AI Maturity Model for Enterprises

Understand where you stand today and build a clear roadmap to scale AI across your organization

What Is an AI Maturity Model

The AI Maturity Model is a framework that helps enterprises understand where they stand today in their AI journey and what steps are needed to scale AI across the organization. It measures readiness across strategy, data, infrastructure, governance, talent, and use case execution.

Enterprises use the AI Maturity Model to move from isolated pilots to a fully AI enabled organization.

Why Enterprises Use an AI Maturity Model

Companies often adopt AI in fragments. The AI Maturity Model creates clarity, alignment, and a roadmap for scale.

Ideal for industries with regulatory responsibilities: financial services • healthcare • retail • technology

Where the AI Maturity Model Creates Business Impact

The maturity model helps enterprises invest correctly and scale safely.

Sales

  • Clarity on which AI tools and agents should be deployed
  • Prioritized roadmap for sales enablement AI

Customer Support

  • Consistent RAG and copilot rollout
  • Standardized guardrails and workflows

Operations

  • Structured path to automate SOPs and documents
  • Clear guidance on which tasks are ready for AI

Risk and Compliance

  • Governance maturity score
  • Safety and audit readiness roadmap

How the AI Maturity Model Works in Simple Terms

A complete maturity assessment evaluates six dimensions.

1

Strategy

Clarity on goals, priorities, ownership, and business alignment.

2

Data and Knowledge

Quality of documents, chunking, embeddings, vector search, and access controls.

3

Models and Infrastructure

Use of LLMs, SLMs, OSS models, routing, and platform readiness.

4

Governance and Security

Guardrails, policies, redaction, compliance, and monitoring.

5

Use Case Delivery

Speed and reliability of delivering AI workflows and agents.

6

People and Skills

AI product managers, engineers, governance staff, and ops teams.

Each dimension is scored to determine the maturity stage.

The Five Stages of AI Maturity

Enterprises progress through five stages as they mature their AI capabilities.

Stage 1 Awareness: AI viewed as experimentation with no clear strategy
Stage 2 Adoption: Teams adopt AI for a few functions like sales, support, or marketing
Stage 3 Acceleration: AI becomes company wide with shared architecture and governance
Stage 4 Scale: AI supports multiple business functions with reliability and governance
Stage 5 AI Native Enterprise: AI is embedded into every workflow as part of the operating model

The maturity model becomes a long term guide for enterprise AI transformation.
