What is AI Maturity?
AI maturity measures how effectively your organisation adopts, integrates, and scales artificial intelligence across strategy, people, processes, and governance. It goes beyond whether you use AI tools and examines whether AI is creating real, measurable business value.
Most New Zealand organisations are in the early stages of their AI journey. While 91% of AI adopters report efficiency gains, only 12% have scaled AI enterprise-wide. Understanding where you sit on the maturity curve is the first step toward closing that gap.
Cairn Compass uses a 5-level maturity model, from Aware (recognising AI potential) through to Transforming (AI driving new business models). Each level builds on the last, and the assessment identifies exactly where to focus for maximum impact.
