AIM - An OverviewAIM is a guided mentoring process. Its goal is to help you achieve more, with less effort and in a shorter time. It is not a course room training activity. Instead, your AIM consultant works with you at your desk with the live problems and issues you face. This direct, hands on, personalized approach gives AIM an 80% success rate. Success is measured by how well or otherwise you achieve the goal you set following the initial briefing. Your consultant's role is to guide you through the process of discovering how you work most effectively. All we ask of you is to try out each process or tool your consultant introduces. You then jointly review each to assess its effectiveness in your setting. Typically you will work together for three to six months, meeting once a month for approximately one hour. You continue to meet until you feel you have achieved your personal goal. There are no hidden costs to the company in this unlimited follow up process. To help you achieve your goal you are guided through a simple process. It is this process we call AIM. There are a number of stages, leading logically from one to the next. Each stage has a practical outcome, gained as a result of achieving a sharper focus for your energy. Your journey through the process helps you to customize the tools and techniques to suite who you are and the way your brain works. Along the way your consultant provides you with options and alternatives. These help you tune the process to match your personal style and the way your brain handles information. To make the on site personal coaching cost effective your consultant works with a set of 8 participants. For senior managers we may suggested a smaller group size and for junior staff it can be larger. Following this approach we are able to keep the overall cost of a highly personalized mentoring process to about the equivalent cost of doing one day's off site training. We know from experience that 80% of AIM participants experience significant wins, and these are long lasting gains. The change people achieve is not forced or belief driven. Instead, by directly experiencing the benefits of working more effectively their working patterns change. Bad habits fade away as more effective practices come to the fore. |
