Interested in learning more about membership in SIMA International?
Two forms of membership in SIMA International are available: Full and Associate.
Full members of SIMA highly value our proprietary tool SIMA® (System to Identify Motivated Abilities) and commit to its use in all their work. A Full Member agrees that their business is linked extensively with SIMA® and pays royalties on all of their business revenue in exchange for the use of SIMA® and to be able to brand as a SIMA International company. The Full member has organization voting rights.
Associate Members desire greater flexibility in their use of SIMA® and may use it in conjunction with other tools and services. The Associate Member pays royalties just on the portion of business utilizing SIMA® or its associated products. Associate Members do not have organization voting rights.
SII (SIMA International) Application Requirements
Motivated Abilities Pattern (MAP®)
All prospective members must have a SII Motivated Abilities Pattern (MAP®) and feedback session. The MAP® helps both SIMA and the prospective member evaluate best use within SII (SIMA International). It also ensures that the prospective member has firsthand, personal experience with SIMA®.
The expense associated with completion of the SII MAP® is the responsibility of the prospective member. Completion of the MAP can occur at any time during the application process, but must be completed prior to full membership.
Application Process:
A prospective member completes an application along with the submission of a MAP®, resume and bio. As part of the application, they indicate the desired type of membership.
The application includes:
- Description of current practice areas and markets
- A Business Plan that outlines a well-considered approach for the integration of SIMA®
- Description of any relationships with current SII Members
- References (minimum of 5)
Upon receipt of the application, an interview with several Board and/or members will be conducted by phone. The interviewers will provide the application and a recommendation for approval/non-approval to the SII Board.
If approved, the individual is granted membership pending completion of SIMA® training.
Training in System to Identify Motivated Abilities
Once you have been approved as a member, you must be trained in the use of SIMA®. Training is currently conducted individually with a member of SII who is sanctioned in training others in the methodology. The cost of training is approximately $2000 and is paid directly to the trainer. Ideally, the training is completed within 3 months of membership approval.
