A rapid diagnostic that measures workforce AI capability and responsible use - the baseline you need to upskill and scale AI at pace.

For many organisations, AI promises growth, productivity and new ways of working. Turning that potential into enterprise-wide impact depends on something more fundamental than technology - your people. Most organisations still don't have a clear picture of how confidently their workforce applies AI in practice. Without that visibility, investment is hard to prioritise and adoption is hard to scale. 

That's where we can help. AI Skills Scanner is our rapid, data-driven diagnostic. It gives you a clear view of workforce AI capability - from practical skills to responsible use - and the fact base you need to act. 

What AI Skills Scanner measures

AI Skills Scanner assesses capability across two streams: how your people use AI, and how they build with it. It uses scenario-based questions that adapt to each person's responses, so the assessment meets people where they are. It maps everyone across four levels: foundational (aware of AI, but not yet using it), emerging (starting to use AI for everyday tasks), practicing (using AI regularly and effectively) and fluent (using AI with skill and judgement, and helping others do the same). It also measures how confidently and responsibly people apply AI, because capability isn't just about speed, it's about judgement. 

Workforce capability profiles

Competency analysis

A breakdown of strengths and gaps, so you know exactly where to focus. 

Responsible use assessment

Insight into how confidently and responsibly your people apply AI. 

Targeted recommendations

Practical next steps to build the skills that matter most.

Transformation potential

Fast, confidential, actionable

The assessment takes each person just 10–15 minutes to complete. It's anonymous and confidential, with results reported at aggregate level. You get reliable, actionable data on your AI capability profile within a few weeks, from deployment to detailed results.

From guesswork to precision

AI Skills Scanner turns AI enablement from guesswork into precision targeting. Instead of rolling out generic training, you can:

  • Focus your investment where it matters most - the roles and business units with the greatest opportunity to uplift
  • Build on existing strengths - use pockets of higher capability as internal champions and peer coaches
  • Address responsible-use patterns proactively - spot and mitigate concerns before they become issues
  • Track progress over time - set a baseline and measure the return on your capability investments through reassessment

The results inform everything from training design and governance frameworks to pilot selection and leadership development. You'll know where to start, how to sequence interventions, and when your workforce is ready for more advanced AI.

Why it matters

Implementing AI successfully isn't just about technology, it's about people. AI Skills Scanner reflects our philosophy: real, data-backed insight is the key to accelerating workforce transformation. And we don't stop at analysis. We bring deep workforce transformation and AI experience to help you turn insight into action - and scale AI in ways that align to your strategy, protect trust and unlock lasting value.
