AI Maturity Diagnostic Tool

Kellogg CMM Framework

Assess your organization's AI maturity using the AI Capability Maturity Model (CMM)framework developed by the Kellogg School of Management. This diagnostic tool evaluates your capabilities across six critical dimensions—customization level, AI expertise, use cases, data needs, ROI focus, and AI infrastructure—mapped against four maturity stages: Crawl, Walk, Run, and Fly.

Prof Keith Carter's Insight

Using the maturity model to decide what type of AI solution to provide is critical—organizations with the right maturity in these areas have a much higher chance of AI project success.
