The AI Readiness Playbook.

A practical guide for organizing AI governance, stakeholder engagement, policy, and implementation. Built for community colleges, and free from us to you.

  • The Campus AI Org Chart
  • A phased AI Readiness Pathway
  • Common starting points for your campus

Organized around two core ideas.

AI is an ocean of a topic. The playbook makes it easier for community college leaders to orient themselves and progress toward becoming AI Ready.

The Campus AI Org Chart

Where AI lives, who’s involved, and how responsibility flows across three layers: AI Leadership, AI Guidance, and Domain-Specific Decision Makers.

The AI Readiness Pathway

A phased approach for moving from early leadership alignment to sustainable, campus-wide AI readiness, one milestone at a time.

A phased path, from foundation to maturation.

You do not need to solve every AI question at once. The pathway turns the ocean into practical, achievable steps.

01

Foundation

Get the house in order. Build leadership alignment, form a working group, listen to stakeholders, assess readiness, and identify early recommendations.

02

Expansion

Build operational capacity. Develop practical guides, launch role-specific training, pilot tools and workflows, and begin policy development.

03

Maturation

Make AI readiness sustainable. Implement policy updates, run annual reviews, track progress, update guidance, and scale what works.

Wherever you are, there’s a place to begin.

The playbook closes with common starting points, so your team can find the one that fits where you are today.
