AI compass
From experiment to habit. Where you stand today and what your next step is.
AI is probably already at work in your company, but not equally strong everywhere and not with everyones. The AI Compass shows where AI has become a habit in daily work and where it is still stuck in isolated experiments. You also see where your people are further along than what the organisation makes possible for them today.
A fixed measurement, a conclusion that is only about you
The AI Compass is the baseline our engagements start from. The questionnaire and the maturity model are fixed; what you take away is the picture of your own organisation, per domain and per audience.
The pressure to "do something with ai", without a view on what is already happening
Many organisations feel pressure to do something with AI but have no clear view on their own readiness, the risks, or the priorities. Initiatives then start separately, without direction.
AI initiatives rarely fail because of technology. They fail when leadership, IT, and the teams start from a different picture of the starting position.
Meanwhile risks around data, compliance, and ownership stay invisible, and investments are made too early, or too late.
four steps, two to three weeks
Preparation
We align on scope, participants, and context together. You decide who answers.
Assessment
Leadership, IT, and employees each complete the same online questionnaire, 15 to 20 minutes of work. That way we measure the organisation and the person separately.
Analysis and visualisation
The answers are consolidated into a maturity profile per domain, with the gap between person and organisation made visible.
Direction
You receive three priorities and your most relevant next step within the CROPLAND AI Framework, with an owner and a deadline per priority.
Everything to make the first decision on solid ground
Format, participants, and lead time
Not an audit on the floor, but a questionnaire your people complete themselves, whenever it suits them.
The same questions for all three groups. The gap between their answers is exactly what starts the conversation.
From aligning on scope to the management report and the discussion of the three priorities.
Why this is a first step and not an end point
The AI Compass is a paid engagement that your key people invest time in. That is deliberate: it is what makes depth, neutrality, and actionable conclusions possible instead of generic advice.
After the measurement you decide yourself whether to continue. Every next step in the framework is a separate choice.

Not a score, but three priorities.
You see where AI is already a habit, where your people are further along than what the organisation makes possible for them today, and which three steps take priority now, each with an owner. The same measurement can be repeated a year later, so you see what has changed.
Unstructured in, structured into the ERP, following the same pattern. The building block is reusable across clients and sectors; only your rules and tolerance margins differ.
The questions that always come back
Because this is not a questionnaire you fill in yourself and get a score from. Your key people invest time, and you receive a management report with three priorities and an owner per priority. That is exactly what a free scan does not do.
That is precisely when it helps. The measurement also shows where your people already work with AI themselves without the organisation supporting it. That is usually the most surprising part of the report.
No. You decide yourself whether to take a next step. The report is usable without a follow-up: it names your three priorities and who picks them up.
