AI Culture Scoreboard
Cultivate: Measure What Matters and Celebrate It
Track what matters. Celebrate progress. Sustain momentum.
What it is for
Measure what matters for your AI culture transformation. This scoreboard helps you track engagement, adoption velocity, and culture health, the metrics that predict long-term success.
The question this chapter asks your team
What would we measure if adoption, not spend, were the goal?
How to run it

Choose three to five metrics to track weekly, across the three groups.
-

-
Fill in the weekly tracker every week and the monthly tracker at month end.
