|---|---|---|
| 0 – 90 | Not Ready | Major foundational work needed. Prioritise leadership buy-in, skills taxonomy, culture and infrastructure. |
| 91 – 150 | Early Stage | Some foundations in place. Focus on closing critical gaps in strategy, technical readiness, and reskilling pipelines. |
| 151 – 210 | Developing | Good progress. Address remaining gaps in processes, AI/green skill coverage, and budget. Consider a pilot cohort. |
| 211 – 255 | Almost Ready | Strong readiness. Finalise platform selection and ensure skills taxonomy reflects WEF 2030 priorities. |
| 256 – 300 | Fully Ready | Excellent readiness. Proceed with ICoBC accreditation. Focus on early wins and future-proofing. |
