Hi all,

I am writing in to check for the Microsoft Assessments AI Readiness Assessment. I would like to check if Microsoft offers customised AI Readiness Assessments where the focus would be assessing the individuals on their AI readiness in the organisation, and from there identify relevant skillsets or competency gaps pertaining to Gen AI in the organisation.

Do let me know if such customisation by Microsoft is available as a choice.

Thank you
