Measure AI readiness. Identify workforce skill gaps. Align strategy with real capability.
AI Workforce Alignment™ helps organizations assess workforce AI competency, evaluate organizational readiness for AI adoption, and identify alignment gaps between strategy and workforce capability. It is one of two Workforce Ascend technology solutions, alongside Navigate.
AI Workforce Alignment™ runs as its own Workforce Ascend application. Links open the platform in a new tab.
Most organizations are guessing at AI readiness
AI strategy usually moves faster than workforce capability. AI Workforce Alignment™ closes that distance with evidence instead of assumption.
AI strategy exists, but no one knows what the workforce can actually do today.
Training is purchased before capability gaps are understood.
Leaders cannot see where AI readiness varies by department or role.
Workforce development priorities are set by opinion instead of evidence.
