Launch of the NASSCOM AI Maturity Assessment Framework

Evaluate, Benchmark and Strategize your AI Readiness

Relevance of the Framework

Industry analysts predict that a substantial increase in Artificial Intelligence by Indian firms can result in a 2.5% increase in India’s GDP in the immediate term. An emerging challenge to achieve this goal is to harness the power of AI by companies across the industry. This “AI for all” is the underpinning of the NASSCOM AI Maturity assessment framework.

Any company that wishes to expand its AI capabilities can use this survey-based framework to get a quick assessment of its existing AI state and how far it has to go. The framework provides informative and actionable outcomes applicable across all sectors including start-ups, MSMEs and large organizations.

Features of the Framework

The framework consists of objective type questions across eight main parameters including leadership commitment, impact, people and culture, process, innovation, data, technology, and ethics, control, and governance.

The composite score assesses a company’s AI readiness in terms of strategy and adoption and categorizes it as explorer, enthusiast, expert, or evangelist. Individual category scores provide granular knowledge of company’s strength and weakness in each category and helps in prioritization.

The quantitative results are also represented using easy-to-understand radar chart and bar graphs. The framework also allows periodic review of company’s AI capabilities and provides suggestions on the “next steps” for the organization. This enables companies to quickly take up measures to scale up their AI competencies.

The Visionary Approach

Companies, which are looking forward to harnessing the dynamic dividends generated by adopting AI technology, should be using this framework to ascertain their current AI maturity stage and determine next steps. The innovation momentum that India has gained in the recent past can only be sustained if companies – across all sectors – embrace the emerging technologies and transition to successive AI maturity stages – NASSCOM’s AI maturity assessment framework is a step in that direction.”

The NASSCOM AI Maturity Assessment Framework will help you to evaluate, benchmark and strategize your AI readiness.
