What's the level of impact your change management methodology is having on the organization? How can you assess how deeply embedded the methodology is across the enterprise? 
The AIM (Accelerating Implementation Methodology) maturity curve can help you assess where you are today (the current state), and define where you would like to be (the desired future state.) Then you can use "AIM on AIM" to identify tactics and strategies for achieving the future you seek to see.
If you are stuck at a low level of maturity, you can see if you have the sponsorship you need to build to a higher maturity level.
The maturity curve for the AIM change management methodology is a 5 phase continuum from Introduction to Optimization:
Phase 1 Introduction via Education
- Introduction to the change management methodology via formal learning
- Lowest level of ROI
Phase 2 Adhoc Application
- Learning is programmatic
- Spotty deployment; a "mosaic"
- ROI is a function of independent application on discrete projects
Phase 3 Project Level Strategy
- Critical mass of champions
- Deployed as a purposeful strategy for increasing readiness
- Accredited change agents build a community of practice
- ROI depends on disciplined deployment
Phase 4 Enterprise/Program Level Strategy
- The change management methodology is the implementation standard
- Sponsors hold and reinforce expectations re: the use of the change management methodology
- It is fully integrated with project management on complex enterprisewide change programs
- ROI is expected and implementation results are predictable and measurable
Phase 5 Optimization
- Expectations and practices are institutionalized
- Methodology transfer is complete
- ROI for sunk costs and future investment greatest
Where are you on the maturity curve? Where do you want to be? How will you get there?
