An interview with our DAISEC core partner it.emsland<\/a> about orientation, structure, and concrete next steps for SMEs<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Artificial intelligence has become part of everyday life for many people, but companies are asking themselves: Where do we actually stand? Are we ready to use AI? And waht's the best place to start?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's where the AI Quick-Check<\/strong> comes in, which is carried out by our DAISEC core partner it.emsland. In this interview, we explain what the format is all about, who it is suitable for, and how exactly companies can benefit from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor many companies all this feels disoriented at the beginning.\u201d<\/strong>
What was the starting point for the development of the AI check?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

it.emsland:<\/em> We have noticed that many companies tend to be rather disoriented when it comes to integrating AI into their business processes. It is often assumed that this is primarily a technical challenge. In practice, however, it is clear that digitalization\u2014and AI in particular\u2014is above all an organizational and cultural task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before a company launches an AI project, it first needs to take an honest look at where it stands: Where are we currently? Are we structurally and organizationally ready?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AI Quick Check was developed precisely to meet this need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What exactly is the AI quick check?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

it.emsland:<\/em> The AI Quick Check is a guideline-based interview format that enables a structured assessment of a company's AI readiness within a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interview takes place on site or via video conference and usually lasts 45 minutes. It is followed by a 15-minute discussion of the results. At the end, the company receives a structured assessment with specific recommendations for action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that the check is not a comprehensive maturity model, but rather a well-founded, practical initial assessment. It provides guidance without overwhelming the reader and clarifies the next sensible steps to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who is this Quick Check made for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

it.emsland:<\/em> The AI check is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across all industries, as well as for start-ups and new businesses. It is useful for both AI beginners and companies that are already advanced in their use of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our experience shows that even companies that are already heavily involved in AI benefit from structured reflection. The standardized questions encourage reflection, regardless of the level of knowledge to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How exactly does the Quick-Check work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

it.emsland:<\/em> Companies contact it.emsland either individually or via special AI consultation days with bookable time slots. During the consultation, four key dimensions are examined using a structured guide. These dimensions are based on many years of experience in digitization and innovation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is explicitly not just about technology, but also includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
