Our Experience and Guiding Principles

Experience
Since 1990, we have helped our customers manage their talent by providing employee assessment and development solutions. Our staff averages over 18 years of consulting experience working with top-notch organizations such as General Motors, GlaxoSmithKline, Union Pacific, Lucent Technologies, ADI, Wilson Learning Worldwide, and Pillsbury. Our President, Robert W. Adams, before founding AIMM, helped build one of the largest and most successful assessment firms in the world, Assessment Designs, International (ADI).

Ingenuity
We offer the consulting expertise to ensure that you choose the right mix of instruments to maximize your investment and to provide you with a more complete picture of individual and group talent, e.g., skills, competencies, technical knowledge, personality, or work style. Our programs are unique in that they help you hire, promote, retain, and develop only the highest quality talent allowing you to compete more effectively in today's demanding business environment.

Quality
AIMM is the only consulting firm today offering comprehensive, integrated assessment products and services that are tailored for your environment without the high costs associated with custom design. We add value by leveraging the power of the internet for flexibility and anywhere-anytime access. Our tools are researched and field-tested, meeting the highest standards of quality, validity and reliability.

Philosophy
We believe in action learning- active adult learning. Our development-based assessment programs feature powerful and practical diagnostic experiences and challenges. We pinpoint personal strengths and development opportunities. We engage individuals and groups in performance-based activities to ensure effective and seamless transfer of learning to the workplace. We believe that real learning and behavioral change takes place over time and in the midst of day-to-day activities, not in the sterile classroom environment. We help individuals understand and see how they can gain long-term success using small, intermediate steps.

Valid and Legal
Your assessment programs are chosen or built using your job content and organizational characteristics including performance skills, competencies, business strategy, marketplace, and culture. This process establishes clear content-validity. We believe so strongly in the validity and reliability of these programs that we encourage you to involve us in legal issues and challenges.

Quick
We challenge ourselves to deliver fast and reliable services. We can respond to most assessment needs with just a two week notice. Results are turned around just as fast. AIMM's staff understands that organizations must be able to act NOW.

Before you trust anyone else to work with your people, ask yourself these simple questions.

Are their assessment tools chosen or designed to match your job and organization success factors? We work with you to gather the necessary job and organization information from your subject-matter experts. We choose or design your program using this information. Your assessment systems should reflect the uniqueness of your culture, marketplace, and business strategy. This process is important because it helps to ensure meaningful and accurate diagnosis, e.g., targeted development needs for development programs and a better person-job match for selection programs.
