Durham, United States - September 27, 2026 / IMA Worldwide /

PORTLAND, Ore., September 25, 2026.

IMA Worldwide will host a four-day AIM Practitioner Certification program in Portland, Oregon, running October 12 through 15, 2026. The program trains change management professionals to apply the company's Accelerating Implementation Methodology (AIM) to organizational change and AI adoption initiatives.

The program is designed for a range of professionals, including change managers, change practitioners, change leads, change agents, and transformation leaders. It also serves HR and organizational effectiveness professionals, program and portfolio leaders, technology and AI transformation teams, and practitioners supporting organizational change in broader capacities.

Don Harrison, founder and creator of AIM, developed the methodology around four core drivers of sustained change adoption: sponsorship, readiness, resistance, and reinforcement.

IMA Worldwide delivers the program through an Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP) Qualified Education Provider, meaning completed hours count toward Certified Change Management Professional (CCMP) requirements. No prior change management certification is required for attendance. Participants are encouraged to bring an active organizational initiative - such as a technology rollout, an AI adoption effort, a reorganization, or a merger integration - and apply AIM concepts directly to it throughout the four days.

Sessions run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily at The Bidwell, a Marriott hotel located at 520 Southwest Broadway in Portland. Tuition is $3,500 per participant, and seating for the in-person cohort is limited. Participants who complete the program earn the AIM Practitioner credential, which includes a digital LinkedIn badge, based on applied work completed during the four days.

Dr. Jennifer Vernam leads the Portland session. She brings more than 27 years of healthcare experience along with more than 20 years in organizational training, leadership development, and change management.

Registration and full program details, including hotel booking information, are available at IMA Worldwide AIM Practitioner Certification - Portland. Questions about the program can be directed to IMA Worldwide at [email protected] or 513-689-3381.
