AI Agent & Human Workflow Redesign Readiness Assessment
Diagnoses whether a specific team or process is actually ready to redesign work around AI agents — covering current usage, data and skills readiness, redesign priorities, and change barriers. Built for operations, transformation, and IT leaders scoping where to pilot next; the AI follow-up interview digs into the single biggest blocker instead of accepting a generic 'change management' answer.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
Which part of the organization does the workflow you're evaluating primarily sit in?
- Customer Support
- Sales & CRM
- Finance & Accounting
- HR & People Ops
- IT & Engineering
- Operations & Supply Chain
How would you rate the current level of AI agent use in this workflow today — meaning autonomous or semi-autonomous AI systems that complete tasks with limited human input?
How much do you agree with each statement about this workflow's readiness for redesign?
- Leadership has committed real budget and time to this
- The process steps are clearly documented today
- The data feeding this workflow is clean and accessible
- Employees trust AI-generated outputs enough to act on them
- There's a clear process for handling errors or exceptions
- +1 more
In the last 30 days, which tasks in this workflow have been most repetitive or rules-based?
- Data entry or reconciliation
- Scheduling or routing decisions
- Drafting responses or content
- Answering routine questions
- Compiling reports
- Approvals and sign-offs
Looking at these potential redesign moves, which would you tackle first and which would you leave for last?
- Automating data entry and reconciliation
- Routing or triage decisions
- Drafting first-pass responses or content
- Handling exceptions and escalations
- Managing approval workflows
- Answering routine customer or employee questions
- Compiling reports and analytics
If you had 100 points of investment to make this redesign succeed, how would you split them across these areas?
- Employee training and upskilling
- Redocumenting or redesigning the process itself
- AI agent tooling and system integration
- Governance, risk and compliance controls
- Change management and communication
Rank these from biggest to smallest barrier to redesigning this workflow with AI agents.
- Unclear ownership of the change
- Data quality or access issues
- Employee resistance or lack of trust
- Lack of technical integration
- Unclear return on investment
- Compliance or risk concerns
How confident are you that your team could adapt to a redesigned version of this workflow within the next 6 months?
Anchor on the readiness statement this respondent rated lowest and the barrier they ranked as biggest. Probe concretely: what specifically would have to change for that barrier to no longer be a blocker, and what's one recent moment where this barrier actually got in the way? If they rated the team as fully ready with no real barriers, stress-test that by asking what would happen if the AI agent made a visible mistake tomorrow. If confidence in adapting was low, ask what timeline they'd consider realistic instead and why.
Which best describes your role relative to this workflow?
- Individual contributor doing the work
- People manager overseeing the team
- Senior leader or executive sponsor
- External advisor or consultant
- Prefer not to say
What's the approximate size of your organization?
- Fewer than 100 employees
- 100-999 employees
- 1,000-9,999 employees
- 10,000+ employees
- Prefer not to say
That's everything — thank you for the candid input. Your answers feed a readiness scorecard that helps prioritize which workflows get an AI agent pilot next and what needs to be fixed first.
What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Anchors on one specific team or workflow (not the whole org), starting with where it sits, current AI agent usage level, and a matrix of readiness statements it can be scored against.
- Uses a max diff exercise and a constant-sum budget allocation to force tradeoffs on which redesign moves matter most, rather than accepting flat agree/disagree answers.
- Includes a ranking exercise on change barriers plus an AI follow-up interview that anchors on the specific lowest-rated readiness statement and the top-ranked barrier, pushing past a generic 'change management' answer to the actual blocker.
- Closes with role and org-size context and feeds directly into an auto-generated report, so operations/IT leaders get a diagnosis of pilot readiness for that specific workflow, not just a topline score.
SurveyMonkey
AI Readiness Assessment TemplateA fielding-ready template for gauging general AI readiness, built on SurveyMonkey's standard survey infrastructure. It appears aimed at organization-wide sentiment rather than diagnosing whether one specific team or workflow is ready to redesign around AI agents. Useful as a broad pulse-check, but not built to isolate a single blocker for a targeted pilot decision.
What it does well
- Backed by SurveyMonkey's established distribution, analytics, and reporting infrastructure
- Quick to deploy and customize for a general AI-readiness pulse check
- Likely benefits from SurveyMonkey's benchmarking and dashboard tooling
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to dig into the specific reason readiness is low
- Appears scoped to organization-level AI sentiment rather than diagnosing a specific workflow's redesign readiness
- No published methodology or per-response quality scoring visible on the template
