From quick wins to sustainable value creation

AI Maturity Assessment: Your Foundation for a Successful AI Strategy

Artificial intelligence has arrived at many companies, but few succeed in moving from individual use cases to sustainable value creation. The financial benefits remain limited, as AI initiatives are implemented in isolation and without an overarching strategic direction. With our AI Maturity Assessment, you will gain a clear overview and can determine your current AI maturity level. Lufthansa Industry Solutions (LHIND) will help you identify potential and define concrete steps to embed AI strategically and implement scalable solutions.

Artificial Intelligence: From Cost Factor to Value Driver

Ever since large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude have become widely available, many companies have experimented with a wide range of generative AI applications. It has become clear that companies need a central strategy to consolidate initiatives, prevent uncontrolled growth, and standardize their tool landscapes. Our AI Readiness Check provides everything required for this:

Structure Instead of AI Chaos

Gain an overview of isolated AI use cases, prevent parallel projects, and start strategically managing AI initiatives across your company.

Learn from Best Practices

Nicht jedes Problem müssen Sie allein lösen – für viele Use Cases gibt es bereits bewährte Best Practices, die Sie für Ihr Unternehmen adaptieren können.

Prioritize Initiatives 

Identify which use cases deliver measurable business value and where investments have the biggest impact.

From Pilot Phase to Scaling

According to studies, most AI applications do not progress beyond the pilot phase. Define clear responsibilities and structures that allow your company to use AI sustainably.

Set Out Your Target Vision

Establish the AI maturity level that is appropriate and realistic for your company – and which steps are required to achieve it.

Benefits of the AI Maturity Assessment
  • Structured evaluation of data, technologies, processes, and organization
  • In-depth assessment of your current AI maturity level as the basis for decision-making
  • Visibility into the areas with the greatest potential for value creation
  • Prioritized initiatives with measurable business impact
  • Guidance for investments and next steps
  • Concrete recommendations for action & implementation roadmap for the next 6 to 12 months
  • Solid basis for your AI strategy
During the AI Maturity Assessment, we will analyze where your company stands in each of the eight dimensions and then work together in a workshop to determine which target should be achieved in each area.

How Exactly Does the AI Maturity Assessment Work?

In a one-day workshop with key stakeholders from your company, we will determine your current AI maturity level together using an approach based on the latest scientific studies. We will conduct a comprehensive analysis of your organization across eight dimensions, which cover not only technological aspects but also organizational and strategic aspects. The results will be compared against tried-and-tested best practices.

Each dimension can be considered independently, so that individual next best actions can be defined for each dimension and level. The aim is not to achieve the highest level in each dimension, but rather to provide a realistic estimate of a company’s short-term, medium-term, and long-term potential.

You will get a clear picture of how data is currently being used, what AI initiatives already exist, and where there are challenges and development potential. Based on this assessment, we will then develop concrete recommendations for action – from quick wins that can be implemented in the short term to a long-term roadmap for your AI transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions on the AI Maturity Assessment (FAQs)

The AI maturity level describes how systematically and effectively artificial intelligence is being used in a company – from initial experiments to strategic value creation. A clear overview helps with targeted investments and sustainable AI use.

The analysis assesses the current status of your organization across key dimensions such as data, technologies, processes, organization, and governance. It highlights strengths, weaknesses, and specific development opportunities.

The AI Maturity Assessment is suitable for all companies that want to consolidate isolated AI initiatives and develop a central AI strategy. The maturity analysis is especially relevant to companies that have no central AI and data unit or that do not have sufficient AI expertise.

The AI Maturity Assessment involves a one-day workshop with key stakeholders from all departments who have an overview of data usage, business processes, and corporate culture. Following the workshop, optional one-on-one interviews can be conducted for a more in-depth assessment.

The core of the assessment takes place in a compact workshop format and is often supplemented by preparatory and follow-up work. Depending on the scope, the entire process can last from a few days to a few weeks.

The assessment can be conducted flexibly, either remotely or in person, depending on your requirements and the composition of the stakeholders. Based on past experience, an in-person workshop is more effective.
