People & ownership

AI adoption fails when nobody owns it.

  • One named person owns AI for the organization.
  • Leadership has stated a position on AI, even a provisional one.
  • We know which staff and volunteers already use AI tools, and for what.
  • At least one staff member has had hands-on AI training in the last year.
  • Someone on the team is curious enough to run a pilot.

How to read your score

0–10 · Start with policy and trainingYou are exposed today, mostly through data. A one-page policy and one training session fix most of it in a month.
11–20 · Ready to pilotFoundations exist. Pick one repeated workflow, run a four-week pilot with a human in the loop, and measure hours saved.
21–30 · Ready to buildYou can support a custom agent or automation. Scope the first build around the workflow with the clearest input, output, and owner.
