AMC runs a four-to-six-week diagnostic on how your company really works — who decides, where direction dies, how deep the bench is — and hands you a board-ready report with a dollar figure on every gap and a fix your own team can run.
No slides, no pitch. Fixed fee, fixed scope — a qualified AMC professional manages your intake and the work that follows, and the report is yours to keep.
In plain language
A ten-minute confidential survey across the whole organization — not a leadership sample — plus interviews with people your executives nominate.
Each one works through a 45-minute simulation showing what they actually prioritise under pressure, scored against the competencies your plan requires.
Findings are cross-referenced against your own operating and compensation data, so every gap carries an annual dollar figure.
A board-ready report, a remediation plan with owners and milestones, and a 90-minute live walkthrough. Yours to run — with us or without us.
That's the Health Check. Four to six weeks, fixed fee, fixed scope.
Two assessments sit inside it. You can run one, the other, or both.The signals
Three of the six patterns we get called in for. Each one is measurable, and each one has a number attached to it.
Decision rights are unclear and accountability is diffuse, so agreement never converts into action.
Leadership depth is thinner than the org chart suggests — and a buyer will price that at exit.
The capital landed. The behaviour change didn't — so the modelled return never arrives.
What makes it different
Human capital is the largest line on most P&Ls and the least instrumented. We measure it the way you would measure anything else that consumes capital — in the context of your business, against your numbers, not a generic benchmark.
Where execution is breaking down, scored across direction, decision rights and candour — and what each gap is costing you annually.
An executive-ready report that holds the findings in the context of your business, not a generic survey deck.
A remediation plan with owners and milestones, written so your internal team can run it — with us or without us.

How we work
The same method sits underneath every engagement we run, whatever its size.
A four- to six-week health check: how teams actually work together, leadership mapping, decision rights and process economics. We measure before we recommend.
Four to six weeks · almost none of it your timeA boardroom-ready report showing where performance is breaking down, what each gap costs annually, and a remediation plan your champions can own.
Board-ready report · 90-minute live walkthroughYou take the time you need. You set the direction, and nothing moves until you do.
No clock on it · the pause is yoursWhen you choose to act, we scope the work against what the evidence found and deploy specialists from the roster.
Specialists from a 130+ rosterProof in numbers
Six clients began with diagnosis and then acted on what it found. Returns ran between 6:1 and 25:1 over three years — around $42M in total, from one repeatable method. Three of the six are shown in full below.
How to read these figures: returns are modelled three-year EBITDA recapture against a fixed engagement fee, on conservative capture and adoption assumptions — directional and context-dependent rather than audited. Client names, personal names, assessment providers and system names are removed throughout; sector and headcount only.
AI readiness & adoption
AI programmes rarely fail on the technology. They stall on organizational politics, unclear decision rights, resistance and thin change capability — and the spend is committed by the time anyone notices. We run the health check before implementation, while the plan can still change.
The team
Three disciplines — measurement, execution and behaviour change — held by three people who have each carried commercial responsibility themselves.

Before you book
Short answers. If yours isn't here, the scoping call is free and there is no pitch in it.
No. A good share of our work starts from ambition rather than pain — a growth plan, an acquisition, a system going in, a founder beginning to think about exit. The health check is just as useful for confirming your organization can absorb what's coming as it is for explaining what already went wrong.
The one thing it is not is a formality. If the evidence says you're in good shape, that is what the report will say.
No. Every engagement begins with a fixed-fee, fixed-scope diagnostic, and it ends with a pause. Nothing moves until you decide it should.
Plenty of clients take the report and run the remediation with their own people. That is what it was written for.
Yes. Engagements to date span distribution, architecture and engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, professional services, transit and the public sector.
What we measure — direction, decision rights, candour, bench depth and change capability — behaves the same way in every industry. The vocabulary changes; the failure modes don't.
That is the usual starting point, and it is precisely what the diagnostic is for. You don't need a hypothesis going in — bringing one sometimes makes things worse, because it narrows where anyone looks.
What you do need is four to six weeks and honest access to your people.
Yes. We scope to the organization in front of us. The method is the same at 60 people as it is at 2,000; the number of people we speak to — and therefore the fee — is not. Tell us your size and we’ll price it →
There is also a free Preparedness Assessment you can run yourself in about ten minutes.
Book the 30-minute call. No slides, no pitch. We ask what's going on, tell you whether a health check is the right instrument, and if it isn't, we say so.
Start here
You'll be looked after from the first call to the last recommendation. A qualified AMC professional owns your intake, runs the diagnostic and manages the remediation that follows — with a documented method behind them, 130+ vetted consultants across four regions, and six engagements that returned between 6:1 and 25:1.
