AI is no longer a thing of the future. It is here, now, and it is transforming the way organisations operate, innovate and compete. But here is the harsh reality: AI amplifies what already exists. Poor processes get worse, unclear strategies lead to chaos, and poor collaboration results in isolated systems that add no value.

Organisations looking to implement AI soon come up against the limits of their own digital immaturity. The lower the level of digital maturity, the lower the likelihood that AI will be successful. The higher the level of digital maturity, the greater the likelihood that AI can be successfully implemented.

Digital maturity: the foundation for successful AI

Digital maturity indicates how an organisation deals with the organisational, IT, technological and cultural challenges of digital transformation. The higher the level of maturity, the better equipped an organisation is to succeed in the digital age. It is not a luxury, but a necessity — especially now that AI is raising the bar.

At TIMAF, we see every day how organisations struggle with AI initiatives that fail due to a lack of a solid digital foundation. AI exposes the weaknesses that have been lurking beneath the surface for years. So it’s time to take action!

Benchmark AI / Digitale volwassenheid: waar sta jij?

To help organisations gain insight into their current digital maturity and the status of their AI initiatives, TIMAF is launching the AI / Digital Maturity Benchmark. This will enable you to:

Assess your own digital maturity using the self-assessment.
Gain insight into the status of your AI initiatives by completing a questionnaire.
Compare your results with other organisations in the public benchmark.
Receive personalised advice on the next steps towards a higher level of maturity.

The benchmark is open to everyone, enabling organisations to learn from each other’s experiences. Organisations that have completed the digital maturity self-assessment will receive exclusive insights and advice on how to enhance their digital maturity.

Why take part?

AI is forcing us to break down silos. It requires collaboration between information managers, process experts, architects, IT professionals, lawyers and procurement specialists, amongst others. Only by joining forces — by linking strategy, governance, processes, data, architecture and culture — can we realise the full potential of AI.

The benchmark helps you to:

Assess your current position relative to other organisations.
Identify gaps in your digital maturity.
Set priorities for improvement.
Create a roadmap to a higher level of maturity.

How does it work?

It’s quite simple to take part.

Take the self-assessment to get an initial indication of your digital maturity.
Complete the questionnaire on the status of your AI initiatives.
Receive your results and compare them with the benchmark.
Get personalised advice from TIMAF on the next steps.

The time is now

AI waits for no one. Organisations that invest now in digital maturity — and in the collaboration that this requires — will reap the rewards. The others will be left behind with costly AI experiments that add no value.

So: join forces, work on your digital foundation, and make a difference.
