Key insights

Headline takeaways auto-derived from this snapshot — counts of high-/low-adoption BUs, dominant tools, and activation gaps. The aim is to surface what ExCo would otherwise pull out of the report by hand.

🟢
2 BUs at 100% adoption
Executive, Technology fully equipped.
🟡
7 BUs at 50–79% adoption
Capacity to close quickly with targeted activation.
🔴
4 BUs need activation
1 BUs at 0%: Cryptography; 3 below 50%.
🤖
ChatGPT is most-used (45%)
85 of 187 employees licensed. Niche tools (<15%): Cursor, Gemini, GitHub Copilot.
📊
61.0% overall — ahead of PS industry median (~55–60%)
Licensed = at least one AI tool seat resolved to the employee.
🎯

Strategic themes — next month

Three concrete cohorts to action next month, derived from the data above. Numbers in bold are pulled from this snapshot; framings (PRIORITY / SCALE / AMPLIFY) mirror the ExCo report’s §4.

🔴PRIORITY
Tool provisioning gap
  • 73 total employees have zero AI tools.
  • 8 unresolved license rows blocking accurate counts.
Recommended actions
  • Provision Claude / ChatGPT licences for AI-active project teams this week.
  • Resolve outstanding unmatched handles via aliases.csv.
  • Establish a licence-request SLA (target: 48 hrs).
🟡SCALE
Move the L2 middle
  • Load AI Maturity Self-Assessment responses to size this cohort.
Recommended actions
  • Launch an L2→L3 upskilling cohort using internal AI methodology.
  • Focus on the largest BUs first — biggest leverage per session.
  • Pair each cohort member with a daily AI workflow exercise.
🟢AMPLIFY
L3 / L4 AI champions
  • Load AI Maturity Self-Assessment responses to identify champions.
Recommended actions
  • Formalise an internal AI champions programme.
  • Pair champions with lagging BUs as embedded mentors.
  • Capture champion playbooks for reuse across the org.
