Find out how your AI maturity compares to the market
Score your procurement function across five pillars in under ten minutes and see exactly where the gaps are.
Almost everyone in procurement now uses AI. Very few organisations have built the capability around it.
Weekly generative AI use in procurement rose from 50 percent in 2023 to 94 percent in 2024, the sharpest increase of any business function. Yet only around 37 percent of organisations have established AI governance policies, and only about a third report a mature, organisation wide upskilling programme. Individual adoption has raced ahead. Organisational readiness has not kept pace.
That gap is where the risk sits, and it is also where the opportunity sits. Teams full of enthusiastic individual AI users can still be immature as a function, with no governance, no verification habits and no connection between the tools they use.
Our AI Maturity Assessment gives you an honest read on where you actually stand, scored across five pillars and benchmarked against a market average of roughly four in ten.
Processes
How much of your routine procurement work runs without manual effort, how well data flows across sourcing, contracting and purchase to pay, and whether your team’s time goes to strategy or to fire fighting.
Systems
Which AI enabled tools you use, how many areas of procurement they cover, from spend analytics to contract management and supplier risk, and how well connected that stack actually is.
People and Capability
How routinely your team uses AI, how confidently they spot errors in AI output, and what training and governance sit behind that use.
Risk Management and Governance
Whether AI use and AI purchasing are governed by policy, how you protect data that goes into AI tools, who owns the cases AI cannot handle, and how you stand against regulation now in force.
Strategy and Organisation
Whether AI is aligned to a long term ambition for the function, how well your procurement lifecycle is connected end to end, and whether AI fits the way your team is actually structured.
Fifteen questions, five pillars, around eight minutes. You will get a scored result across each pillar and a view of where you sit against the market.
A separate percentage score for Processes, Systems, People and Capability, Risk Management and Governance, and Strategy and Organisation, so you can see which pillar is holding you back.
Your overall score set against the market average, with a clear read on whether you are ahead, in line, or behind.
A description of what your current level looks like in practice, from Lacking through to Market Leading, in plain operational terms.
The specific gaps behind your lowest scoring pillar, and what tends to move the needle first.
Most functions score in the lower half of the range. No single dimension of AI readiness in procurement currently reaches the threshold most models set for effective deployment, and governance is consistently the weakest. Reaching the Developing band, 50 percent or above, across all five pillars already puts you ahead of most of your peers.
A low score is not a failure. It is a starting point, and in most cases it points to a sequencing problem rather than a technology problem. If your Processes and Systems scores are low, the answer is rarely more AI tools. It is usually data quality and integration first. If your People or Governance scores lag behind the rest, the priority is policy, oversight and training before you scale usage any further.
