Why check first

Every organisation is building a champions team right now. Most sag within six months — not because of the people, but because of the conditions: no hours, no mandate, no proof it worked.

There is a legal angle too. Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires AI literacy across your workforce, and the Dutch regulator (AP) reads that as a multi-year plan, not a one-off course. A champions network is the most credible way to run that plan — if it is built to last.

What the scan measures

Six conditions decide whether champions carry adoption or burn out trying.

S

Sponsorship

A named sponsor who uses AI, is seen, and clears barriers.

C

Champion pipeline

Volunteers, not appointees: trusted connectors from multiple functions, sceptics included.

T

Time & mandate

Formal hours per week, a clear role, anchored in goals and reviews.

G

Governance & AI Act

Approved tools, safe-use rules, and an Article 4 literacy plan that outlives a course.

R

Recognition & community

Visible recognition, a monthly rhythm, a channel of their own.

M

Measurement

A baseline, adoption metrics that track behaviour, and a 90-day re-score.

18 questions, about 8 minutes. Your score appears straight away — no report to buy.
