Marilyn, Mick and I attended an all-staff lunch at AIM Vic/Tas today. The purpose of the lunch was to celebrate the success of the iMIS project and the successes of AIM generally in the 2006 year. About 60 people all up were in attendance, and included an opening address by the AIM CEO and a follow up vote of thanks from the AIM President/Chairman.

Susan (AIM's CEO) gave particular thanks to Eddie and the AIM/IMS project team, and made special mention of our own Marilyn as being outstanding. Richard (AIM's President), who is a Partner at KPMG, also made special mention of the iMIS project, and in particular that it was delivered on-time and on-budget, and just how important that was to the Board and the organisation generally. He has been involved before in numerous IT/CRM implementations and knew from experience what a challenge they can be, so his congratulations to the project team were from a position of knowledge.

Aside from iMIS, AIM had a great year, with profits up over 100% from the 2005 year, and significant progress made in the execution of it's 2005-2008 strategy - in fact they are almost a year ahead of delivering on that strategy. So great news all around!
