AI Readiness Checklist for Senior Leaders

Is your organisation genuinely ready for AI?

Most organisations think they are. Most are not.

This free checklist gives you 30 questions to find out — covering the six areas that determine whether AI adoption succeeds or stalls: strategy, data, technology, people, governance, and execution.

It is written from 30 years of leading enterprise technology programmes — not from the sidelines. No fluff. No vendor agenda. Just the questions that matter.

What you will get

  • 30 leadership-level questions across 6 readiness domains
  • A scoring guide to interpret your results
  • Clear explanations of why each question matters
  • A practical agenda for addressing the gaps you find

By Govind Sharma, Founder of Informd — technology and product leader with 30+ years of enterprise experience across publishing, financial services, events, and the public sector.

What the checklist covers

01 — Strategic clarity

Does your leadership team have a clear, specific AI vision — or just ambition?

02 — Data foundations

Is your data accessible, governed, and good enough to power AI at scale?

03 — Technology

Can your infrastructure support AI workloads, and do you know what to build vs buy?

04 — People & capability

Do you have the skills, the literacy, and the people strategy to make AI work?

05 — Ethics & governance

Have you addressed accountability, bias, and regulatory compliance before you deploy?

06 — Execution

Do you have a plan to move from pilot to production — and measure what actually matters?
