Published Date
AI is the fastest-moving market opportunity in decades. Analysts project the global AI market to exceed $600 billion by 2028. Enterprises everywhere are racing to deploy it, yet most stay stuck at the pilot stage. In fact, MIT’s GenAI Divide report found that 95% of AI pilots fail. The main reasons are outdated systems, weak governance, and priorities that don’t match daily business needs.
This is the gap Indicium’s AI Readiness Assessment closes. In three minutes, discover your organization’s AI maturity stage and receive a complete roadmap to scale AI with measurable impact.
From Ambition to Reality
Everyone wants AI. Few are ready to scale it. Indicium’s 2025 AI Readiness Survey shows 74% of IT leaders see AI as critical to their future. Yet less than half have production deployments, and only 20% reach scaled adoption. The main blockers are poor data quality (41%), legacy integration challenges (38%), and lack of in-house expertise (33%).
The survey highlights the gap between AI goals and the foundations to support them. In financial services, 52% of firms reported outdated or aging infrastructure, compared to 44% across other industries. Before modernization, 92% of FSI leaders admitted their infrastructure was not state-of-the-art.
At the same time, the market keeps moving. Also in financial services, 67% of firms already run AI in production across multiple departments. Yet nearly half still admit they are not ready to fully leverage data for AI due to quality and governance issues.
Enterprises that modernize infrastructure, improve governance, and invest in training achieve a 94% success rate in AI projects. Those who act now scale faster, capture value sooner, and set the pace in their industries. Those who wait face higher costs and weaker returns.

The assessment turns ambition into action. It delivers quick answers and a clear long-term strategy that shows where to invest, how to speed up impact, and what it takes to unlock AI at scale.
The Four AI Readiness Stages
Every company falls somewhere along the AI maturity curve. The assessment framework defines four distinct stages:
1. Exploratory: Early experiments, scattered leadership buy-in, and first modernization efforts. The focus must be to build the foundation: align leadership, modernize data, and launch small-scale tests.
2. Emerging: Initial pilots show promise. Governance and modernization are underway, but adoption remains limited. ROI depends on clear use-case priorities, stronger internal skills, and a more advanced data foundation.
3. Integrated: AI becomes part of business workflows. A modern platform and governance framework support trust and consistency. The challenge: scale adoption across departments.
4. Scaled: AI is a core business capability. Proprietary models, R&D, and AI agents create differentiation. Companies here lead their markets through enterprise-wide adoption and continuous innovation.
Knowing your stage is the first step. Advancing it is how you build competitive advantage.
Turn AI Potential Into Execution
AI is the biggest opportunity of the decade, but most enterprises never move past pilots. Outdated systems, poor governance, fragmented priorities, and limited internal expertise block progress.
Readiness determines who wins. Companies that modernize, improve governance, and build skills move from pilots to production, from tests to results, from goals to market leadership. They accelerate value, reduce risk, and stay ahead of competitors.
