Introduction

‍

The future belongs to AI enabled organisations. But AI needs high-quality ML to work and that's impossible without high-quality data.

‍

So how can your organisation accurately assess their AI readiness?

‍

Introducing DARA: the Data & AI Readiness Application. DARA is a unique, free-to-consume consulting solution designed to help enterprises accurately baseline their data and AI readiness, to further nurture their digital transformation journey.

‍

DARA was designed to provide an in-depth self-assessment tool, granting enterprises the knowledge they need to drive their data and AI evolution effectively.

How DARA Works

‍

DARA offers a multi-dimensional, holistic approach to understanding your data and AI readiness, providing insights about your current status while equipping you with valuable comparative perspectives, critical in navigating your transformation journey.

‍

Once you’ve completed the assessment, your organisation will be measured across our five point readiness scale:

‍

Foundational: Your organisation is beginning to explore the power of data or AI, but there's a long journey ahead. You're aware of the potential, and you're ready to start building your capabilities.

‍

Active: You're actively experimenting with data or AI. You have a designated team or individuals driving initiatives, with initial use-cases under development or testing.

‍

Operational: You've successfully implemented data or AI solutions, and they're delivering results. You're on track with an established vision for data or AI, and you're scaling its usage.

‍

Embedded: Data or AI is deeply integrated into your organisation's processes and decision-making. It's not just a tool but a core part of your strategy, driving a competitive advantage.

‍

Transformational: You're at the pinnacle of data or AI maturity. Not only is it fully embedded in your operations, but it's also transforming your organisation. You're a leader in the space, setting benchmarks and shaping trends.

‍

Assessing your data and AI readiness has never been simpler!
