An AI Governance Assessment that tells you where you stand.


Hi Reader,

Thank you for being part of the AI Career Pro journey. It means a lot to us.

We wanted to let you know that we've just released a new AI Governance Assessment tool. It's free, and takes only 15 minutes to help you assess your capability as a practitioner alongside the governance capacity of your organization. You get your results emailed with tailored recommendations and an analysis of where you stand relative to peers in your region and industry. We built the assessment to help you figure out the next best steps on your journey.

You can try the free assessment out here: AI Governance Assessment

I've just published an article explaining the full framework: what each dimension measures, how the maturity levels work, and why the shape of your score matters more than the total. You can read that here:

Article: Are you ready to govern AI?

Now you might see we also just released information on our Specialty courses (including small-group live coaching), our Enterprise Coaching offer and the journey to a Master Practitioner Award. We'll have much more to share on all of that next week, but if you're curious, you can read more about them on our website.

For now, we invite you to take the assessment. And do let us know what you think. Your feedback makes all the difference.
