Apply AIM to your live change initiative.
Not a course about the methodology. A working session where your project team applies AIM to its own initiative and walks out with a readiness assessment, a reinforcement plan, and a gap list, before go-live.
Applied to your team's real, live initiative.
Team-based. The people who own the initiative attend.
Produces a working implementation plan.
Delivered onsite or as a private virtual session.
The team that owns the initiative
Because the work is applied to one shared initiative, the people who own that initiative attend together.
Initiative leads and project managers
The people accountable for delivering the change and its adoption.
PMO and program teams
The teams coordinating the initiative across the organization.
Sponsors and change agents
The sponsors and agents who will carry adoption through the cascade.
Stakeholders accountable for adoption
The stakeholders who own whether the change lands, not just whether it ships.
Scored against the five readiness elements
The workshop uses the Target Readiness framework to find which element is missing for each target group, then turns that into action.
Information
Do the target groups know what is changing, and why it matters to them?
Willingness
Do they have a reason to adopt, or are the old incentives still pulling against the change?
Ability
Do they have the skills and tools the new way of working requires?
Confidence
Do they believe they can succeed in the new state?
Control
Did they have a say in how the change is rolled out?
Why run it before go-live
Installation is not implementation, and most adoption failures are set in motion before launch. Surfacing readiness and resistance gaps while the plan is still flexible is far less costly than rescuing a stalled rollout after the fact.
Work products you leave with
A readiness assessment
Your initiative scored against the five Target Readiness elements, so you know exactly where adoption is at risk.
A reinforcement plan
Rewards and consequences aligned to the new behaviors, so reinforcement is activated early rather than after drift.
A documented gap list
Resistance and readiness gaps surfaced before deployment, while there is still time to act on them.
