Are you leaning back comfortably in your desk chair dreaming about all that progress with the new AI tools that your company just bought? Well, we hate to break it to you, but somebody had to do it.
Take this Test. Answer honestly. No one’s watching (except your delusional self who thinks AI is the genie who can magically transform your workplace while most of your team remain clueless of the magic lamp)
1: The Skills Gap Reality Check
If your AI tools stopped working tomorrow, could your team complete their work at 80%+ efficiency without them?
- Yes – We use AI as an enhancement, not a crutch
- Somewhat – We’d struggle but manage eventually
- No – We’d be paralyzed without AI doing the heavy lifting
What this reveals: Whether you’ve built genuine capability or just dependency.
2: The Productivity Paradox
Are your employees spending MORE time fixing AI mistakes than they saved by using it in the first place?
- No – AI genuinely saves us time because people use it correctly
- Sometimes – It’s about break-even right now
- Yes – We’re in “garbage in, garbage out” territory
3: The Million Dollar question
Have you provided structured AI training—or just sent people a link to ChatGPT and said “go explore”?
- Structured training – Proper courses with practical applications
- Basic intro – A webinar or two, then self-directed
- Wing-it approach – “Figure it out yourself” is our strategy
4: The Confidence Crisis
When employees hit an AI roadblock, do they know how to solve it—or do they just give up and go back to the old way?
- They problem-solve – Training gave them troubleshooting skills
- Hit or miss – Some people persist, most revert
- They give up – Adoption is stalling because confidence is low
5: The “Ask IT” Bottleneck
Is your IT/tech team constantly interrupted with basic AI questions that employees should be able to handle themselves?
- Rarely – Our people are self-sufficient with AI tools
- Sometimes – There’s still a fair amount of hand-holding
- Constantly – IT is drowning in basic support requests
6: The ROI Reality Check
Can you confidently say your AI investment is paying off—or are you spending money on tools that sit unused or misused?
- Yes – Clear productivity gains and adoption metrics
- Unclear – We’re using AI but can’t quantify the impact
- No – Low adoption, wasted licenses, minimal impact
Did your AI magic lamp just turn into a broken flashlight after this readiness test?
We know those brutal scores just knocked you off that chair. If the poor score got you defensive, it’s because most of you are just pretending to be AI-ready.
- Your team can’t work magic with tools they don’t even get.
- If your leaders think “AI is IT’s problem,” your ship’s already off course.
- Outdated skills and new tech? That’s like pairing a typewriter with ChatGPT.
- You’re busy guessing, not growing
For those who scored mid, you have the tools and the strategy. But you can’t maximize the output. You’re getting 30% of the value for 100% of the cost. You are not channelling your AI strategy into upskilling.
Now that we are done with the bitter part, it’s time to channel that panic into action.
Some of your competitors might’ve aced this test.
Same tools? Sure.
But that’s not it, they also invested in upskilling their people to actually use those tools.
Now they’ve got the right infrastructure, the know-how to run it, and the leadership to back it up.
What are they doing different from you?
They are building sustainable capability, not just buying into trends.
You need comprehensive upskilling programs that will turn your team from confused to confident were you get
- Hands on practical applications
- Role specific learning modules
- Measurable training models
- Leadership training
Stop Pretending. Start Preparing
It’s time to come out of the delusion that your team is AI-ready.
What you need to take away from this test is that the gap between where you are and where you need to be isn’t as wide as you think—if you take action now.
