Where are we today?
See maturity across strategy, data, process, people, governance, and technology in one leadership-ready view.
Synapsys IQ
Turn AI ambition into a board-ready transformation plan.
Start with a free Synapsys IQ™ assessment and receive a structured executive view of where AI can create value, what must be fixed first, which workflows to prioritise, and how to move from assessment to execution with confidence.
Built for CEOs, boards, transformation leaders, and enterprise teams that need a practical view of readiness, business impact, governance, risk, and next steps.
What Synapsys IQ answers
Three questions every leadership team needs answered before investing in AI.
The free assessment is structured around the decisions executives actually face, not generic maturity labels or vendor-driven checklists.
Where is the value?
Pinpoint which departments, workflows, and decision points are most suitable for automation, augmentation, and decision intelligence.
What should we do first?
Get a sequenced plan weighted by value, feasibility, risk, and standards alignment, not a generic AI wish list.
The Synapsys IQ Difference
AI transformation is not a technology checklist. It is a business operating decision.
Synapsys IQ™ brings strategy, operations, data, people, governance, and economics into one structured view so leaders can decide where to start and how to scale responsibly.
Make AI investable
Translate readiness gaps and use cases into business cases leaders can compare, fund, and govern.
Find the workflows that matter
Surface repetitive work, approval friction, judgement-heavy tasks, and system fragmentation across departments.
Move with control
Connect value potential with standards alignment, risk posture, sequencing, and practical next steps.
Assessment Process
A guided path from business context to executive insight.
The assessment is designed to be practical, fast to complete, and useful for leadership discussion. It captures enough information to reveal patterns without turning into a long consulting exercise.
Step 01
Profile the organisation
Capture company context, industry, scale, existing systems, and leadership contact details so the result is relevant to the operating environment.
Step 02
Complete the readiness assessment
Answer focused questions across strategy, data, process, people, governance, and technology to establish the AI maturity baseline.
Step 03
Map functions and workflows
Select key departments, manual effort, bottlenecks, approvals, judgement tasks, and system fragmentation to reveal transformation opportunities.
Step 04
Receive the executive report
Get a structured view of readiness, opportunity, AI model fit, indicative value, standards alignment, and a practical roadmap.
What We Assess
The signals that decide whether AI can scale safely and profitably.
Synapsys IQ looks beyond tools. It assesses the business, operating model, data environment, people readiness, governance discipline, workflow reality, and technology foundation needed for AI transformation.
Leadership commitment, AI vision, investment priorities, and whether ambition is backed by clear ownership and outcomes.
Data quality, accessibility, ownership, governance, and whether operational data is fit for AI.
Workflow efficiency, automation readiness, operational bottlenecks, and process discipline for AI scale.
AI literacy, workforce readiness, change management, and training needs across the organisation.
AI policies, accountability, risk management, responsible AI practices, and executive oversight.
Infrastructure, systems, cloud readiness, integrations, and existing AI tools.
Department priorities, manual hours, approval intensity, judgement tasks, repetitive work, bottlenecks, and automation potential.
Recommended AI capabilities based on business needs such as document intelligence, workflow automation, forecasting, service support, and decision assistance.
Who this is for
Built for leaders who need clarity before committing budget, teams, and time.
Synapsys IQ is useful when the organisation knows AI matters, but still needs to understand readiness, priority use cases, expected value, and the safest path to execution.
Best used before major AI investment, vendor selection, roadmap planning, or transformation workshops.

ISO Standards Adopted
Grounded in recognised AI, governance, risk, security, and management standards.
Synapsys IQ is not a casual quiz. The free assessment is grounded in recognised ISO and IEC standards, so your results speak the language of governance, risk, operations, and executive decision-making. Treat the output as a diagnostic starting point for leadership, not proof of compliance, a substitute for formal audit, or regulatory attestation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Most leaders complete the assessment in 15 minutes. The flow has four guided steps: profile your organisation, answer the readiness questions, map key departments and workflows, then unlock your executive dashboard. You can work through it in one sitting or return to finish later in the same session.
You start with an organisation profile: company name, industry, country, size, revenue, and a contact name, job title, and work email. After the readiness questions, you see a preview of your score and maturity level. The full executive dashboard (opportunity heatmap, workflow intelligence, model recommendations, indicative value, and standards-aligned roadmap) unlocks once you complete the workflow mapping step and confirm consent to receive your tracked report link.
Synapsys IQ collects only what is needed to personalise your assessment and generate your report. Your answers are used to calculate readiness scores and recommendations; they are not sold to third parties. Contact details deliver your report link and, only if you opt in, allow Synapsys to follow up about related AI transformation services. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Yes. Synapsys IQ is a diagnostic tool, not a software marketplace. Model and capability suggestions reflect what fits your workflows and readiness. They do not promote specific vendors, licences, or reseller deals. Synapsys Digital offers implementation, training, and managed services separately, but the free assessment has no platform to sell.
No. Synapsys IQ works for organisations at every stage, from first exploration to teams scaling initiatives that need an honest baseline. The questions adapt to your profile so early-stage companies and established enterprises both receive a relevant executive view.
