What's inside AI Adoption Journey Map
Stage 1 — Strategy
Frame the why before the what. Connect AI to mission, beneficiaries and capacity, not hype.
Stage 2 — Governance
The minimum policy, classification and approval process to use AI without exposing your charity.
Stage 3 — Literacy
Get every staff member confident enough to spot risks and opportunities in their own work.
Stage 4 — Team Training
Embed AI in the workflows of fundraisers, comms, ops and frontline teams — not as a side project.
Stage 5 — Agents
Move from chat to delegated work: agents that research funders, triage email and draft reports under supervision.
Stage 6 — Predictive AI
Use your own data to predict donor behaviour, demand and outcomes — once your foundations are solid.
Avoid the common pitfalls
Skipping straight to tools
Buying ChatGPT licences before you have a strategy or policy is the fastest way to waste money and create risk.
All staff at the same pace
Treating literacy and team training as the same thing leaves keen staff frustrated and nervous staff exposed.
No checkpoints
Without explicit stage gates, charities drift back and forth between "exploring" and "abandoning".
Doing it alone
Trustees, CEO, ops, fundraising and IT all need to own a slice — or it stalls.
