AIM Change Training Programs and AIM Certification/Accreditation & Licensing

INTRODUCTION TO AIM

Participants apply learning to their change projects either independently or in small teams and take away an assessment of their organization's cultural risks, operationalized tactics and strategies, core tools, a new vocabulary, and informed insights into what AIM will deliver for your organization

The Introduction to AIM 2-day program is an excellent option if you:

Want an overview of fundamental change management and how to apply it to projects
Need to build a "critical mass of champions" for your initiatives across your organization
Aren't sure where to start on the change management journey
Want to test the waters to see if this is the right change management methodology for your organization

Deliverables Include plans and action items to:

Create a clear and compelling business case for your initiative
Obtain and sustain key sponsorship
Identify and mitigate resistance
Ensure effective communication occurs at all levels
Build reinforcement strategies that sustain your objectives

PROJECT PLANNING WORKSHOP

One or two of your intact core project teams together for 3 days learning AIM fundamentals, and working collaboratively on their change management deliverables. It's applied learning, real time, allowing you to accomplish in a few days what could take weeks otherwise. It's not downtime; it's work time!

The Project Planning Workshop is tailored to your project lifecycle and starts your team on key human-side work products, including:

Developing a clear, compelling Change Definition, including impacts, "human objectives," and anticipated disruptions
Identifying the key roles of Sponsors, Reinforcing Sponsors, and Change Agents, and building a Key Role Map visualizing required resources and timing
Starting work on critical strategies for Building Readiness, Sponsorship, Communication, and Reinforcement

EXECUTIVE BRIEFINGS

Too often, senior leaders assume that “change” is for others. They don’t recognize the need to play a visible, active role as Sponsors. What’s more, they aren’t aware of what they personally need to do to accelerate success.

The potential for implementation success increases exponentially once they know expectations, and agree to behaviorally cascade commitment to their own direct reports. That’s why this 3-4 hour session has such a dramatic impact on the speed and business outcomes of projects!

Every Executive Briefing is business-focused, tailored to your needs, and built around data on your own past history of implementation.

Content includes:

The important difference between "installation” and “implementation", how this affects value realization and how to maximize ROI
What leaders must do to express, model and reinforce the right sponsor behaviors to accelerate success
Why leaders control the pace of change as opposed to the activity level of project teams

SPONSORSHOPS

You can feel the potential for acceleration when all the Sponsors for your project are aligned and demonstrating their personal commitment to the change every day! That’s why the 1 day SponsorShop session is so valuable. What’s more, better Sponsors are better leaders. In a matter of hours, we build both awareness and competence, all focused on your project and your organization. The program is built around your data on past implementation practices, and includes a personal assessment of each participant’s strengths and developmental opportunities to become more effective Sponsors.

It’s interactive, fast-paced, and includes:

The difference between “installation and implementation”
What is Sponsorship, and how Sponsor behavior drives implementation success
How Sponsorship impacts the other key elements of the AIM methodology, including Readiness, Communication, and Reinforcement
A time-bound action plan to drive personal behavior change
