Know what your AI investment will actually cost.
Before you make it.

Most AI initiatives don’t fail because the technology is wrong. They fail because the foundation underneath it was never ready. Local World’s AI Readiness Assessment tells you exactly where you stand, what’s in the way, and what it will realistically take to get from where you are to where AI can actually work.

THE PROBLEM

Most organizations are more ready to talk about AI than to run it.

The gap between an AI strategy and a working AI implementation is almost always the same things: duplicated data that nobody cleaned up, integrations that were built to survive rather than scale, governance decisions that got deferred, and technical debt that accumulated quietly for years until it became the reason the AI pilot stalled. None of these are surprising problems. They are knowable, measurable, and solvable. The mistake most organizations make is discovering them after the investment has been made, the vendor has been selected, and the pressure to deliver is already on. The AI Readiness Assessment exists to change that sequence. You find out what you are dealing with before you spend, not after.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for the leaders who will be held accountable for AI outcomes.

This assessment is designed for organizations running Salesforce who are planning AI investment and want an honest, evidence-based view of their readiness before they commit. It is particularly relevant for three groups of leaders who will feel the consequences of an underprepared AI rollout most directly.

  • IT AND TECHNOLOGY LEADERS

    Domains: Data · Integration · Platform · Governance
    You are responsible for the data architecture, integration landscape, and platform governance that AI will run on. Before your board asks why the AI pilot stalled, you need an independent view of what your environment can actually support, where the gaps are, and what closing them will realistically require in time, resource, and cost.

  • SALES LEADERS

    Domains: CRM Data · Pipeline · Forecasting · Enablement
    You have been told AI will improve forecasting accuracy, accelerate pipeline, and increase rep productivity. Whether any of that happens depends entirely on the quality and structure of the data sitting inside your CRM today. This assessment tells you whether your Salesforce environment can support AI-driven outcomes, or whether you are building on a foundation that will quietly undermine all of it.

  • MARKETING LEADERS

    Domains: Customer Data · MarTech · Attribution · Automation
    Personalization, automation, and measurable attribution are the AI use cases your organization is counting on. Whether they are achievable depends on the state of your customer data, your MarTech integration layer, and your attribution model. This assessment gives you a clear, honest picture of where you are and what it will take to get where you want to be.

AI IN THE BOARDROOM

Confidence is outpacing competence.

  • >50%

    50% of CEOs say boards can’t separate AI hype from reality

  • 75%

    of board members rate their AI knowledge at or above their peers

  • 60%

    of CEOs say their boards are rushing AI transformation

WHAT YOU GET

A 2 to 4 week diagnostic. Three things you can actually use.

The output of this assessment is not a report that sits in a shared drive. It is three structured deliverables designed to help you make better decisions, justify investment, and build internal alignment around a realistic plan.

A CLEAR SCORE WITH THE EVIDENCE BEHIND IT

AI readiness Scorecard and Assessment Report
You are responsible for the data architecture, integration landscape, and platform governance that AI will run on. Before your board asks why the AI pilot stalled, you need an independent view of what your environment can actually support, where the gaps are, and what closing them will realistically require in time, resource, and cost.

We rank what’s holding you back and scope what it takes to move

Blocker Inventory and Remediation Checklist

The Blocker Inventory is a ranked list of foundational issues identified in the assessment, rated by cost, effort, and risk. For each blocker, the Remediation Checklist defines what needs to happen to resolve it, across technical systems, data processes, governance structures, and the organizational behaviors that sit outside any system. Remediation targets are set against your scorecard so progress is measurable and the path forward is clear.

A business case built for the board room

Phase 1 Recommendation and Executive Presentation
The Phase 1 Recommendation translates the findings into a concrete, sequenced plan for what to do first, in what order, and why. It includes quick wins that can demonstrate early value alongside longer-horizon dependencies that need to be addressed before full AI implementation begins. The Executive Presentation takes that plan and packages it for the stakeholders who need to approve the next stage of investment, with the business case built out so you are not starting from scratch when the board meeting comes.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps from scoping call to board-ready output.

  • STEP 1

    Scoping Call
    30-minute conversation to understand your environment, your AI objectives, and the specific areas of your Salesforce org that are in scope for the assessment.

  • STEP 2

    Discovery and Data Collection
    Our practitioners work directly inside your environment, reviewing your data architecture, integration landscape, governance documentation, and configuration against a structured assessment framework. No questionnaires sent to your team and left unanswered.

  • STEP 3

    Analysis and Findings
    We synthesize what we found into a scored, ranked, and prioritized picture of your readiness. Every finding is documented with the specificity needed to act on it, not just to acknowledge it.

  • STEP 4

    Readiness Briefing and Handoff
    We walk you through the Scorecard, Blocker Inventory, and Phase 1 Recommendation in a structured readiness briefing. You leave with everything you need to make the next decision with confidence.

WHY LOCAL WORLD

We have been inside enterprise transformation programs long enough to know what actually breaks them.

Local World has spent 13 years placing and deploying talent inside the most complex SAP and Salesforce transformation programs in North America. We have seen what happens when AI is layered onto an environment that was not ready for it. We have also seen what a well-prepared foundation makes possible.

The practitioners who deliver this assessment are not strategy consultants producing frameworks at a distance. They are people who have worked inside Salesforce environments, managed data governance on live transformation programs, and built the kind of institutional knowledge about what good looks like that only comes from doing the work. When we tell you what your environment can and cannot support, it is because we have seen both in practice.

We are also straight with you. If your environment is in better shape than you expected, we will tell you that. If the gap between where you are and where you need to be is larger than your current timeline or budget can accommodate, we will tell you that too. The value of this assessment is the accuracy of what it finds, not the comfort of what it tells you.
