Why guess when you can measure?
Most leaders think they know how their workforce feels about AI. Some assume there’s widespread excitement. Others assume fear of job replacement. The truth usually lives somewhere in between, and guessing wrong can stall adoption before it even gets started.
That’s where the AI/44 Assessment comes in. It’s designed to capture what your team really knows, believes, and needs when it comes to AI. Through individual AI agent-led interviews with your workforce and in-depth discussions with leaders, it turns fuzzy perceptions into hard data.
And the result? A clear picture of where you stand today, and where to focus your strategy tomorrow.
Here are 10 things the AI/44 Assessment will tell you about your workforce and AI.
1. How much your team actually knows about AI
Surface-level experience with ChatGPT isn’t the same as understanding how AI can apply to real work. The AI/44 Assessment shows you the baseline knowledge across your team.
2. Whether they understand AI’s real strengths
Does your team see AI as a magic box or as a practical tool? The AI/44 Assessment highlights where those perceptions align with reality.
3. Where they misunderstand AI’s limitations
AI isn’t great at everything. The assessment uncovers if your people know where not to rely on it, which is critical for safe and effective use.
4. How confident they are in applying AI at work
Even if people know what AI can do, confidence in applying it varies based on experience and attitude. The assessment reveals adoption readiness at a practical level.
5. The barriers holding adoption back
Is it fear of mistakes? Lack of policy? Concerns about job security? The AI/44 Assessment reveals the biggest blockers your team sees.
6. How policies on AI are understood (or not)
Some teams have policies no one can explain. Others have none at all. The assessment shows where clarity is missing.
7. The appetite for coaching and training
Do your people want more guidance? The AI/44 reveals where workshops, playbooks, or upskilling could unlock progress.
8. How ethical AI usage is perceived
Responsible use matters. The assessment measures how well your team grasps the ethical risks and responsibilities.
9. The opportunities they see for AI in workflows
Your team often knows where AI could make the biggest impact. The assessment surfaces these opportunities straight from the people doing the work.
10. Where leadership should focus first
Finally, the AI/44 Assessment combined with our FOCUSED Opportunity Mapping, turns insights into priorities, pointing to where AI adoption is most feasible, aligned, and impactful for your business.
Closing thought
The AI/44 Assessment isn’t just diagnostic. It provides the data to inform our AI-adoption framework, highlighting the knowledge gaps to close, the barriers to address, and the opportunities worth exploring.
Because when it comes to AI, adoption isn’t just about the tech. It’s about your people. And really knowing where they stand is the first step to moving forward.
Make this your one takeaway: Guesswork slows AI adoption. Insight accelerates it.
