AIM is built by Dr. Matt Barney, a psychologist and measurement scientist who has spent two decades building measurement systems inside operating companies.
Dr. Barney's work spans industrial-organizational psychology, psychometrics, and machine learning. He led people analytics and measurement at Motorola, Sutter Health, and Infosys, and is the author of Leading Value Creation and peer-reviewed work on measurement, metrology, and AI. The method behind AIM is published, not proprietary folklore.
The scholarly record is public:
"Dr. Barney's multi-disciplinary approach draws from different business disciplines to develop an integrated model for value creation. It will serve as a guide to leaders in creating value on a sustainable basis."
N. R. Narayana Murthy, Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Infosys
"Dr. Matt Barney is a blue chip of the consulting world. As an experienced business leader he has the instinct to know what works in practice and what doesn't; yet, he also understands the limits of personal knowledge and draws on science-based practices when needed. Those who work with Matt can be sure of one thing. His advice will not only be relevant but it will also be rigorous."
Professor John Antonakis, University of Lausanne; Editor-in-Chief, Leadership Quarterly
