AI Readiness Checklist for Moroccan Companies
Table of contents
1. Assess your data landscape
Data is the foundation of any AI initiative. Many Moroccan companies struggle with fragmented data across departments, inconsistent formats, and legacy systems. Before investing in AI, understand where you stand.
- • Audit existing data sources: CRM, ERP, spreadsheets, and manual records.
- • Evaluate data quality: completeness, accuracy, and consistency.
- • Identify gaps that need to be filled before AI can deliver results.
2. Evaluate your team's capabilities
Morocco faces a significant AI talent gap. Understanding your team's current skills helps you plan for training or external support where needed.
- • Map existing technical skills: programming, data analysis, statistics.
- • Identify champions who can lead AI adoption within departments.
- • Plan for upskilling or partnering with external AI expertise.

- • Check integration capabilities with current business systems.
- • Consider data sovereignty requirements for Moroccan regulations.

Not every AI application delivers equal value. Focus on use cases with clear ROI that align with Morocco's market dynamics.
- • Prioritize problems where AI can automate repetitive tasks.
- • Look for opportunities to improve customer experience in local markets.
- • Consider predictive analytics for demand forecasting and inventory.
