Implementation · The Champions Readiness Scan · free result
Is your organisation ready for AI champions — before you appoint them?
18 questions, 8 minutes. Most champion programmes fail on conditions, not on people: no sponsor, no hours, no measurement. This scan scores the six conditions before you start — or shows a running programme where it leaks. Free, scored on screen straight away.
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.
jump in change success once a champion network is in place. The model works — when the conditions do.
Prosci research
per week of formally allocated time keeps a champion alive. “Find the time yourself” is how programmes die.
Practitioner working ratios
is where programmes without structure sag: no hours, no rhythm, no measurement, and the day job wins.
Documented failure pattern
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.
How it works
18 questions across six readiness conditions, written for the people who own the champions file: L&D, HR, transformation, the C-suite.

What the scan measures
Six conditions decide whether champions carry adoption or burn out trying.
SSponsorship. A named sponsor who uses AI, is seen, and clears barriers.
CChampion pipeline. Volunteers, not appointees: trusted connectors from multiple functions, sceptics included.
TTime & mandate. Formal hours per week, a clear role, anchored in goals and reviews.
GGovernance & AI Act. Approved tools, safe-use rules, and an Article 4 literacy plan that outlives a course.
RRecognition & community. Visible recognition, a monthly rhythm, a channel of their own.
MMeasurement. 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.
