## Overview

Draft and maintain an APO-aligned digital readiness assessment: current state, dimensions, gaps, and recommendations for a digitally enabled business and Industry 4.0.

## Getting Started

Add your source materials to the project workspace, then activate the *APO Digital Readiness Assessment* skill. The agent will guide you through the process step by step.

## Example Conversation

Below is an example of how a typical APO digital readiness assessment session unfolds. The agent confirms scope and drafts the assessment with current state, dimensions, gaps, and recommendations.

> **You:** We need an APO digital readiness assessment for our SME. Can you draft it with current state and recommendations for Industry 4.0?
>
> **Agent:** I'll draft the APO digital readiness assessment. Do you have existing materials in the workspace (e.g. strategy docs, IT inventory) I should use, or should I create a structure from the readiness dimensions reference?
>
> **You:** We have a short strategy note and an IT systems list. Use those and add placeholders for dimensions we haven't documented yet.
>
> **Agent:** I've loaded the APO readiness dimensions reference. I'll create sections for current state per dimension, gap analysis, and prioritized recommendations, and tie them to your strategy and systems where relevant.
