The Digital Services AI Maturity Assessment

Every services firm is wrestling with AI. The hard part is honestly assessing where you stand.

The maturity model.

Stage 01
At Risk
0  /  19
Fire alarm
Disengaged from the shift. No CEO ownership, no targets, no production deployment. Runway is shortening every quarter.
Stage 02
Aware
20  /  39
Bottom ~60%
You know AI matters. You haven't acted decisively. The majority of firms sit here or below.
Stage 03
Experimenting
40  /  59
Middle band
Pilots running, tools deployed, AI in the conversation. Delivery and pricing are largely unchanged.
Stage 04
Scaling
60  /  79
Next ~35%
Real AI value showing up in delivery and engagements. Pricing and business model gaps still leak margin.
Stage 05
Future-Built
80  /  100
Top ~5%
BCG's future-built cohort. 2x the revenue growth and 40% greater cost reductions versus laggards.
What we measure

Six dimensions of AI maturity.

Each dimension is scored independently and weighted into the final number. Strategy, Delivery, and Talent carry the heaviest weights. They're where firms separate.

01
Strategic Clarity
Is AI the CEO's commitment, or IT's roadmap?
Weight20%
02
Delivery Model
Are workflows redesigned, or just augmented?
Weight20%
03
Talent & Culture
Is the firm catching up to how its best people already work?
Weight20%
04
Pricing & Business Model
Is the model evolving, or just compressing margins?
Weight15%
05
Client Value
More valuable to clients, or just cheaper?
Weight15%
06
Data & Tech
Can the firm actually run AI?
Weight10%

      The research behind your score

      Why this matters now.

      Your score is benchmarked against the same research we use in our own diligence. The gap between AI leaders and everyone else is widening fast, and it is already showing up in revenue, margin, and valuation.

      How your score is calculated. Your responses are scored 1 to 5 on 24 questions across six dimensions, normalized to 0 to 100 per dimension, then weighted (Strategic Clarity, Delivery, and Talent at 20% each; Pricing and Client Value at 15%; Data & Technology at 10%) into a single maturity score. Tier thresholds and the "future-built" benchmark are anchored to the BCG and McKinsey research above.
