AI ORGANISATIONAL READINESS ASSESSMENT

Turn your AI investments into measurable business performance

Launching first in New Zealand

Building the Best Places to Work in the Age of AI

AI readiness challenges are not unique to New Zealand, but the impact here is felt faster and more directly, with smaller organisations, flatter structures, and tighter resources leaving less room for misalignment. Developed in partnership with Best Places to Work™, one of New Zealand’s most established workplace assessment and continuous improvement programmes, AI ORA™ builds on over 25 years’ experience measuring employee sentiment, organisational alignment, and performance at scale. BPTW™ brings a proven, people-first approach to understanding whether your organisation is ready to make AI work in practice across your team.

Built for leaders

The state of play

The AI Value Opportunity

AI investment is accelerating, but it's unevenly placed. Most funding flows into technology, not the conditions that make it work, leading to slow adoption, missed value, and lost opportunity.
