Company AI Readiness Assessment | The Channel Advisors
The Channel Advisors Company AI Readiness Diagnostic
This is not a quick survey. This is an organizational diagnostic for leaders who want the truth about where their company stands with AI and where the real barriers live. Plan for 30 to 45 minutes.

Is Your Organization Ready for AI?
This diagnostic goes deeper than a typical assessment. Part one scores your organization across four dimensions. Part two evaluates each department individually. Part three captures the current state of AI in your organization. Parts four and five ask you to write honestly about culture, change readiness, and organizational dynamics.
The open text sections are where the real value lives. Do not rush them. If you are on a phone or tablet, use your device's speech to text feature and talk through your answers. You will say more than you would ever type, and the detail is what makes your report valuable.
When you finish, you will receive a full organizational intelligence report: quantitative scores, department by department analysis, cultural assessment, and strategic recommendations tailored to what you told us.

Part 3: Current State
AI in Your Organization Today

Part 4: Culture and Change Readiness
The Human Side of AI Adoption
Technology is the easy part. Culture is what determines whether AI actually takes hold. Take your time here.
Tip: These questions deserve real answers. Use speech to text and talk through your responses. The more honest and specific you are, the more valuable your report will be.
Culture 1 of 8
Describe how your leadership team has responded to AI so far. Not what they have said in meetings. What have they actually done?

Think about the last major technology change your organization went through. How long did it take from decision to full adoption? What resistance did you encounter and how was it handled?

If you gave every employee in your company unrestricted access to AI tools tomorrow, what would happen? Who would thrive? Who would resist? Why?

Part 5: Organizational Dynamics
How Your Organization Makes Decisions and Handles Change
These questions surface the dynamics that determine whether new technology succeeds or dies inside your walls.
Tip: You are almost done. These last eight questions are the ones that separate a generic report from one that actually helps you make decisions. Give them the time they deserve.
Dynamics 1 of 8
If a tool could observe how your employees actually work, not what they report but what they actually do, and show you the gap between documented processes and reality, how would your leadership team react? How would your employees react?
Dynamics 2 of 8
Every organization has processes or systems that everyone knows are broken but nobody is allowed to change. What is yours?
Dynamics 3 of 8
How transparent is your leadership team with employees about business challenges and performance gaps? When something is not working, how does the organization find out?
Dynamics 4 of 8
Has your organization ever brought in an outside firm to evaluate how work actually gets done? What happened with the findings?
Dynamics 5 of 8
How would your employees react if they learned the company was deploying a tool that observes desktop workflow activity to identify inefficiencies? What concerns would they raise?
Dynamics 6 of 8
If you found a tool that could demonstrably save your organization 2.5 hours of productivity per employee per day, what would the approval process look like to deploy it? Who would need to say yes and how long would it take?
Dynamics 7 of 8
What is the single biggest competitive threat your organization faces in the next 12 months? Is AI part of that threat?
Dynamics 8 of 8
Describe a time your organization tried to change a core process. What happened? How long did it take? What did you learn about how your company handles change?
