AI Readiness Diagnostic.
Before you can design for AI, you need to understand how your organization actually makes decisions right now. This engagement maps the reality.
You know better technology won't fix broken decision-making.
You're a leader who's deployed AI tools and wondering why they're not delivering the impact you expected. Or you're about to deploy AI and want to understand what organizational changes will be necessary.
You want a clear picture of where you stand before you commit to change.
No map of your own decision-making.
Most organizations have org charts, process documents, and policy manuals. What they don't have is a clear understanding of how decisions actually happen — who talks to whom, where information gets stuck, where approvals kill speed.
Without that map, you deploy tools that recommend things nobody acts on. Or you automate decisions that needed human judgment. Or you create new bottlenecks because your workflow wasn't designed for AI.
2–3 weeks embedded in your organization.
We map the reality of how your organization operates, then show you where AI fits.
Stakeholder interviews
We conduct structured interviews with 4-6 decision-makers across your business. We ask how decisions actually happen — not how the manual says they should.
Decision flow mapping
We map the actual flow of information and approval. We identify where decisions are made intuitively, where they're made by committee, where they're made by rule.
Bottleneck analysis
We identify where decisions slow down, where information gets stuck, where approvals kill speed, and where humans are adding judgment versus just rubber-stamping.
Findings & recommendations
We show you the map. We highlight where AI can accelerate decisions without breaking accountability. We recommend what to do next.
Five deliverables. Zero ambiguity.
Decision map
Visual representation of how your organization actually makes key decisions — not the org chart version, but the real flow of information and approval.
Stakeholder analysis
Which voices matter in different types of decisions, who holds informal influence, and where sign-off authority really sits.
Bottleneck report
Where decisions get stuck, what it costs you in time and opportunity, and which bottlenecks AI can eliminate.
AI opportunity matrix
Ranked opportunities where AI can create the most value — sorted by impact, feasibility, and risk.
Readiness report
Your organization's current state and concrete recommendations for next steps, whether that's a Cell Design Sprint or something different.
From kickoff to clarity.
Typically involves 4–6 stakeholder interviews, decision flow analysis, bottleneck identification, and a presentation of findings with concrete recommendations.
Your decision. Your pace.
Most organizations that complete the diagnostic move into the Cell Design Sprint to actually redesign their decision-making. But you don't have to.
The diagnostic is designed to give you the clarity you need to make that decision with confidence. You might handle the redesign internally, or you might take a different path entirely.
Cell Design Sprint
Restructure your teams into autonomous decision-making cells that operate at AI speed.
