When it comes to AI readiness, most organizations still struggle to answer one simple question—how skilled are we, really? The Association of Data Scientists (ADaSci) aims to change that with the launch of SkillIndex, a comprehensive framework designed to benchmark AI skilling maturity and help companies chart their path to transformation.
SkillIndex offers enterprises a detailed assessment of their workforce’s AI capabilities across five core dimensions—Awareness & Literacy, Breadth of Adoption, Depth of Expertise, Integration into Workflows, and Leadership & Culture. Each organization receives a quantitative score and a maturity level ranging from Awareness to Transformational, alongside a customized roadmap for upskilling.
The initiative comes at a time when demand for generative AI and agentic systems is outpacing the availability of skilled talent. ADaSci’s framework moves beyond traditional training metrics by evaluating how deeply AI is embedded in daily operations, leadership strategy, and organizational culture.
The rollout includes a digital survey platform that automatically computes an AI SkillIndex score, provides visual dashboards, and generates customized learning paths. Organizations can request a free consultation where ADaSci experts help interpret results and design tailored skilling programs.
With SkillIndex, ADaSci hopes to make AI skilling measurable, accountable, and transformative—helping companies move from experimentation to impact, one skill at a time.
