AIMasters

AIM Implementation Management Methodology

AIMasters are highly experienced individuals who are the “black belts” of AIM. To reach the elite AIMaster status, individuals must:

• Complete formal learning through Accreditation
• Have experience applying AIM to internal projects and initiatives
• Demonstrate competent performance in developing specific AIM deliverables, under the guidance of an IMA consultant

AIMasters can be leveraged across the enterprise in two ways:

• To serve as mentors for others on critical initiatives
• To ensure implementation success when they are active team members 

Organizations that develop a cadre of AIMasters can expect to accelerate results, achieve intended ROI, and meet all initiative objectives on time and on budget - creating competitive advantage.

Individuals who have completed the formal pre-requisites and who have had experience applying AIM to organizational initiatives may choose to become AIMasters.

Pre-Requisites

• Completion of either the Introduction to AIM program or a Project Workshop
• Accreditation
• A Rights to Use or a Rights to Reproduce License

Becoming an AIMaster

Future AIMasters are given a Performance Checklist detailing AIMaster requirements.

Select performances require observation by an IMA consultant; others are deliverables that must be reviewed and approved by an IMA consultant before receiving sign-off.

Benefits to Organization

• Provides internal expertise in AIM that can be leveraged on business critical initiatives across the enterprise
• Enables broader application of AIM, accelerating Return on Investment and accomplishment of all project objectives
• Develops a core of experts that can serve as mentors to less-experienced AIM users
• Limits external dependency, pushing expertise out from IMA to the enterprise
