Growth & Continuity Formula : Defend / Adapt / Transform
About Us
AUGMNT’s work is shaped by a long-standing focus on how organizations think, decide, and relate to uncertainty over time, not only on what they execute.
About AUGMNT
AUGMNT works with organizations that want to manage growth, continuity, and risk deliberately over time.
AUGMNT helps organizations that want to manage growth, continuity, and risk deliberately over time. We work upstream of execution, where clarity and strategic coherence are shaped through a dual approach:
We help organizations develop strategic capacity for the future—using foresight, futures and horizon-based thinking to see beyond immediate pressures and build adaptive capability across time.
Through proprietary frameworks such as 3H1S, we help organizations determine what must be protected in the present, what needs to adapt in transition, and what must be prepared ahead of time. This reduces Strategic Deficit—the lack of coherent visibility across time horizons that causes strategic decisions to underperform or fail.
AUGMNT is committed to bringing rigorous, world-class approaches to organizations seeking clarity, coherence, and resilience in an uncertain future.
About the Founder
A macro or high-level view of the whole is important to ensure that the action is relevant and consistent.
I am Chris (Christian) Royer, the founder of AUGMNT.
My background spans law—real estate, financing, and securities—alongside financial planning + brokerage, investor relations and continuous reporting, trading, and risk management. This experience is complemented by interest and studies in systems disciplines, including Total Quality Management, System Dynamics, and the Viable System Model. I am also certified by the Institute for the Future (IFTF), bringing disciplined foresight and futures thinking methods to organizational strategy.
Since organizations don’t experience growth, risk, and continuity as separate problems, but across time, I work with the Three Horizons as one integrated system—3H1S—treating direction, adaptation, and continuity as a single portfolio management responsibility.
Formal + Specialized Education
I hold two law (undergraduate & graduate) degrees from the Faculty of Law at the Université de Montréal.
I was formerly licensed in Canada as a securities and life insurance representative.
