RDY-01: Prepare Your Business for AI™

About Course

Prepare Your Business for AI™ moves learners from AI awareness into structured business readiness. The course is designed for businesses that understand the basic opportunities and limitations of AI but need to determine whether their operations, information, people, controls, and leadership are actually prepared for responsible adoption.

The course follows a business-first sequence. Learners establish a readiness baseline, examine current processes and information, identify people and capability gaps, define initial governance and verification requirements, evaluate readiness risks, and create a prioritized 30-day action plan and 90-day AI Readiness Roadmap™.

The course deliberately stops before full implementation. Detailed process redesign, advanced data preparation, automation build-outs, and department-specific AI deployment are addressed in later SH3 Digital Academy courses. RDY-01 gives the learner the evidence and decision structure required to move into those courses with clarity.
