Research

Research themes.

Our research is organised into nine connected areas, from measuring individual capability to building a global index.

Theme 01

AI Capability Measurement

Measuring how effectively people and teams actually work with AI — reasoning, iteration, judgment, and results — across three levels:

  • Individuals
  • Teams
  • Organisations

Theme 02

AI Maturity

Assessing organisational readiness across the foundations that determine whether AI investment translates into capability:

  • Governance
  • People
  • Data
  • Processes

Theme 03

Organisational Transformation

Studying how AI changes the way organisations operate — decision-making, structure, workflows, and value creation.

Theme 04

Workforce Transformation

Understanding how AI reshapes work: the emergence of new roles and the shifting map of required skills.

  • New roles
  • Evolving skill needs

Theme 05

International Benchmarking

Comparing AI capability and transformation across a common framework:

  • Countries
  • Regions
  • Industries

Theme 06

AI Capability Index

The long-term goal: a trusted, continuously refined index that makes AI capability comparable over time and across contexts.

Theme 07

AI Governance

Responsible AI in practice: oversight, accountability, risk, and regulatory compliance.

  • Oversight
  • Accountability
  • Risk & compliance

Theme 08

AI & Innovation

How AI drives new products, services, business models, and research.

Theme 09

AI & Social Impact

AI's effects on society: equity, inclusion, and public value.
