To align the performance and capability of your Business to the Market and to establish competitive positioning is often a challenge particularly where established structures and protected hierarchies are in place.

Most businesses will already be looking at developing strategies for meeting customer needs, understanding organisational culture, optimising linkages and interdependencies or assessing leadership style.

We facilitate these developments providing the support that enables our clients to identify and decode key business issues - filtering out non-contributing elements and emphasising those that add value.

We help you look at the whole of your organisation - evaluating its effectiveness using established and recognised models but also looking at the motivation of your people and the behaviours behind them, the drivers and what of these are positive and contributory.

The structure we help build quickly produces higher performance. What's more, it's sustainable performance. Your people will get the best out of each other and utilisation of all the Organisation's assets will increase - particularly leveraging technology, brand and market positioning.

Our programme is flexible, but not elastic, ensuring our clients steer a clear course to success - with quick and secure decision-making on change to accelerate progress and maintain momentum in the design process.

To ensure that the benefits continue to flow, we also installs a monitoring process to check progress and to correct course and pace if appropriate. Typically, a starting point is to undertake an organisational audit seeking out core competencies using our own standardised process methodology to produce understandable and consistent results where equal emphasis is placed on strengths and development areas.

We help a business develop a clear picture of where it is now and a vision of where the organisation could be in the future. 'Could' may become should - and AMG can ensure that the essential strategic planning for reshaping the organisation including reassignment, training and recruitment is supported by a variety of proven techniques and models.

Diagnosis and Evaluation
Performance - increased productivity, effectiveness, quality - comes from high levels of motivation among leaders where the business case for measuring the culture of an organisation has been accepted with enthusiasm and the case for continually upgrading the organisation has been accepted in full.

While Perception and Attitude Surveys are an essential tool in assessing employee motivation, we extend the value of the exercise by reconciling the priorities of the people in your organisation with the strategic imperatives that your business has set.
Closing the gap between these by identifying the specific issues enables the organisation to construct and execute appropriate change programmes.

The methodology employed is interrogation based but in a supportive - not combative - way, securing trust and commitment to action. We present and confront the symptoms which may range from high levels of turnover or absenteeism to a drop in productivity.
We have been working with large scale public and private sector organisations in the UK and internationally for over 15 years. Our strength is our relevance and practical approach allowing very rapid inclusion by the people in your organization.

The speed with which We operate is not achieved by compromising quality but by the depth of experience in working with organizations that need to change and by using proven and understandable models.

Our Organisational Design function combines a business focus with strong analytical skills in organisational and Organisation and Resource discipline. We believe we are leading the research in a number of areas. This enables us to leverage the most advanced thinking and best practice in all elements of our programme.

Do you understand your Core Values? We can help you form these and to create a clear sense of purpose - through our Beacon process we can make these and the objectives and principles which direct the organisation clear and explicit building awareness and belief.

Encouraging the right people to join your organisation and securing the loyalty of your best performers is a certain outcome from establishing a clearly-defined mission and value set. Not only this but it allows you to set the right image in front of your Customers and engage the commitment of Suppliers and Service providers

Our process involves using a variety of quantitative techniques as well as focus groups and structured individual interviews. We also believe that the mission and values needed to be embedded throughout the workforce, not just at director level, therefore we insist on working from the bottom up. However, our role is very much that of the facilitator, providing the means for the organisation to work things out for themselves.
