FOCUS

Every engagement is different - but the working style stays consistent: measured, responsive and easy to integrate.
 

AGL operates quietly alongside senior teams during moments of weight, pressure or complexity.

The goal is to bring perspective, reduce friction, and support forward movement with clarity.

Communication is open and direct.
Time is used with care.

 

Trust is built early - so decisions move forward, not sideways.

HOW WE ADD VALUE

These are the themes where strategic support makes the difference.

Each reflects the questions leaders are already asking - where advice alone isn’t enough and structure is needed to move forward.

 

1. Execution Clarity
Fix internal drag, delivery drift, and unclear ownership - so execution catches up with ambition.

2. Decision Rhythm
Restore pace and coherence - so decisions flow, not fracture.

3. Critical Communication
Prepare leaders for board, investor, and all-hands moments - without performance theatre.

4. Transition Readiness
Support equity shifts, exits, and leadership changes - with trust, timing and cohesion intact.

WORKING STRUCTURES

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

AGL offers adaptable engagement formats tailored to the needs of the moment:

  • Diagnostic Sprints - fast, focused diagnosis of execution blockers and structural gaps

  • Retainers - high-access, short-burst stabilisers to align stakeholder performance; not create reliance

  • Execution Projects - structured advisory around strategic shifts or delivery workstreams
     

Each format is built for traction.

  • Who do you work with?
    AGL supports leadership teams inside established businesses navigating growth, integration or strategic change. Common triggers include: – Capital raises – Exit preparation – Post-merger alignment – Leadership transitions Clients tend to have strong ambition and capable teams - but execution is where traction slips.
  • Do you support strategy or just execution?
    AGL doesn’t separate the two. Strategy without execution is theatre. Execution without strategy is noise. The work is focused on aligning internal decisions, behaviours and communication. This enables our clients to respond coherently to external demands such as market shifts, regulatory pressure &/or macroeconomic change.
  • We’re not dysfunctional. We’re just not moving fast enough. Can you help?
    Yes - if the leadership team is ready to make decisions. AGL works best with accountable, pace-driven teams who want clarity, traction and forward movement.
  • How do engagements work?
    Engagements are structured to fit the pace and pressure of the moment. AGL offers three formats: Diagnostic Sprints - short, focused engagements to surface friction and set a clear path forward Retainers - ongoing advisory support with clear access, set rhythms, and firm boundaries Execution Projects - outcome-based work with a defined scope and delivery milestones Most engagements begin with a Diagnostic. Fees are transparent - set in advance based on format, pace and priority.
  • What if things feel messy right now?
    That is often when the work matters most. AGL is most effective when the stakes are high and the path is not obvious. If there is appetite for clarity, structure and pace - we can move fast together.
  • How do you handle confidentiality?
    AGL engagements are private, exclusive and fully data-protected. Confidentiality is foundational - and we never work with direct competitors.
