ABOUT AUGMNT

Always additive.
Never critical.

We help organizations make their structure, assets, and horizons explicit — building the plans, protocols, and risk intelligence needed to grow and endure across all three horizons.

THE FIRM

AUGMNT adds the updated lens. We help organizations see what they hold, plan across all three horizons, and build the intelligence to grow and endure — without losing what makes them work.

Defend • Adapt • Transform

THE FIRM

Rooted in practice.
Not theory.

AUGMNT operates across two domains — Growth & Continuity and Foresights — through a proprietary advisory methodology built over decades of practice across law, securities regulation, trading, international trade, systems thinking, and organizational design.

We work with founders, owners, and leadership teams who are navigating growth, transition, transformation, or succession — and who need more than conventional strategy consulting can offer.

AUGMNT is always additive. We do not arrive to replace what exists. We add what the current era requires — the cognitive architecture, the horizon structure, and the foresight capacity that most organizations have never been offered before.

THE FOUNDER

Christian Royer.

Chris Royer is the founder of AUGMNT. His background spans law (Université de Montréal), securities regulation, trading, international trade, actuarial thinking, System Dynamics, and the Viable System Model — disciplines that rarely appear in the same room, and that together produce a distinctly different kind of organizational lens.

My background runs from law — real estate, financing, and securities — through brokerage, investor relations, continuous disclosure, negotiation, and risk management. Alongside that practice: Total Quality Management, System Dynamics, and the Viable System Model. I am also certified by the Institute for the Future (IFTF), which added disciplined foresight methods to an already cross-disciplinary foundation.

The work that followed from all of this is consistent. I make explicit where and how an organization thinks — its structure, its assets, its horizons — so that its decisions stay aligned as it grows. Implicit logic becomes transferable. Strategic intent connects to operational reality. Complexity stops eroding coherence. Clear organizational thinking produces consistent execution. That is the thread that runs through everything AUGMNT does.

Formal + Specialized Education
