2025 AI Readiness Report

What’s working, what’s missing, and how the channel can respond

Climb Channel Solutions’ 2025 AI Readiness Report reveals how 600 AI and IT decision makers in large organisations across the UK, Ireland, and Germany are using AI today, and where the gaps in adoption still lie.

This independent survey goes beyond the headlines to show what’s really happening inside organisations. It explores AI adoption maturity, the barriers holding organisations back, and the opportunities AI is opening up in areas such as security and sustainability. The results are designed to help partners, vendors, and end-users understand where AI is delivering value, and where support is most needed.

What’s inside the report:

• How organisations are adopting AI – and how many admit they’re not yet getting full value
• Regional contrasts in readiness across the UK, Ireland, and Germany
• The barriers organisations say are slowing progress, from security concerns to leadership misalignment
• The surprising role AI is already playing in ESG and sustainability strategies
• What employees really think: job losses, job creation, and whether AI adoption is moving too quickly
