About the course

The SEI Artificial Intelligence Adoption Framework defines 63 organizational capabilities. This course focuses on four linked to a fictional retailer’s customer-assistant decision, so you can learn the method without completing an exhaustive audit. Decide which capabilities apply, distinguish current evidence from aspirations or provider claims, set an appropriate target for the next step, and identify gaps and accountable owners. Practice with a blank Capability Profile Worksheet and a completed example.

Practical approach

Start with a specific decision and boundary. Select a small set of decision-critical capabilities, then record applicability, ownership, current evidence, an appropriate target, and the next action.

Built for real decisions

An advanced provider feature does not prove your organization can operate it. Examine knowledge ownership, human oversight, telemetry, and conditional memory against the decision at hand.

For your work

Use the Capability Profile Worksheet to explain what the organization can demonstrate now, what level is appropriate for the next step, and which gaps must be addressed.
