Executive AI Readiness Assessment
Booking Page
Know Exactly Where Your Organization Stands. In 48 Hours.
You Can't Fix What You Can't See
Most organizations deploying AI don't know what they don't know.
They invest in platforms, run pilots, and hire vendors — without ever establishing an honest, independent baseline of their operational readiness. The result is predictable: 95% of AI pilots deliver zero measurable P&L impact.
Not because the technology failed. Because the organization wasn't ready for it.
Before you commit capital, operational dependency, or leadership credibility to any AI initiative, you need to know precisely where you stand.
That is what the Executive AI Readiness Assessment delivers.
A Precise Diagnostic. Not a Generic Report.
The Executive AI Readiness Assessment is a structured SONAR™ diagnostic — 30 questions, 90 points — that maps your organization across the five dimensions that determine whether AI implementation succeeds or fails.
S — Strategic Leadership: Executive alignment, board visibility, governance ownership
O — Operational Data: Data quality, structure, and machine-readability
N — Normalized Operations: Workflow consistency and process documentation
A — Aligned People: Workforce readiness and change capacity
R — Risk & Compliance: Cybersecurity posture, NERC CIP, regulatory exposure
What's Included.
Step 1 — Complete the SONAR™ Assessment: Immediately upon purchase, you receive the SONAR™ Assessment — a structured 30-question diagnostic designed to be completed by your leadership team before the Discovery Call.
Step 2 — 90-Minute Discovery Call with David Walters: A direct, principal-led session with David Walters — reviewing your SONAR™ findings, identifying your highest-priority gaps, and mapping the specific actions your organization needs to take first.
No junior consultants. No slide decks. A straight conversation with someone who has operated in mission-critical environments and knows what operational readiness actually looks like.
Step 3 — Executive Brief Delivered Within 48 Hours: A structured executive brief — your dimensional SONAR™ score, prioritized findings, and a recommended remediation sequence calibrated to your specific starting point.
Formatted for your leadership team and board. Actionable from day one.
Fully Credited. Zero Risk.
The $5,000 Executive AI Readiness Assessment fee is fully credited
against the 90-Day AI Implementation Fast Start Sprint ($45,000) if you proceed.
For organizations that go on to engage at the Sprint level, the assessment costs nothing.
For those that need clarity before committing, it is the most valuable $5,000 your leadership team will spend on AI this year.
This Is For You If...
