Why AI readiness matters as adoption scales
Fragmented AI adoption
- Different tools across teams
- Inconsistent AI practices
- Growing shadow AI
- Limited cross-team visibility
Governance & risk gaps
- Unclear data handling
- Inconsistent AI governance
- Undefined accountability
- Security and compliance risks
Unclear business value
- AI spend without clear returns
- Unprioritized use cases
- Limited success metrics
- Unclear AI ROI
A quick AI readiness check: Can you answer “yes” to these five questions?
01 — Do your teams access AI through approved company accounts rather than personal ones?
02 — Do you have clear rules for what may and may not be shared with AI tools?
03 — Is human review required before AI-generated code is merged?
04 — Do teams have a shared library of approved prompts, agents, or context files?
05 — Do you know what you spend on AI each month by team?

AI strategy assessment services from discovery to implementation planning
1
AI adoption discovery
The engagement starts with a clear view of how AI is already being used across your organization. Our team maps existing tools, workflows, use cases, and adoption patterns to uncover fragmented practices, capability gaps, and opportunities for more coordinated AI adoption.
2
Maturity assessment
Rather than reducing the organization to a single maturity score, Globaldev assesses individual business and engineering functions. Current capabilities, processes, skills, tooling, and controls are evaluated to show where each function stands today and what is needed to progress.
3
Use case identification
Potential AI use cases are explored across relevant business and engineering workflows and assessed against expected value, technical feasibility, implementation effort, risk, and organizational readiness. The result is a focused set of opportunities that can then be prioritized for further investment and implementation.
4
Architecture audit
A technical review of the existing environment helps determine whether it can support the AI initiatives under consideration. Our specialists examine systems, integrations, data flows, infrastructure, dependencies, and architectural constraints to identify gaps that should be addressed before implementation.
5
Security & compliance review
Security and compliance considerations are assessed in the context of how AI will actually be used. This includes data handling, access controls, privacy, intellectual property, security requirements, human oversight, and existing controls, resulting in practical requirements for safer AI adoption.
6
Adoption roadmap
Assessment findings are translated into a structured AI adoption roadmap with clear priorities, dependencies, ownership, implementation sequence, timelines, and success criteria. It gives stakeholders a practical path from the current state to the initiatives selected for implementation.
7
Executive AI strategy workshops
Business and technology leaders are brought together to align on opportunities, priorities, risks, investment decisions, and expected outcomes. Facilitated by Globaldev experts, the workshop helps establish shared direction and connect individual initiatives with the broader enterprise AI strategy.
8
Model selection
The choice of AI models and technologies is driven by the requirements of prioritized use cases rather than by technology preferences. Globaldev evaluates relevant options against capabilities, integration requirements, security, cost, performance, and the existing technical environment.
9
Business case
For prioritized initiatives, the expected business value is considered alongside implementation costs, ongoing investment, risks, and measurable success criteria. The resulting AI business case gives decision-makers a practical basis for determining what should be piloted, funded, scaled, or reconsidered.
10
Center of Excellence planning
Where more centralized AI capabilities are needed, the assessment can inform the structure and operating model of an AI Center of Excellence. Globaldev helps define responsibilities, governance, standards, knowledge-sharing practices, and reusable approaches for coordinating AI initiatives across the organization.

Our AI readiness assessment framework
A structured 3–4-week engagement that turns the current state of AI adoption into clear priorities and an actionable implementation plan.
Understand: Build the current-state picture
We start by understanding how AI is currently used and the business and engineering context behind it.
- Interviews, questionnaires, and workshops with relevant stakeholders.
- Review of existing tools, workflows, processes, documentation, and available data.
Assess: Evaluate readiness and maturity
Our team analyzes the factors that determine your organization's ability to adopt and scale AI effectively.
- Assessment of AI usage, SDLC practices, architecture, security, governance, costs, skills, and adoption.
- Identification of capability gaps, risks, inconsistencies, and areas with potential for improvement.
Prioritize: Focus on the right AI opportunities
Findings are translated into a focused set of opportunities based on where AI can deliver value.
- AI use case prioritization based on value, feasibility, implementation effort, risk, and readiness.
- Clear priorities for initiatives worth piloting, implementing, scaling, or reconsidering.
Design & plan: Create the path to implementation
The selected priorities are converted into a plan that connects strategic decisions with execution.
- A structured AI transformation roadmap covering initiatives, sequencing, dependencies, ownership, and timelines.
- Defined success metrics and next steps to guide implementation and measure progress.

“AI strategy should lead to decisions you can actually execute. We focus investment on opportunities that make business sense, build the business case around them, and turn those priorities into a practical roadmap.”

Your AI readiness & strategy
Let’s explore your AI priorities and define the right next steps for implementation.
What happens next
Start with a focused conversation. Move forward only when it makes sense.
01 — Free readiness consultation
A 90-minute session with the stakeholders responsible for AI, engineering, or technology strategy. We discuss your current AI adoption, existing practices, priorities, and key challenges to establish an initial view of where you stand and where further assessment could bring value.
02 — Scoping call
If you decide to continue, we use a focused 30-minute call to shape the engagement around your organization. Together, we define the assessment scope, relevant business and engineering functions, key stakeholders, priorities, and expected outcomes so the work is focused on what matters most.
03 — Proposal
You receive a clearly scoped proposal outlining the assessment approach, activities, deliverables, timeline, and fixed price. This gives your team a transparent view of the engagement before making a decision and establishes a clear path toward the assessment and subsequent implementation planning.
From AI strategy to execution
Turn your AI roadmap into action with the expertise needed to implement, govern, adopt, and continuously improve your AI initiatives.
