FOR OWNER-LED COMPANIES, $2M TO $50M
A team that executes without you in every room.
AiMS Higher™ turns your strategic plan into weekly commitments, tracks whether they actually happen, and puts an always-available coach into every leader’s rhythm. The capacity is already inside your team. This is the system that unlocks it.
Most plans don’t fail. They fade.
Most management systems were built for episodes. Quarterly sessions, weekly meetings, a binder, a facilitator. They come to life when someone drives them and fade when that person steps back. But your business makes decisions every day, in the moments between the scheduled conversations. Consultants visit. This stays.
The plan lives in a slide deck
Strategy gets built in an offsite and never touches Monday morning. By the time the team is heads-down on the week, the plan is a PDF nobody opens.
Commitments evaporate
People agree to things in meetings, nobody writes them down the same way, and by next week the agreement is a memory. There is no shared source of truth.
You can’t see follow-through
You know who feels busy, but not who actually does what they said they would. The signal you need to lead is the one you can’t see.
The system leaves with the driver
When the facilitator, the implementer, or the founder steps back, the structure goes with them. Everything routes back to you, and you become the answer to every question the system was supposed to hold.
You’re already paying for a management system. In pieces.
Growing companies spend $63K to $228K a year on fragments that each solve one piece and leave you holding it together.
AI subscriptions and tools, $12K to $60K a year
Individual productivity goes up. Insights live in personal chat threads. The organization stays exactly as dependent on you as before.
The tech stack, $19K to $48K a year
Project management, communications, documentation. You get task visibility, but you stay the escalation point, and the documentation decays the day someone stops maintaining it.
Implementers and coaches, $30K to $120K a year
Strong sessions. Then the knowledge drives away with the implementer, and nothing reinforces the work between visits.
None of these hold it together. AiMS Higher™ replaces the pile with one always-on system, for a fraction of what the fragments cost. Pricing is part of the first conversation.
Built inside a real business, not a workshop.
Jeff Bouwman was running a $200M company with 600 people. Annual planning was in place, metrics were tracked, reviews happened, targets were set. And the targets were missed, year after year, while everything routed back to the founder.
The unlock didn’t come from a new framework. It came from a different question: not what do we need to do, but what do we already know that will work? He stopped solving alone and asked the room. The knowledge was already in the organization. It needed a system that could reach it. That became the AiMS Approach: $100M in new business, five warehouses eliminated, targets hit months early. AiMS Higher™ is that system, built into software.
WEEKLY RHYTHM
Stop being the follow-up department.
Every agreement your team makes lands in one list, tracked to done, with kept and missed and the reasons in people’s own words. The follow-through rate makes accountability visible without shame, and you stop spending your week chasing what people already said they’d do.
MEETING INTELLIGENCE
Your meetings do their own admin.
Drop a transcript in a folder. The platform analyzes the meeting, drafts the summary, and adds the commitments people made, automatically. The team gets the list by email before lunch, nothing falls through, and nobody had to be the person writing everything down. Nothing else on the calendar changes.
INTERACTIVE COACHING
Every leader gets a coach. Not just the ones who report to you.
Aimee is an always-available coach trained on the tools AiMS advisors use to unlock capacity, grounded in your team’s real execution data: their commitments, their follow-through, their reasons. Your leaders get developed between your conversations, not only during them. Every conversation is private to the person who starts it.
ONE-PAGE PLAN
Know if the plan is moving without asking anyone.
Purpose, vision, focus areas, annual goals, quarterly actions, weekly commitments, each level hanging from the one above. Progress rolls up on its own, so the dashboard tells the truth about the quarter before the quarter is over.
Everything the AiMS Approach needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

Common questions
No. AiMS Higher™ runs the AiMS Approach, an always-on operating system built around appreciative inquiry, weekly follow-through, and embedded coaching. If you have run EOS or Scaling Up, the concepts will feel familiar and the difference shows up in what happens between meetings.
