AI Readiness in Practice: Identifying Competency Gaps and Guiding Investment

AI is changing how enterprises operate, but most organizations are still wrestling with the fundamentals, such as fragmented capabilities, uneven skills, unclear ownership, and no common language for measuring progress. In this session, IIA CEO Jack Phillips will walk through how leading companies are assessing and strengthening their AI readiness using IIA’s family of diagnostic tools. He’ll break down what “AI-ready” truly means at the enterprise, organizational, and individual-contributor levels, and share where companies are getting stuck and what separates top performers. D&A leaders will leave with a clearer understanding of how to build alignment, establish a repeatable measurement cadence, and use data-driven insights to guide investment and accelerate AI impact.

You’ll learn:

  • How to evaluate AI readiness across the three critical organizational layers, and why capability gaps often sit in different places than leaders expect.
  • What IIA’s 30,000+ survey dataset reveals about common barriers to AI adoption and the practices that correlate with stronger performance.
  • How to use AI readiness assessments to create an actionable roadmap, build cross-enterprise alignment, and drive momentum for your AI initiatives.
