INTRODUCING

The Strategic AI Readiness Assessment for Retailers

While the potential of AI is vast, realizing its value requires careful planning and execution. Many retailers face challenges in implementation, from data readiness and compliance concerns to skill gaps and stakeholder alignment. The AI Readiness Assessment, conducted by the Retail Supply Chain strategists at Spinnaker SCA, was created to addresses these challenges head-on through a structured framework and guide our clients through some of the AI chaos.

The AI Readiness Assessment is a 6-to-8 week strategic assessment that evaluates the current state of AI adoption within your retail operations, including data infrastructure, existing technology capabilities, workforce readiness, and alignment with business objectives. Our Readiness Assessment is designed to identify potential gaps, inefficiencies, and areas of opportunity, focusing on data quality, compliance risks, technology stack compatibility, and scalability challenges.

Collaborating with our team of Retail supply chain AI experts, the “key questions” are defined, and a data-driven approach is applied to develop actionable recommendations that mitigate risks and position your organization for long-term AI-driven success.
