On Saturday, April 18, Dr. Byron Fiman shared with the OCA group his Accelerate Implementation Methodology, or AIM.

Dr. Fiman was very generous with information, and included success factors and barriers that he had studied over the years.  He suggested that at the beginning of a project, we identify strengths and barriers based on a survey of history – since history is the best predictor of the future.

The Road Map for change included 10 AIM steps:

1. Define the Change
2. Assess the Climate
3. Identify Change Approach
4. Generate Sponsorship
5. Develop Target Readiness
6. Create Cultural Fit
7. Build Agent Capacity
8. Develop Reinforcement Strategy
9. Build Communication Plan
10. Prioritize Action

Dr. Fiman also provided each attendee with a copy of the Sponsor Assessment, which included Expressed, Modeled, and Reinforced behaviors that change sponsors should demonstrate in order to successfully implement strategy.
