AIM’s approach
• What is the change in behaviours wanted?
– Why
• Who wants the change?
– Why
• Is “formal” training the best solution?
• Accredited v non accredited?
– Why
• What is the learning style that will suite the group?
• Tell me about the group to be trained
• How will the group be supported in the changes required?
• How do you know it worked?
