Introduction:
Association of Applied Information Management Professionals (AIMP) is an institution set up purposely for developing professionals that would transform the global economic through Knowledge of information application and management in global micro-economy. This vision can’t be achieved without training and developing digitally oriented minds that will aid in developing the nation with their knowledge of Information Communication and Technology. As an institute set out for this sole purpose, we need to lay emphasis on raising Administrators, Managers and Personnel who will sustain the new age in order to support humanity in its quest to change cultural, political, socio-economical activities of all human race.
Importance & Role of Association of Applied Information Management Professional (AIMP) as a digital management institute in the development of the nation
Association of Applied Information Management Professional (AIMP) as a Digital Management Institute can help raise individuals by impacting them with professional digital skills therefore, creating individuals who can help in the development of the nation, Many individuals are problem identifiers and not problem solvers i.e. with our professional classes we can be able to denote problems worth solving and therefore solving it, making Association of Applied Information Management Professional (AIMP) better and the nation at large great.
As stated in the organization Aims and Objectives which is, to serve as the central body of authority for those engaged or about to engage in the field of applied information management. To Develop and create leadership studies that identify the aspect of information technology and applied information management of human resources in public and private services. If we train digitally oriented minds, This can help solve some of the issues in our early stated Potential of Binary which are information and communication technology.
WE HAVE 5 KEYS TO DIGITAL MINDSET
In boardrooms around the world “digital” is on everyone’s lips. But while executives ask questions like, “what´s our strategy in relation to mobility, social media, the cloud or big data?” their answers are often limited to only addressing the impact of each trend on a certain aspect of running their business. What´s really needed is a better grasp of the deeper, ongoing mega-shift which is utterly transforming the very nature of our societies and businesses, and of which mobility, social media, the cloud and big data are mere manifestations. True digital leadership requires an entirely new mind-set.
Based on conversations with executives and reviews of a number of cases on digital transformation, I´ve gathered together the qualities, practices and approaches of the digitally minded leader. I have found that there are at least five important dimensions that make up the digital mind-set. They may seem paradoxical or contradictory, but they are crucial to dealing with the digital transformation upon us.
1. Provide Vision yet Empower Others
Digitally minded leaders need to cast the vision for how the company should evolve in this new age of digital transformation, while at the same time supporting the grass roots initiatives of employees to translate this high-level vision into on-the-ground action.
This means fostering an organizational environment where employees are safe to experiment with their ideas, and where learning from their experimentations are systematically captured, analyzed and acted-upon.
2. Give up control yet architect choices
Empowering employees by giving up control doesn´t mean leaders stop being in the driver´s seat. Instead of sticking to rigid rules, leaders should seek to influence outcomes more through the way they design and present the choices to those best suited to make the decisions and carry out the tasks.
Richard H Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein describe this approach in their 2008 book, Nudge, suggesting that leaders become “choice architects”. An easy way of understanding this is by making the option you want become the default choice, so people have to opt out of doing something instead of affirmatively choosing to opt in. This would seem the best approach to take regarding employees´ use of social media at work. Instead of outright banning such behaviour, digitally minded leaders could provide gentle policy nudges, offering positive advice on what kind of content should be shared and where it makes most sense to share it. In short they should build the “choice architecture” that promotes social media use modes that not only minimize risks but also generate value for the company.
3. Sustain yet disrupt
For most organizations, digital transformation will be a multi-step journey, with some steps enhancing and extending the firm´s existing capabilities, while others will be disruptive, stirring up internal rifts and undermining skills and competencies that everyone worked so hard to master. Digitally minded leaders need to mitigate conflicts and serve as a bridge between the old and the new.
The Old must be sustained to ensure ongoing operations and profitability, as well as providing a foundation for the future blended business model. Sustaining the old brings a sense of stability, which will help employees cope with uncertainty as they start to develop new skills and capabilities.
The New needs to be shielded, as it is often vulnerable to traditional metrics and evaluation criteria, which opponents will wield like weapons: killing an idea for a disruptive digital transformation initiative due to lack of direct Return of Investment (ROI) is a common tactic.
4. Rely on data yet trust your intuition
As a digitally minded leader, the goal is to move managerial discourse away from contentious turf wars of opinions, toward a reasoned conversation based on facts and experimental measurements. Data is a key when decision-making. But the digital mind-set doesn´t rule out judgment and intuition. Data are often historical in nature, and may not always serve as an accurate predictor of the future, especially in rapidly changing environments. Intuition plays a role in envisioning the future, helping leaders to formulate hypotheses and define assumptions to decide which data types and resources to focus on, and how to combine, analyze and interpret them, in today´s endless sea of information.
5. Be sceptical yet open-minded
As well as encouraging experimentation throughout the organization, digitally minded leaders will embrace the try-it-and-see approach in their personal lives. Jumping on the next digital bandwagon, if only to realize it is not for you may not be such a bad idea, so long as there is a bigger objective – which is to engage in an exercise of active sense-making, forming new meanings of what technology affords us to do across contexts and experiences.
So be sceptical, but see it and prove it for yourself. There is no substitute for sharing in the same experiences that your customers and employees are going through. Step out of your comfort zones and embrace the opposites.
In some cases the need to manage all these paradoxes may warrant the full-time attention of a dedicated individual, necessitating the appointment of a Chief Digital Officer. However, just as blending of the physical and digital worlds does not respect boundaries, neither does the imperative for digitally minded leadership reside in one individual. Everyone needs to step out of their comfort zones and embrace the opposites: short term vs. long term, old vs. new, control vs. empowerment. This is not easy, and many may drag their feet. But we are convinced that it is this ability to become equally adept at using both sides of one´s leadership brain that will determine the success of digital transformation in your organization and, to a large extent, your success as a business leader in a blended, digitally dense world.
In Conclusion:
Information Management and Communication Technology are summarized under the three (3) elements directories as shown below:
Digital Rights:
• The impact of disruptive technology on human rights, working conditions, legal
protections, and the amplification of existing inequalities.
• The use of digital technology to enhance participation and access for women and minority
groups.
• improving access to and the quality of government services (taxation, voting, justice, visas,
healthcare, etc.).
• Digital documentation, data vaulting and digital security of official documents (e.g. passports, birth
certificates)
• improving participation in civil life and access to justice and democratic institutions
Smart Communities:
• Monitoring and management of terrestrial and coastal environmental services
• Monitoring and management of pollution (e.g. green house gases, waste, plastic, air),
including hazard forecasting and early-warning systems
• Inclusive circular economies, recycling and the management of industrial and municipal
waste in urban environments
• Access, management and monitoring of drinking water and sanitation in rural and urban
settings
• Urban traffic management and vehicle pollution
Digital Health:
• Availability, access and management of patient information and health communications
• Reporting, monitoring and controlling the spread of infectious disease
• Managing healthcare for remote communities: telemedicine, access to diagnostic
medicine, monitoring health, and effective distribution of medicines for remote and/or
isolated communities
The online forum participants also commented on areas of digital research and potential
frontier technologies involved in addressing the challenges they raised and applicants
should confront the opportunities and shortcomings they present. These includes:
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Data Science, FinTech, the Internet of Things,
Mobile and Wearable Technologies, Remote/Orbital Sensing and Virtual and Augmented
Reality. The ‘repackaging’ of existing digital technologies where their impact is already
demonstrable was also discussed.
Having understood this, Association of Applied Information Management Professional
(AIMP) has an Important role to play on developing Individuals who are digitally oriented
by training them!

EXAMINATION IMPLEMENTATION MODEL
Proposed guide for AIMP Robust Membership Model
A membership model is a type of business plan where individuals pay a recurring fee to access the value an organization creates. It provides the design for different membership levels, revenue sources, marketing activities, events and conferences, and finances.
Some examples of organizations that use a membership model include:
Clubs (swim club, tennis club, gym club, etc.)
Professional Associations (writing association, engineering association, nursing association, etc.)
Nonprofits (foundations, churches, charities, etc.)
Businesses (online courses, Costco, Amazon Prime, etc.)
The 6 Steps to Create a Successful Membership Model
Step 1: Understand your own organization
Step 2: Be clear on your offerings to your stakeholders
Step 3: Align your organization’s mission, vision, and goals with your stakeholders
Step 4: Weigh your membership structure
Step 5: Dig deep into Return on Investment (ROI) when setting membership price levels
Step 6: Formalize and stay on top of your marketing plan
Choose the right membership management tool for your organization
A membership model is a type of business plan where individuals pay a recurring fee to access the value an organization creates. It provides the design for different membership levels, revenue sources, marketing activities, events and conferences, and finances.

Professional Associations (writing association, engineering association, nursing association, etc.)
Nonprofits (foundations, churches, charities, etc.)
Businesses (online courses, Costco, Amazon Prime, etc.)
The top membership organizations often attribute their success to formalizing a membership model early on. If you haven’t created one for your organization yet, the sooner you do, the sooner you may realize:
Increased membership
Increased member engagement
Increased member retainment
Increased event attendance
A higher percentage of on-time dues payment
High revenue growth
Below are some of the benefits when using a membership model:
Stable Cash Flow: Because members pay monthly dues, it’s fairly simple to calculate and forecast cash flow.
Lower Marketing Costs: Once you gain a new member, you don’t have to spend more money marketing to them again. This is the opposite of a product-driven business model, where you must keep advertising your products to the same market in order to sell them.
Lower Costs of Business: Since the value you create can be scaled for all members (networking events, online resources, etc.), your costs of producing products/services are lower than other types of business models.
Fast, Direct Feedback from Members: If your membership services are off, it’s easy to tell. Members will stop coming to events, stop visiting your website, and stop reading your emails. Plus members are more likely to share feedback with you, because it’s in their interest to keep the organization providing high value, especially for professional associations, since networking opportunities, certification, and education may be tied to their career.
The Ability to Change a Community: I’ve seen many membership managers provide high-value resources (workshops, events, certification, etc.) to thousands of members, essentially uplifting a whole community of like-minded individuals. This is on top of all the networking opportunities exchanged through members.
Access to Exclusive Data: Organizations that build a community are able to track member behaviour — which events they’re interested in, how often they open emails, etc. Understanding this data presents an opportunity to fine-tune your membership model to gain more members, reduce costs, and increase member retention.
Additional Revenue Opportunities: On top of member dues, members can also be sold merchandise (like hats and shirts), and will pay for events. If you have enough members, you can also gain sponsorship from companies wishing to advertise to your members.
While the above benefits are good for an organization, membership models also create an easy way to increase member happiness by catering to their exact needs.
Once you know what type of organization you’re creating, you’re ready to create your membership model.
