Implementing is what sets AEII apart from the competition. It is rather easy to identify the problems … even the root cause of the problem. It is also simple to design a program, plan, or strategy, and just tell you what to do …
What is challenging is making the changes happen ! This is our specialty and expertise.
Changing people’s actions and habits are fundamentally the greatest challenges when implementation begins. “Any change is fine until it affects what I do.” is a common scenario that we deal with in almost every engagement.
We first recommend three books (or audio) to our clients that will establish a core understanding of the challenges they face in attempting to implement change in their own organization.

Most Implementation Programs are custom designed to your individual needs, however they do at times have similarities. The following programs may provide you with an insight of what is available:
The Analysis is only the first step to making the necessary changes for the future, it does not implement the suggested changes. Most clients elect to continue our involvement with implementation and development of their staff for their organization. This involvement may include return visits each month, bi-monthly or each quarter. The development of an action plan, accountability list, and monthly coaching calls are included in these implementation programs.
Any program designed is based on the number of return visits days and their frequency. Even though most implementation programs are customized to meet the client’s needs, the following programs are standards which to begin:

Why is it that some organizations boast high Paint and Materials Gross Profit Percentages exceeding 40% while others hope to break even ? Why are some able to contain costs to below 6% of sales ? From examining facilities across North America, one conclusion can be reached: Those that succeed in getting the highest gross profits and reduced costs manage the department well and understand the factors that control the profitability in this department.
These areas are examined in-depth during generally a one day on-site visit called a Target Analysis™. This analysis becomes the basis for establishing a Cost Containment Agreement and implementation through The SMART Program™.
