Is your leadership team ready for AI decisions?

Ten questions on whether your leaders share a view of AI, who owns it, how risk is handled, and how progress is measured. Ask each leader to take it, then compare.

The check

Answer for your leadership team.

“Partly or unsure” is a fine answer. The point is to find the next step.

  1. 01 Could your leadership team name the two or three places AI matters most to your business?
  2. 02 Does your board have a shared, current understanding of what AI can and cannot do?
  3. 03 Is one executive accountable for AI across the company?
  4. 04 Do you know which AI tools your staff already use for work?
  5. 05 Do you know where your most valuable data lives, and who controls it?
  6. 06 Is there a written policy on which data staff may put into AI tools?
  7. 07 Has the board discussed AI risk: errors, data exposure, and vendor dependence?
  8. 08 Have you told staff how AI will and will not change their roles?
  9. 09 For any AI pilot, did you agree in advance how success would be measured?
  10. 10 Does leadership review AI progress on a regular schedule?

How the score works

Yes scores 2, Partly or unsure scores 1, and No scores 0.

16–20 Well prepared
Your leadership has the basics in place. A quarterly briefing keeps priorities current as the field moves.
10–15 Partly prepared
Some foundations are in place, with gaps in ownership, policy, or measurement. A workshop usually closes most of them in one session.
0–9 Early
Leadership does not yet share a view of AI. A board briefing or leadership workshop is the fastest way to build one.

The check reflects one person’s view. It works best when each leader takes it and the team compares answers.

Your next actions list every No first, then every Partly, in question order.

After your score

What usually comes next.

  • No shared view on the board: a board briefing gives directors one baseline and the questions to ask
  • No clear owner or priorities: a leadership workshop names three priorities and their owners
  • No AI use policy: write one page on approved tools and data that never goes in
  • Well prepared: a quarterly briefing keeps it current ($6,000 per quarter)
  • Unsure about all of it: plan a briefing in a free 20-minute call

Give your leadership team one clear view of AI.
