Before you bring AI into your business, ask yourself: are you ready for it, or are you about to automate the chaos you already have?
In this episode, Maartje van Krieken breaks down AI readiness through the lens of business triage - a reality check for leaders who want to move fast without making a bigger mess. She explains why success starts with stabilizing your systems and why small, structured beginnings often create the strongest results.
Maartje also shares how opportunity framing helps teams define success and measure real impact instead of chasing hype. What does readiness look like in your business? And what would happen if you treated AI as a long-term skill to build, not a quick fix to apply?
By the end, you’ll see AI as a tool for clarity and capability, not chaos, and know exactly where to start.
