In 10 years, AIME as we know it will cease to exist.

This isn't an ending, but a powerful act of regeneration and knowledge transfer.

AIME's intentional death strategy is designed to:

1. Create urgency and focus: With a defined endpoint, we're driven to maximise our impact and fully realise our potential in the time we have.

2. Prevent institutionalisation: By setting a clear end date, we avoid becoming part of the status quo or losing our innovative edge.

3. Encourage knowledge sharing: Our goal is to pass on our learnings, tools, and methodologies to empower others to carry the work forward.

4. Model natural cycles: Just as in nature, death is part of a healthy cycle of renewal and growth. We're embracing this principle in organisational design.

5. Shift focus from survival to legacy: Instead of prioritising organisational longevity, we're concentrating on creating lasting, systemic change.

6. Embody Indigenous wisdom: This approach aligns with Indigenous perspectives on custodianship, cyclical thinking, and passing on knowledge.

7. Stimulate innovation: The deadline pushes us to accelerate our efforts and try bold new approaches.

8. Promote a relational economy: We're demonstrating an alternative to endless growth, focusing instead on building and strengthening relationships.

9. Center marginalised voices: Our strategy aims to elevate and integrate intelligence from those traditionally excluded from power structures.

10. Inspire systemic change: By modeling this approach, we hope to influence how other organisations think about their lifespans and impact.

Through this intentional death strategy, AIME aims to leave behind not just tools and programs, but a profound shift in how we approach organisational life, social change, and our relationship with knowledge and each other.

Our goal is to spark a movement that continues long after AIME itself has passed on the notes, creating a fairer, more imaginative, and more connected world.

Join us in our final decade of reimagining what's possible. Together, let's build a legacy of imagination, mentorship, and systemic change that will flourish long after AIME's intentional sunset.

Your involvement now has the power to shape generations to come.

Let's make every moment count – the clock is ticking, but our impact is timeless.
