Rate yourself honestly from 1–5 on each dimension:
| Dimension | 1 (Low) | 3 (Medium) | 5 (High) |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Tool Fluency | Never used AI tools for work | Use AI occasionally; limited prompting | Use AI daily; build custom prompts and workflows |
| Domain Expertise | Generalist; no deep specialty | Practiced in a field; some expertise | Recognized expert in a domain |
| AI Literacy | Don't understand LLMs, hallucination, bias | Understand basic concepts; can explain AI limitations | Can evaluate model quality; understand tradeoffs |
| Continuous Learning | Rarely learn new tools | Occasionally experiment with new tools | Actively build skills; track AI developments |
| Judgment and Discernment | Accept outputs uncritically | Sometimes verify; sometimes don't | Reliably evaluate AI quality; catch errors routinely |
| Adaptability | Prefer stable, established workflows | Willing to change when required | Actively seek better approaches |
Scoring guidance: - 20–30: Strong foundation — expand from areas of strength - 11–19: Building stage — prioritize AI fluency and one domain specialty - 6–10: Starting point — begin with basic AI fluency in current role immediately
Days 1–30: Fluency Foundation - Choose one AI tool as your primary (ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) - Use it for at least one real work task every day - Create a personal prompt library: 5 prompts that reliably help with your most common tasks - Join one community where AI tools are discussed in your professional context (Slack, Reddit, LinkedIn groups)
Days 31–60: Workflow Integration - Identify one recurring, time-consuming task in your workflow - Build an AI-assisted approach that reduces time by at least 30% - Experiment with one adjacent tool (automation: Zapier; research: Perplexity; visual: Midjourney) - Track time saved to quantify your productivity gain
Days 61–90: Strategic Development - Take stock of your exposure audit (revisit from Module 2): what has changed? - Identify one AI-complementary skill to develop in the next 90 days - Create or update one professional artifact (article, portfolio piece, workflow doc) that demonstrates AI-augmented work - Connect with two people whose AI use you admire and learn their approaches
Beyond the 90-day plan, the highest-value posture is permanent curiosity:
The AI era rewards the curious, the adaptive, and those who develop judgment that AI lacks. The workers and organizations that thrive will not be those who ignore the transition or those who assume AI replaces everything — but those who stay engaged, learn continuously, and bring irreplaceable human judgment to AI-augmented work.
