FOCUS

Every engagement is different, however the working style remains consistent – measured, responsive and easy to integrate.

AGL works quietly alongside senior teams, often during moments that carry weight or complexity.

The focus is to bring perspective, reduce friction and support progress with clarity.

Communication is open and direct. Time is used carefully.

What matters is building trust early – so decisions can be supported not delayed.

HOW WE ADD VALUE

These are the common themes where AGL adds value.
They reflect the questions we help leadership teams work through – and the areas where advice becomes structured support.

1. Execution Clarity

We fix internal friction, unclear ownership and delivery drift - so execution matches ambition.
2. Leadership Alignment
Ensure your CxO team are making decisions in sync. Less noise, more momentum.
3. Critical Communication
Prepare leaders for board, investor and company-wide moments; without theatre.
4. Transition Readiness
Support equity shifts, exits and leadership changes - without losing trust or pace.

WORKING STRUCTURES

Strategic advice only delivers impact when paired with the right delivery structure.


AGL offers practical, adaptable engagement formats shaped to match what each moment calls for:

  • Diagnostic Sprints – fast, focused diagnosis of blockers and priorities

  • Retainers – high-trust, high-access support for senior leadership

  • Execution Projects – structured advisory around key strategic shifts or delivery workstreams

  • Who do you work with?
    AGL partners with teams inside established businesses that are growing, integrating or navigating change. Common triggers include a raise, exit preparation, post-merger alignment or a shift in leadership structure. Clients typically have strong ambitions and capable teams. Execution is where things slow down.
  • Do you support strategy or just execution?
    AGL doesn’t separate the two. Strategy without execution is theatre. Execution without strategy is noise. Our work focuses on aligning internal decisions, behaviours and communications to match what’s required externally - whether that’s market turbulence, regulatory pressure or macroeconomic change.
  • We’re not dysfunctional. We’re just not moving fast enough. Can you help?
    Yes—when the leadership team is willing to make decisions. AGL works best with accountable, pace-oriented teams who want clarity, alignment and movement.
  • How do engagements work?
    AGL offers three formats, each designed to match the stage and urgency of the work: · Diagnostic Sprints – A short-term engagement to surface friction and align the path forward · Retainers – Ongoing support with set rhythms, clear access and defined boundaries · Execution Projects – Outcome-based work with fixed scope and delivery milestones Most clients begin with a Diagnostic. Fees are transparent and agreed upfront based on format, pace and priority.
  • What if things feel messy right now?
    That’s often when AGL is most effective. When there’s appetite for clarity, alignment and structure, we can move fast.
  • How do you handle confidentiality?
    AGL engagements are exclusive, private and data protected. We don’t work with your competitors.
