Capability Readiness Assessment

Score whether capability work is ready to produce measurable performance.

Use ten questions to identify maturity band, top risk, recommended next step, and advisory path.

Direct Answer

How does the assessment work?

Rate each condition from one to five. The total places the organization in Activity, Program, System, or Enterprise Capability maturity.

Ten-Question Score

Rate each condition from 1 to 5.

One means mostly absent. Five means consistently governed and evidenced.

1. Business outcomes are explicit before capability work begins.
2. The first capability constraint is clear before investment scales.
3. Leaders know who owns reinforcement after launch.
4. Managers have a practical role in sustaining behavior change.
5. AI adoption is mapped to role fluency and workflow use cases.
6. Risk, governance, and responsible-use expectations are visible.
7. Learning or enablement work is connected to work conditions.
8. Evidence is defined before launch, not after reporting begins.
9. Dashboards show decision evidence, not only activity.
10. Executive governance reviews progress and adjusts action.
