Prodactive Smartsheet AI Readiness Diagnostic

AI Readiness Diagnostic

Depending on who you ask, AI is either the answer to everything or a problem waiting to happen. It’s a term that seems to cover such a wide breadth of capabilities one minute, then the next time you look it’s all changed. At the same time exciting, confusing and overwhelming, teasing revolution while fraught with risk.

Whether intentionally or not, the truth is your organisation is almost certainly using AI in some capacity, so ignoring it isn’t an option. Conscious decisions need to be made around adoption strategies and the extent to which it can and will play a part in the way your organisation works, both now and in the years to come. That way you can empower your teams to use it (or not), confident that the boundaries and guard rails are clear.

At Prodactive we’re helping clients cut through the noise around AI and focus on what’s going to be most impactful for them: delivering work more efficiently without sacrificing security. Start by taking our AI Readiness Diagnostic and see how we can help you navigate the hyperbole and get down to what it really means for you.

Five questions. Two minutes. A clear, honest read on where your organisation actually is on AI – not where you'd like to think it is. Most leaders discover the gap between the two is larger than they expected.

The distinction that matters

Most organisations confuse ambient AI with AI adoption

AI note-takers joining your meetings. Copilot tidying your emails. Auto-summaries in your inbox. These are AI features built into tools you already own – they arrived whether you chose them or not. That is not adoption. Real adoption starts when your organisation deliberately applies AI to its own information to answer its own questions.

What this means for you

The Smartsheet opportunity most organisations miss

If your organisation runs on Smartsheet, your project, portfolio, and operational data is already a structured record of how work actually happens. With the right foundations and an AI connector, it stops being something you report from and becomes something you can ask questions of directly – in natural language, in real time. That is the step most organisations haven't taken yet. It is also where the time savings stop being minutes and start being hours.
