Informed Solutions has launched a dynamic AI Readiness Service designed to accelerate organisations’ understanding of readiness and capabilities to take advantage of AI for operational and service efficiency.

The AI Readiness Service launch follows the successful adoption of AI through proof of value exercises in 2024 for several nationally significant healthcare and environmental programmes for the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority on clinical trial application processes, for NatureScot’s national rollout of AI to transform sustainable land asset management, and in medical record collation – through the development of a next-generation intelligent document processing platform for fast, effective, efficient, handling of medical records.

A Five-stage AI Readiness Assessment provides a structured, evidence-based assessment of AI’s business value, current readiness, and the people, technical, and data capabilities required to unlock value at pace and scale.

Key features of the new service include:

Data readiness Assessment for AI acceptance
The identification of practical use cases where responsible AI can make a real difference in live operations
The identification and solution to blockers to AI deployment and adoption
A toolkit for building trust in the technology with people, partners, and communities
Skills and capabilities building – to operate and evolve AI within an organisation

The service provides AI proofs-of-concept (PoC) and proofs-of-value that focus on operationalising AI in complex environments to deliver tangible business value – quickly.

Combining data science, User-Centred Design, and agile delivery, the AI Readiness Service ensures that the right PoCs can rapidly scale into enterprise or nationally scaled applications. Importantly, the service combines assessment with upskilling, and the development of practical roadmaps and target operating models for safe, trustworthy, ethical, and responsible AI.

Seth Finegan, UK CEO at Informed Solutions comments: “The recently launched UK AI Opportunity Action Plan is an ambitious policy to establish the UK as a global AI leader. Public and Private sector organisations’ abilities to embrace AI effectively will be key to boosting economic prosperity, enhancing public services, and fostering the growth of a responsible AI ecosystem.

“We’ve designed an innovative AI Readiness Service to accelerate organisational abilities to embrace AI – designing a service for business leaders who need to harness the exciting opportunities offered by AI – to do more with less, increasing efficiency by automating routine manual work; to make better, more informed decisions based on data-driven insights and predictive models; and to help organisations maintain and enhance competitive advantage – identifying and quickly responding to emerging opportunities and challenges.

“We’re excited to offer this service following the successful trial and proof of value success with multiple national programmes over the past 24 months. It’s a tried, tested, and trusted service with a track record of delivering secure, nationally-scaled AI for complex organisational and service challenges.”
