About Us
AUGMNT’s work is shaped by long-term thinking and by how organizations think, decide and relate to uncertainty over time, and not just by what they implement in the shorter term.
About AUGMNT
AUGMNT COGNITIV™ strengthens how organizations think so growth, continuity, and risk remain coherent over time.
AUGMNT works with organizations that want to manage growth, continuity, and risk deliberately over time by structuring how the organization thinks before it acts.
Through AUGMNT COGNITIV™, we make the organization’s implicit decision logic explicit and shared so strategy, risk, and execution remain aligned as complexity increases. We operate upstream of execution, where clarity and coherence are shaped before they are tested in action.
Rather than layering new tools or processes, we stabilize the organization’s thinking so growth does not create internal confusion, delegation does not distort intent, and complexity does not fragment direction.
This reduces Strategic Deficit—the loss of coherence that causes decisions to underperform or drift—and installs structured clarity that endures as the organization scales.
About the Founder
A coherent whole precedes consistent action.
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.
I focus on making explicit where (structure, assets and horizons) organizations think from so their decisions remain aligned as they grow. My work centers on making implicit organizational logic explicit, connecting strategic intent to operational reality, and ensuring that complexity does not erode coherence.
The objective is simple: when the organization’s logic is clear and shared, its execution becomes consistent and resilient.
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.
