Transition Success
The A.I.M* & Deliver Transition programme is a one to one programme that begins even before they start their role. Through a structured sequence of 7 modules, the programme aims to accelerate the adaptation process by focusing on aligning expectations, role reframing, stakeholder mapping, understanding relationship dynamics, focusing on early wins and then how to build your leadership brand with a future focus.
*Alignment, Immersion, Mapping
Expert Coaches
The carefully selected transition coaches are immersed in the organisation’s ways of working in advance, learning from recent hires and exit interviews – what are the challenges a new leader faces, what support helps, what are watch outs and when are the pinch points.
AIM Transition programme offers More Than just coaching – this is targeted, specific support in a robust structured programme but also offering a 24/7 lifeline to those leaders at critical moments during their first 6 months.
Why Executive Transitions Matter
A failed senior executive or director hire in the UK can cost between 150% and 400% of their annual salary.
When a key hire leaves, the impact extends far beyond the role itself — affecting cost control, supplier relationships, delivery timelines and team stability.
Successfully transitioning a senior external hire requires more than standard onboarding. It demands strategic integration focused on accelerating relationships, cultural immersion and clear expectations.
This is particularly important in organisations that are complex, fast paced and relationship driven.
