Department Pilot
Can we prove this works in one place first?
Who asks
The department head asks for this one, generally after being told an AI program is coming and preferring to find out what it does to their own team's work before it arrives everywhere at once.
What we look at
One department is scored first, at the level of the people doing the work rather than the manager's account of it. We look at what that department actually spends its time on, which tasks are candidates for AI and which are not, and what each role would have to learn before the answer changes. Training runs against that, and then the same assessment is taken again and dated. The value sits in the pair of readings, so keeping the second one honest gets as much attention as producing it.
What you get
Key deliverables
- Two dated readings of the organization's score, before and after the work
- The training path that ran between them, recorded alongside
What this does not cover
One department's result is one department's result. It reads that team under its own conditions and does not stand in for an organizational score, which comes from the Readiness Baseline run across every department in scope. A pilot also does not settle whether a tool should be approved for wider use. That decision belongs to the approval process written under Governance Setup, and the pilot gives it evidence to work from.
What lands in the platform
Both assessments are taken at department level, and each score is dated and computed across every assessment in the organization, so the movement between the two readings is a fact in the record rather than a claim in a slide. The score itself is one figure for the organization rather than a departmental one, so the pair of dated readings is what carries the result. The roadmap that ran in between stays in the platform with each item carrying its phase and its category, training among them, which is what lets a later reader see what was actually done between the two scores. Any gap closed along the way carries the name of whoever marked it addressed.
Next step
Pick the department where the work is most repetitive and the manager is most skeptical, and we will score that one first.
