Significantly improve your transformation journey.
Are you tired of the odds stacking against your business initiatives and transformations?
The secret to tipping the balance of success in your favour lies in our revolutionary Management Attention Explorer (MAE) process. Let's break away from the alarming statistic that 80% of change programs fail, because with MAE, success becomes more achievable and faster.
MAE is not just another business diagnostic; it's a journey that elevates the thinking and behaviours of your team. Our process taps into the vast reservoir of knowledge and creativity within your business, pinpointing where attention is needed to reduce costs, losses and risks while enhancing performance, culture and overall success.
Why MAE? Because it works.
The MAE diagnostic provides a clear roadmap for potential risks and failures in any business activity, whether it's a project, merger or digital transformation. Developed and rigorously tested at Cranfield, our award-winning MAE process has proven successful, delivering tangible results.

What Exactly is MAE?
Management Attention Explorer is your strategic companion, delving deep into your business to boost performance while minimising the impact of risks and failure costs. This award-winning process anonymously extracts and quantifies the hurdles and challenges faced by your organisation or project team.
How Does it work?
MAE identifies, categorises, and quantifies risks by extracting, organizing, and reporting
organisational knowledge. Participant's comments and feedback remain anonymous, eliminating the influence of dominant individuals. The process involves a structured interview, leading to a comprehensive set of potential hurdles or risks, which are then grouped, classified and quantified through assessment cycles.
Real Results Speak Volumes
"The process identified risks that were subsequently managed using small precise surgical actions." - COO, Investment Bank.
