Our Framework

The SAVANT 5™

A proprietary maturity model for AI leadership—measuring both individual readiness and organizational capability.

Why maturity matters

Most AI training treats all executives the same. Drop them in a workshop, show them ChatGPT, hope it sticks.

It doesn't work. Because executives arrive at different starting points and their organizations have different capacities to support change.

The SAVANT 5 provides a shared language for where you are, where you're going, and what's required to get there—at both the individual and organizational level.

The Four Pillars

The SAVANT 5 framework is built on four pillars of AI capability:

Pillar Description
AI Assistants Personalized agents that know your context, style, and priorities
AI Avatars Voice and image representations that extend your reach
AI Automations Workflows that run without constant intervention
AI Multi-Agent Systems Orchestrated teams of AI working together

Mastery means integrating all four pillars.

The Five Levels

From hoping for magic → creating magic. From tool reliance → self-reliance + co-existence.

Level Name Individual State Organizational State
1 Prompting Single tool, basic prompting, hoping for magic AI awareness emerging
2 Exploring Multiple tools, using pre-made features Tools deployed, experimenting
3 Creating Building custom tools, Digital Twins, GPTs Training complete, champions emerging
4 Orchestrating Workflows, automations, APIs, avatars Cross-functional, governance, integration
5 Mastering All four pillars integrated, teaching others Self-sustaining, competitive advantage

Two measurement indices

SLI: SAVANT Leadership Index

Measures individual AI readiness on a 1–5 scale.

Key transitions we track:

STI: SAVANT Transformation Index

Measures organizational AI maturity across seven dimensions:

  1. Leadership Commitment
  2. Tool Deployment
  3. Training & Enablement
  4. Governance & Policy
  5. Champion Development
  6. Metrics & Accountability
  7. Cultural Adoption

Organizations score 0–14 across these dimensions, revealing where investment is needed.


The Ceiling Insight

Training alone can move individuals to Level 3. It cannot sustainably move them to Levels 4–5.

Why? Because higher levels require:

This means: an individual's SLI is constrained by their organization's STI.

The interaction effects

High SLI + Low STI Frustrated champions—ready but unsupported
Low SLI + High STI Wasted investment—org invested, leaders not adopting
High SLI + High STI Transformation—aligned capability

Most vendors stop at Level 3. We're built to break through the ceiling.

Digital Twin development

The Digital Twin is your entry point to Level 3: Creating. Every engagement produces this concrete outcome: a personalized AI assistant configured for you.

This isn't a generic chatbot. It's configured for:

The Digital Twin becomes the foundation for building more: Custom GPTs, markdown system files, and eventually the automations and workflows of Level 4.

How we engage
