Communications Team AI Readiness Diagnostic

Who Should Use This Diagnostic

You're in the right place if:

You're a Communications Director or Team Leader feeling the squeeze of doing more with less. Your team is stretched thin, leadership is asking about AI, and you need to figure out where to start without getting overwhelmed by technology hype.

You're Managing Multi-Market Communications across Africa, the Middle East, or emerging markets where cultural context matters and Western-trained AI tools don't always get the nuance right.

You're Curious But Cautious about AI. Maybe your team is experimenting with ChatGPT or Copilot, but there's no systematic approach. Or maybe there's skepticism about quality and ethics. You want to understand what's actually possible before committing resources.

You've Been Handed the AI Mandate by leadership but aren't sure how to translate "integrate AI" into concrete action for your communications function.

Your Team Is Drowning in Volume. You're managing press releases, internal announcements, social content, executive communications, and stakeholder messaging—and everyone wants everything faster without sacrificing quality.

You're Operating at Different Speeds Across Markets. Maintaining consistency across regions, languages, and cultural contexts is getting harder, and you suspect AI could help but don't know how to preserve the local authenticity that matters.

You're Trying to Prove ROI. You need to build a business case for AI investment in your communications function, and you need data on what's actually achievable—not vendor promises.

You're Planning for Growth and know your current model won't scale. Whether it's a new market launch, merger communications, or expanding your team's remit, you're looking for force multipliers.

Common Situations Where This Diagnostic Helps:

• Before Your Next Budget Conversation: Come prepared with a clear assessment of where AI investment would have the highest impact for your team.

• When Your Team Is Divided on AI: Some people are excited, others are worried about job security or quality concerns. The diagnostic provides a neutral framework for discussing what AI adoption could actually look like.

• After a Failed AI Experiment: You tried implementing ChatGPT or another tool, it didn't stick, and now you need a more systematic approach.

• When You're Comparing Vendors or Solutions: Before committing to enterprise AI tools or consulting engagements, understand what you actually need first.

• As You Build Your 2025 Capabilities Plan: If "AI readiness" is on your strategic plan but you're not sure what that means operationally, start here.

Not Sure If This Is For You?

The diagnostic takes 10 minutes. If nothing else, you'll get a clearer picture of where your team stands and what questions you should be asking. No obligation, no sales call required—just useful information to help you make better decisions about AI in your communications function.

Understand Your AI Opportunity in Four Simple Steps

If you're a communications professional wondering where AI fits into your work, this diagnostic gives you clarity fast. In about 10 minutes, you'll move from uncertainty to a concrete understanding of what AI implementation could look like for your specific team.

How It Works:

The diagnostic guides you through four conversational stages designed to understand your unique situation:

Stage 1: Your Team Fundamentals We start with the basics—team size, markets you operate in, what AI tools (if any) you're currently using, and your primary communications functions.

Stage 2: Your Challenges & AI Readiness We identify what's not working: Are you struggling with speed? Volume? Quality under pressure? We also assess where your team sits on the AI maturity spectrum—from skeptical to confident.

Stage 3: Real-World Analysis (Optional) Here's where it gets interesting. Share your company name or paste a recent press release, social post, or announcement you've published. We'll analyze it and show you specifically how AI could have streamlined that workflow using our Spark-Scale-Polish framework—with realistic time savings.

Stage 4: Your Personalized Recommendation Based on everything you've shared, you'll receive a clear recommendation on which service pathway makes sense for your team: a half-day workshop, hands-on training, a pilot transformation, or strategic advisory. No pressure—just clarity on next steps, starting with a free 30-minute consultation.

What Makes This Different:

This isn't a generic "Are you AI-ready?" quiz. It's built specifically for communications professionals by people who've worked in corporate affairs, media relations, and strategic communications at CNN, BBC, Sky News, and NBC. We understand the difference between managing a two-person comms team in Nairobi and running a 50-person function for a multinational. The diagnostic reflects that nuance.

If your team operates across Africa, the Middle East, or other non-Western markets, we'll flag how tailored AI implementation addresses the cultural context that generic AI tools often miss.

You'll Walk Away With:

• Clear understanding of your team's AI readiness level

• Concrete example of how AI could improve your actual workflows

• Specific service recommendation matched to where you are now

• No-obligation path to explore further with a free consultation
