Business AI Readiness Checklist

Use this guide to organize a productive conversation. The correct technical decision depends on the environment, business priorities, risk, and service agreement.

Choose measurable use cases

Start with a real bottleneck such as intake, reporting, knowledge retrieval, scheduling, or drafting. Define the expected time, quality, or service improvement.

Review data and permissions

AI can reveal information users can already access. Review SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, email, file shares, identity groups, and oversharing before broad deployment.

Set approved-tool rules

Define which tools, accounts, data classes, prompts, integrations, retention settings, and human reviews are allowed for each use case.

Prepare users and owners

Assign a business owner, technical owner, data owner, and review process. Train users on verification, confidentiality, acceptable use, and escalation.

Measure outcomes and risk

Track adoption, time saved, errors, exceptions, user feedback, security events, and business outcomes. Expand only when the evidence supports it.
