This Guide provides you with a structure for analyzing the workings of your organization. It will generate insights to help you determine how effectively the organization is functioning, identify strengths and weaknesses, devise priorities and plans for future improvement, and in the process, promote your reflective learning.The AISO process constitutes an ideal laboratory to practice and refine your capabilities for analyzing and improving groups and organizations.Purpose and Elements of the AISO ProgramThe Assessing and Improving Student Organization (AISO) program is intended as a guide for leaders of student-led college organizations.
