AUGMENTED INFORMATION
ABOUT AUGMNT
In this Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous (VUCA) world, growth and continuity no longer depend on predicting the future, but on anticipating and creating it—and reacting and proacting intelligently. To meet this challenge, AUGMNT delivers foresight as a service: done-for-you, AI-supported, and ready to inform decisions now. Our mission is to equip organizations not only with the insights that matter but with the ability to act—without delay, without needing to learn anything else first. Because building the future doesn’t have to start with learning—it can start with deploying the right information at the right time.
In order to analyze the complete (or augmented) strategic environment to detect opportunities, risks and threats and to develop strategies fully informed by the 3 horizons, we encourage the practice of using the information aggregated from the(3) horizons. We call this practice or standard SIGMA (Strategic Information Generation and Management Augmentation). MOSAIQ on the other hand is the assemblage of various Information in the form of a report or any other means or form.
DONE-FOR-YOU
BEYOND THE CURVE
We deliver foresight as a service—done-for-you, AI-supported, and ready to futurize your organization today. There’s no learning curve, no internal capability to develop—just deployment.

ABOUT THE INSTIGATOR
I am Chris (Christian) Royer, the founder of AUGMNT, based in Montreal, QC, Canada. For over 40 years, I hold law degrees from the University of Montreal and have previously held securities and life insurance licenses in Canada. I have lived and worked between Quebec and the United States (1993-2018) and conducted business in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East (MENA). I have been engaged in the practice of law, real estate, financial and tax planning, brokerage of traditional and alternative financial products, and international trade. My interests lie in optimization, continuous improvement, risk management, and the model of possibilities or alternatives, as opposed to the great risk of a fixed way of doing things toward a fixed one future. Although not very active on this network (and others), here is a link to my LinkedIn profile.
