Amf Communications, Llc

AMF Communications LLC is a privately held consulting company that focuses on helping clients achieve business agility. Ian Macdonald, the company’s principal, has worked with businesses to build agility into their culture for more than 25 years. He has seen projects meticulously planned out, documented, and funded – then they go off the rails because something changes or something new is discovered. The result can be that projects go over budget, the delivery timelines become unpredictable, leadership loses confidence in the project team, etc. All of these can be avoided by building agility into your business model. What does it mean when a company is agile? Within the business context, “agility” means being able to respond to consumer or market changes at a moment's notice - or adjust proactively ahead of them. It means a company can adapt to changing conditions and reinvent itself for continued success. An agile business is one that can respond quickly to market changes, customer and client demands, and its own accelerated timelines. It can make decisions quickly and act on those decisions. It can move easily from initiative to initiative. In short, its teams are self-empowered, versus looking up the command structure for advice or permission to move forward. The collaborative environment fostered within an agile workplace leads to further innovation and adaptability. An agile enterprise gains a competitive advantage by responding faster to internal and external changes, being more productive, getting products and services to market rapidly, and responding quickly to customer feedback and needs. AMF Communications works with clients to help them be an agile-thinking organization that delivers results. The journey to being an agile thinking organization is one of discovery and adaptation. There is no one big-bang approach – it is a process of incremental change and adaptation. Contact us to discover how we can guide you to be an agile organization.
