, and whether your technical infrastructure can actually support AI at scale.

03.

Talent & Skills

AI/ML capability, digital literacy, and how ready your workforce is to execute on the strategy, not just the tools.

04.

Governance & Ethics

The policies, risk management and responsible-AI practices that keep AI use safe, compliant and trusted.

Only 43% have formalised data governance. Source: ServiceNow

05.

Use Cases & Delivery

How well you identify, deliver and deploy AI use cases — turning ideas into shipped, working outcomes.

06.

Culture & Change

Your organisation's appetite for AI adoption and innovation — and how ready people are to actually change how they work.

07.

Value Realisation

The ability to measure, track and demonstrate AI return on investment — proving the value, not just claiming it.

How the Scorecard Works

Step 1: Answer the Questions

Select the answer that best describes your team's current state, for each SDLC phase. The scorecard will calculate each phase's current score from your answer.

Step 2: Set a Target

Choose a target for each phase, typically one to two levels up from where you are now.

Step 3: Re-measure at Handover

Your step one scores will become the baseline. When the engagement wraps and capability hands back to your team, you score again - the gap between the two is your proof of improvement.

Your maturity level is scored based on your lowest-scoring dimension

Even if your Strategy and Vision is strong, if your Data and Infrastructure can't support it, that doesn't add up to a high maturity score.
