CPH/May 1, 2026
Self-Assessment

Where is CPH today?
Eight questions. One number.

Score each statement from 0 (not at all) to 3 (we live here already). At the bottom: a layer score and the recommended next move on the roadmap below.

Q1 A majority of staff use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini at work, weekly.
Q2 AI tools assist deal flow — RFQs, quoting, market intel.
Q3 Shipment / customs documents are extracted automatically.
Q4 Customer / principal calls are auto-summarised into the CRM.
Q5 AI tools write back into Dynamics — not just read from it.
Q6 Non-engineers build their own internal tools.
Q7 AI literacy / training is in place for every role.
Q8 Internal documents are searchable / queryable by AI (RAG).
Roadmap

Crawl  ·  Walk  ·  Run.
One year. Three layers. No waiting on IT.

  1. Q1 · CRAWL

    Layer 1  ·  Chatbot 2 All.

    Get every employee literate in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Make AI use the default, not the exception.

    • Give everyone access to 2–3 frontier chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini).
    • Hand each person 10 starter prompts relevant to their role — the cases from Layer 1.
    • Start asking the workforce questions they can only answer with AI — pace the literacy by demand, not by training.
    KPI · 70%+ weekly active. ≥ 3 hrs / person / week saved.
  2. Q2–Q3 · WALK

    Layer 2  ·  Core Processes Native AI.

    Surround Dynamics with off-the-shelf AI apps, one process at a time. Same four steps, every time.

    1. Step 1 · Map the core processes. Logistics · Trade & Fin. · Sales / Agency — and the activities inside each.
    2. Step 2 · Map AI-native apps to each element. Pick best-of-breed from the working catalogue.
    3. Step 3 · Stitch the apps together. Shared context, cross-tool hand-offs, human-in-the-loop.
    4. Step 4 · Stitch back to Microsoft Dynamics. Read first, write later — every entry audited and citable.
    KPI · 50% PDF-typing eliminated. 30+ outbound meetings / mo. 1 disruption averted.
  3. Q4 · RUN

    Layer 3  ·  Freedom 2 All.

    Seed the org with builders. Let demonstration — not training — pull the rest of the company forward.

    • Pick 4–5 people across functions and make them masters of Claude Code.
    • Have them show off in all-hands and team meetings — disposable apps, agents, dashboards, built live.
    • Their job is to educate by doing: every shipped tool is a teaching moment for the rest of the org.
    KPI · ≥ 10 internal apps in production. ≥ 1 net-new revenue line attributable to Layer-3 builders.

“Dynamics tries to force the world into a rigid spreadsheet.
An AI-native stack thrives in the chaos of global chemical trading.”
