AI diagnostic for your company

Start on the right foot:
understand what you really need

Before we propose anything, we start by understanding. The AI diagnostic is the entry point to every engagement: we pinpoint your AI maturity level, the gap between where you are and where you want to go, and build an engagement path that genuinely fits your organization.

How the diagnostic runs
1

Interview with the leader

2 to 3 hours to surface the real need behind the stated request

2

Team member interviews

A few key interviews to compare perspectives and surface the roadblocks on the ground

3

Team survey

A representative sample to measure the organization's real AI maturity

Why a diagnostic

What you ask for and what you need are not always the same thing.

A client usually shows up with a stated request: "we want AI training" or "we want to roll out tools." Behind it sits a real need: framing how AI gets used, working through resistance, helping the leader steer. Catalia's diagnostic exists to surface that gap before we propose anything.

👂

Listen first

Before we propose, we listen. Not just to the stated request, but to what is really at stake in the organization: the tensions, the appetite, the real priorities, the roadblocks.

🎯

Pinpoint the real need

The gap between where you are today and where you want to be, measured in AI maturity and skills to build, not in modules to deliver.

🛠️

Propose something practical

The diagnostic leads to a tailored path, not a generic offer. Every recommendation is grounded in who you are and where you actually stand.

The method

A structured diagnostic: 3 steps, 3 deliverables

Catalia follows a rigorous method built on 3 rules: listen, lean into disagreement (to get to the real picture), and stay practical. That is what shifts our posture from trainer to change partner.

The 3 steps

How the diagnostic runs

1

Interview with the leader, 2 to 3 hours

An in-depth conversation to understand the vision, what's at stake strategically, how much AI is already used internally, and the real priorities.

2

Interviews with a few team members

2 to 4 interviews with key people (managers, team members, support functions) to compare perspectives and surface the roadblocks and drivers on the ground.

3

Survey across a representative sample

A quantitative measurement tool sent to a representative sample, or the full team, to map the organization's real AI maturity.

The diagnostic is built into every Catalia engagement. It can also be requested on its own, as the entry point before any commitment.

What you receive

Why Catalia?

A change partner, not one more trainer

Catalia does not sell a service. We drive a change. The difference: the starting point is always your real need, not a catalog offer.

Since 2022, we have worked with more than 130 SMB and mid-market companies. Our consultants have logged more than 10,000 hours of hands-on AI work alongside organizations. We know the real questions leaders wrestle with, the real roadblocks teams hit, and the drivers that actually move things.

The diagnostic is where that stance becomes tangible: listen before proposing, understand before recommending, measure to make progress. That is what sets us apart from a classic consulting firm or a training provider.

What won me over is that they started by listening, not by selling. The diagnostic put its finger on exactly what we needed, and the path they proposed matched the reality on the ground.

FAQ

Your questions
about the diagnostic

The diagnostic exists to surface the gap between what a client asks for and what they actually need. It identifies your AI maturity level, how you use AI today, the roadblocks and drivers inside your organization, and proposes a path that genuinely fits, not a standard offer.

The diagnostic is built into every Catalia engagement and included in the commercial proposal. It can also be requested on its own as an entry point before any commitment, in which case it gets its own quote. Either way, the goal is to make sure what we propose matches your real need.

The leader interview runs 2 to 3 hours. Team interviews add 2 to 4 sessions. The team survey takes 10 to 15 minutes per person. We share the full readout and deliverables within 5 to 10 business days, depending on the size of the organization.

A classic audit often produces a detailed report on the state of the art and the risks. Our diagnostic is built around action: understand the human and organizational need, measure how mature usage really is, and land right away on a path you can act on. We do not hand you a technical document. We tell you what to do first, why, and how.

No. The diagnostic is yours. If you choose to continue with Catalia, great: that is the strongest possible starting point for a successful engagement. If you prefer to use the deliverables with other partners, that is your right. Our commitment: give you an honest read of your situation and a recommendation grounded in your interest, not ours.
