Long-Term Capability in Action

A Government Health Agency Started With AIM Training — and Never Stopped

They started with facilitated AIM programs. As a natural next step, we certified their trainers and helped them build an internal Center of Excellence, enabling full internal delivery without outside facilitation.

Find Your Starting Point

How AIM Supports Mergers, Rollouts & Restructuring

Most change initiatives are triggered by a specific event: a system rollout, a restructuring, a merger, or a strategy shift. Find your situation below.

The Implementation Journey

How AIM Turns Change Into Lasting Adoption: The 8-Step Process

A research-based 8-step process, not a training checklist. Each step builds on the last to move from leadership commitment through full organizational adoption.

Phase 1 — Foundation, Leadership Commitment and Readiness
1

Implementation History Assessment

Past performance predicts future success. The IHA reveals patterns that will accelerate or derail this initiative before it starts. Surfaces organizational baggage before it becomes a blocker.

IHA ToolWeek 1
2

Leadership Alignment and Contracting

Leaders contract on the 6 Non-Delegable Tasks they must personally perform — not delegate to project managers. Establishes sponsor roles, the cascade plan, and visible commitment.

Executive BriefingWeek 2
3

Business Case for Action

Leaders articulate What is changing, Why now, and Consequences — translated into each affected population's Frame of Reference. Not a generic communication plan. A sponsor behavior.

Frame of Reference
4

Change Agent Development

Internal change agents are trained and certified, building sustainable capability — not external dependency. This is where your organization starts running the methodology independently.

Target Readiness Assessment

The 5 Readiness Elements — Information, Willingness, Ability, Confidence, and Control — are assessed across all populations. Targeted interventions address specific gaps, not blanket communications.

Delivery Model Integration

AIM integrates into Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid delivery models — adding change management discipline without adding bureaucracy. SAFe-ready and designed for iterative environments.

7

Reinforcement Strategy Activation

Leaders activate reinforcement systems — aligning recognition, resources, and consequences with desired behaviors. Reinforcement has 3x the impact of communication. This step is non-optional.

Monitoring and Course Correction

Implementation does not end at go-live. Adoption KPIs are monitored until new behaviors become organizational habit. Your internal team runs this independently after initial deployment.

The AIM Difference

Why Most Implementations Fail — and What Actually Fixes It

Most change efforts invest heavily in communication and training, then wonder why people revert. The research is clear: what leaders say about a change has one-third the impact of what they reinforce. AIM is built around that finding.

1x
Express What leaders say
2x
Model What leaders do
3x
Reinforce What leaders reward

If organizations continue rewarding old behaviors through performance reviews, resource allocation, and promotions, people will return to old behaviors regardless of training or communication. Changing the reinforcement system is the mechanism through which installation becomes implementation.

What to Expect

From First Assessment to Full Deployment in Under 3 Months

Organizations that move through the full AIM implementation training sequence are typically operational within 12 weeks. Monitoring and course correction is ongoing, but your team runs it independently.
