WHAT THE CHECK MEASURES

Three things that determine whether AI becomes useful work.

Useful opportunity

Is there a clear outcome, repeatable work and a business problem worth improving?

Safe use

Are there clear boundaries around approved tools, sensitive information and human review?

Team readiness

Are leaders aligned, owners clear and Team learning built into the change?

WHY THIS CHECK EXISTS

AI use is moving faster than organisational clarity.

The check was created from practical questions Eli uses when reviewing workflows, AI opportunities, decision rules and Team adoption. It is a starting point, not a formal technical or legal audit.

84%

of Australian knowledge workers in Microsoft and LinkedIn’s 2024 research reported using AI at work.

70%

of Australian leaders in the same research worried their organisation lacked an AI implementation plan and vision.

REPRESENTATIVE WORK IN PROGRESS

Turning complex onboarding requirements into one usable workflow.

A current engagement is bringing together Team requirements, Employment Hero setup requirements and workplace award considerations into a clearer onboarding and payroll workflow. The work is still in progress, human review remains in place for exceptions and no results are claimed.

START WHERE IT SUITS YOU

Use the check, or start with a conversation.

The readiness check is useful when the first move is unclear. The contact form is better when you already have a specific decision, project or pressure point to discuss.
