AI Readiness Action Kit

You know your AI readiness score. This kit turns it into a 90-day plan your CEO or board can approve: ranked use cases, a roadmap with owners, the risks, the investment and the deck to present it.

Board deck slide showing readiness scores by dimension, with sample data
What is inside

Six working files, not a slide pack to read

Every file is editable and comes with a worked example, so you start from something, not from a blank page.

Excel

AI action workbook

Scores and targets, a use case scorer that ranks your ideas, a 30/60/90-day roadmap with 21 starter actions, a risk register with 12 starter risks and an investment summary with payback.

PowerPoint

AI board deck

Eleven slides: where we stand, what it means, priority use cases, the 90-day plan, risks, governance, investment and the decisions you need.

Word

AI acceptable use policy

Rules staff can follow: approved tools, what data may go where, what is not allowed, roles and incident reporting.

Word

AI steering group charter

Who decides what: members, decisions, agenda, and the five steps from idea to approved use case.

Word

AI use case proposal

One page per idea, so proposals from every function arrive comparable and ready to score.

Guide

From score to funded plan in 30 days

The week-by-week path, how the scoring works and the five mistakes to avoid.

The use case scorer

Score each idea from 1 to 5 on six criteria. The workbook calculates value, feasibility and a priority score, ranks the list and tells you which to start, prepare, test or park.

How it works

From score to decision in four weeks

Week 1 · Frame it

Enter your scores, agree the business outcomes with your sponsor, publish the policy.

Week 2 · Choose

Score the ideas with the business heads. Fund two or three, not ten.

Week 3 · Plan

Owners and dates on the roadmap, risks rated, cost and benefit estimated.

Week 4 · Decide

Fill the deck from the workbook and ask for the four decisions.

Who it is for

  • CIOs, CTOs and heads of IT asked for "the AI plan"
  • Leaders in growing companies without a strategy team
  • Chief digital and data officers who need the business to prioritise
  • Advisers preparing a client leadership session (one licence per client organisation)

What you need

Excel, PowerPoint and Word, or compatible software. About 12 hours of your time over a month.

FAQ

Questions about the kit

Do I need to take the AI Readiness Check first?

It helps, and it is free: the kit starts from your seven dimension scores. You can also enter your own estimates.

How is this different from the free report?

The free report tells you where you stand and what to focus on. The kit gives you the working files to choose use cases, plan, govern and get the plan approved.

Is it really free?

Yes, for now. Download it, use it and adapt it inside your organisation. Please do not resell or republish it; send colleagues to this page instead.

Can I put my own logo and colours on it?

Yes. Every file is fully editable.

Is the policy template legal advice?

No. It is a practical starting point. Have it reviewed against the law that applies to your company before adoption.

Can I give feedback?

Please do. Tell us what was useful and what was missing at eric@delattre.me. The next version is built from that feedback.

Start with the free check, then put the result to work.
