About AMGI – AMGI management

Our Core Capabilities – Over 25 Years of Innovation History

For over 25 years, AMGI has been helping companies worldwide to achieve measurable business results by improving enterprise wide operations linking Strategy, Technology and Innovation.

We began as a boutique management consultancy specializing in engineering and technology driven businesses initially in aerospace and defence. We honed our practical experience, in aerospace, defense, consumer goods, media, newspaper publishing, industrial equipment, engineering, to create well packaged set of methodologies focused on the management and application of Innovation.

We have transitioned our business to focus on corporate education and training in the field of Business Innovation, Strategic Change Management, and Operations and Production with a deep speciality in Engineering Operations. Our passion is to transfer knowledge to executives and management to actually drive and sustain innovation through the company by building the competencies and capabilities of the key change agents.

We use a proven implementation path to achieve success in the following areas:

Engineering and New Product Development Management
Enterprise (ERP) Systems Implementation
Business Innovation, Transformation and Turnaround
Lean Manufacturing and Engineering
Strategic and Directional Planning
Organizational Development and Management Coaching
Risk Management and Assessment
ERP, NPD, Operations Rescue Programs

We help our clients set high standards and provide a provocation for change and continuous improvement. We have a very strong philosophy that Class A improvement can only be sustained when our client has ownership of the change. We do not say this lightly. Our approach is tailored to the unique character of each company and is delivered with varying levels of intensity.

Education and Training Programs

We develop and deliver a comprehensive range of Innovation Management workshops, seminars and courses in all service area. These are conducted both on-site and off-site.

Coaching, Facilitation and Mentorship

One on one coaching to senior and middle management to accelerate career progression. We have a particular specialty on mentoring Engineers and Scientists through to management.

Management of Change – The Heart of Innovation

We apply a proven path to the management of change. We accept that every one resists change in all areas of the business even the executives who hire us. Our approach ensures that each initiative has:

The necessary sponsorship throughout the hierarchy
An effective communication plan
An organization that is ready for change
A capable project leader and implementation team
A strategy to overcome resistance
Political and social harmony
A conflict resolution approach
Rewards and recognition

We only use the MOC approach when delivering a service. It is pointless to change for the sake of change. Our video “Engineering the Future – Managing Change for Success” illustrates the best practices used at a variety of companies.

What we achieve:

Deep impact transformational change – culture, process, bottom line benefits
Reduced product development lead-time from order entry thru shipping
