Our Firm

At AMTC (Agile Management & Transformation Consulting), we believe that successful transformations rely, above all, on the people who make up an organization.
Our consulting firm supports executives, managers, and teams in evolving their practices and ways of collaborating, with the goal of building organizations that are more agile, better aligned, and higher-performing.

A word from the Founder

30 years of experience across a wide range of industries/sectors : retail, banking, real estate, the civil service/public administration, advertising, disability services, aeronautics, international development, poverty alleviation/reduction, sustainable development/sustainability, mobility, manufacturing, defence, telecoms, finance, and construction.
25 years exploring different aspects of corporate finance (my original field of training/expertise) : in private and public organisations, commercial and non-profit environments, both in France and internationally.

In the early 2000s, this natural leader and team-builder evolved into a hands-on/people-focused, empathetic, positive, pragmatic — and agile — manager.

Nearly 20 years of IT projects, all starting from a humble curiosity : from observing the implementation of a new accounting system/software to designing innovative digital tools.
At the same time, I began hearing recurring whispers : “You should share your approach to people and situations so that more people can benefit from it", “You add value to everything you touch”, “You bring something positive to those around you”, “You are a driving force”…

But I chose to prioritise my life as a father : work-life balance is an essential part of our approach, as is agility in human resources.

In 2022, I took the leap and created my first consulting firm (OBOC), because you never have anything to lose by trying something driven by the desire to make a positive impact.

Three years later, success has gone beyond the original ambition : Annual growth has reached 30%, our client portfolio has tripled, we turn down nearly 300 requests each year, clients including CAC 40 companies, three-month contracts turning into three-year engagements… And OBOC became AMTC, as our growth outpaced our legal structure, our method gained recognition beyond our expectations, and our clients themselves became our strongest ambassadors and business introducers.

One year ago, AMTC was launched with the same ambition, but with goals aligned with the expectations it had created : scaling up to create a positive impact on the world of work by (re)conciling people and performance. This approach is based on strong fundamentals, challenged whenever it makes sense, and guided by unwavering pragmatism.

This is why AMTC has developed this platform : a tool commensurate with our objective, capable of bringing together and interconnecting those who share our vision for management and the transformation of the working world, and who hold the same values as we do in addressing the needs of both companies and the people they employ.

A methodology that unfolds into a whole galaxy of services, brought together in a single tool designed for them, for everyone. A crossroads connecting networks, partners, end clients, consultants… Designed to help them find solutions in any situation with maximum autonomy. A response to a growing need. A positive impact behind every outcome — for both organisations and individuals. By (re)conciling human and technological intelligence and restoring meaning to added value.

And the ambition ahead is to directly support the development of this evolving society and the entrepreneurs within it, who are calling to (re)discover meaning by creating a positive impact. "

Nicolas BARBIER

Whenever we support a client, we generate a positive impact on both their organisation and their people, beyond the objectives set, whether achieved or exceeded.
This is our DNA, our “raison d’être”.

This is why our clients extend our engagements and broaden our scope in over 75% of cases.
Our clients trust us because we consistently give our best, deliver truly tailored solutions. With immediate impact and measurable results.

Choosing AMTC means choosing to do things well, and to do them better. Kindness, positivity and common sense cost nothing, yet make all the difference. Choosing our management professionals means choosing to value people in every experience, every project and every collaboration, and choosing, for everyone, the best path to result.

AMTC's Vision

« The true leader is not the one who commands, but the one who inspires. »
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, writer and aviator (Wind, Sand and Stars, 1939)

Before being a method, we believe agility is a philosophy, a genuine choice in how we approach situations and people.

Yes, we are experts in management and transformation.
Yes, we know how to lead, make decisions, advise, support, train, develop, motivate, organise and coordinate…
Yes, our method is grounded in real expertise : steering, planning, challenging, managing, analysing, innovating, designing, developing, delivering, monitoring and improving…
Yes, we provide high value-added services across areas we have been practising for 15, 20 or 25 years : agile project and organisational management, consulting, transformation, transition, governance, innovation, design, audit, expertise, outsourcing…

What sets us apart, what drives our success, are the five pillars of our approach to management and transformation:

Our organization

Our roots lie in our founder’s network : dozens of consulting firms, recruiters, ESNs, companies — and hundreds of contacts. All active. Proactive.
The method spreads, and its results build our reputation. This is where its impact becomes clear: it turns a simple contact list into a network of networks.

They increasingly reach out to us, opening up and sharing their contracts with large organisations, as expertise alone is no longer enough to fully meet their clients’ needs. They are moving away from managing teams, projects and transforming their operations at the expense of people, the individuals who make up their organisations and bring them to life every day. It is about restoring meaning to the relationship between decision-makers and employees, between technology and human resources, between results and how it is delivered.
And ultimately, about addressing other key challenges for our clients : retaining, engaging, recognising and developing their people.

Consultants, trainers, experts, freelancers —all the entrepreneurs within our network — share our values and our ambition. Many already deliver, or aspire to deliver, the same positive impact through their work. They understand and realise that reputation is not an end in itself, but the result of a method, agile and pragmatic, of an approach that is empathetic and positive, and a further means of extending their impact beyond the boundaries set by their profession, their sector, their location, their network… and even themselves.

This ecosystem could no longer rely on our human resources alone. For a long time now, demand has outgrown our capacity. Our development required a response that matches the expectations of our network, the challenges faced by its clients, and our ambition to create a positive impact on the widest possible scale.

This is why our organization is evolving with a new tool : our web platform. It provides faster, easier and more comprehensive access to our network, our ecosystem of services, our resources, our methodology, and opportunities to work with you, with them, with us.
It also gives our network a high degree of autonomy in finding answers to its needs, offering new tools to qualify requests, identify the right resources, and where relevant, plan their interventions according to their availability.

No intermediaries. No wasted time.
Our network can now rely on us as much as we rely on it, because our success is also theirs, and our growth reflects that shared success.
Our standards commit us to service quality : our values, our methods and our ambition are the essential conditions for joining the AMTC network. Our guarantee.

AMTC's Concept

The AMTC services platform has been designed as a network of networks, connecting our clients and partners with our experts and consultants.

The goal of this network of networks is complete autonomy. Whether publishing an opportunity or availability, whether seeking support, addressing a need, or proposing solutions.

Its purpose is to remove intermediaries and facilitate direct connections between IT and digital services companies (ESNs), clients, recruitment firms, our various sources and all of our consultants and experts.
Bringing them together in one place, where every need can find a solution.

A network of networks designed to be perfectly autonomous.

A dedicated, free and secure space

Each client, partner, expert and consultant has access to a dedicated space with free, personalised and secure access, enabling them to publish their content free of charge : profiles, needs and opportunities.

One single price, one single invoice

AMTC's remuneration is automatically included in the consultant's or expert's fees. The same applies to permanent recruitment : one fee, one invoice — nothing more, nothing less — even after a successful probation period.

Access to all AMTC platform services is completely free.

Our ambition is to grow this community and all the resources it brings together, creating a collective that shares our values in management — whether focused on people, organisations or projects — and the same ambition : to have a positive and human impact through every engagement, every service delivered and every recruitment.

In concrete terms, our concept is...

A network of networks

Connecting clients, partners, experts and consultants within a single, autonomous space with no intermediaries.

A dedicated space for everyone

Free, personalized and secure access for posting your profile, needs and opportunities.

One fee, one invoice

AMTC's remuneration is included in the consultant's or expert's fees. Nothing more, nothing less.

A collective with positive impact

Developing a community that shares our values, ensuring a human impact with every intervention.

This platform has been designed to give every user complete autonomy, whether acting as a professional client, partner or consultant, or as an individual manager or employee.

Innovation

This is why we have developed a diagnostic tool designed to capture all their management needs — and yours — and provide :

Immediately :

AMTC's initial recommendations.

Very quickly :

A tailored response to any specific management situation you may have shared.

This innovation is designed for decision-makers, managers, as well as their employees and team members.

The tool allows users to share their management situation, express specific needs and be guided towards one or more of AMTC's solutions, free of charge.

This can be done either openly or anonymously. This gives everyone the opportunity to share their situation, discuss any challenges they may be facing and express their needs without hesitation.

AMTC can then provide either a direct, personalised response or share its recommendations with the company, partner or organisation concerned.

Ultimately, the aim is to improve the situation of everyone involved in management : decision-makers, leadership teams, managers, management teams, employees and team members. Whether it concerns a project involving one or more departments, one or more service structures, their operations, an IT project or the company itself.

This initiative also gives users an initial overview of the solutions available to them and the opportunity to connect with one of our management experts.

" Work Together "

This is why all these services have been brought together under the WORK TOGETHER program, build around one of our deepest convictions about management and the way it should be practised.

In our view, “working together” means breaking down the traditional boundaries of teams and projects, reshaping them around skills and expertise, wherever they may be found within the organisation or the original approach(es).

WORK TOGETHER means knowing how to work with every link in a chain, whether they come before or after you.

It redefines cross-functional collaboration by recognising that expertise is not confined to a particular role or individual but is one of the many resources essential to the effective functioning of a team or project.

It means building on both strengths and identified weaknesses across everyone involved and responding to needs based on expertise rather than role.

It means making organisations more agile by involving the right expertise at the right time and in the right place, rather than the person and timing originally designated for the task.

It means remaining flexible in the way people and resources are allocated, ensuring that the best available expertise can provide the best possible response to a need at any given moment.

It means recognising that everyone involved is part of the same whole, rather than being separated by the roles or responsibilities assigned to them.

Collective responsibility, a common goal

Business expertise, project expertise, IT expertise and subject-matter expertise all share the same collective responsability and work towards the same objective.
Every challenge should be seen as an opportunity for the collective to step in, support one another and find the best solution together.

It means valuing initiative, going beyond traditional roles, commitment, proactivity, autonomy and responsibility, every day, both individually and collectively within a team or project.

An ecosystem that caters to every need

At a different scale — our own — AMTC’s ambition today, and even more so tomorrow, is to draw on the strenghts, expertise, convictions and ressources of all those who make up the management ecosystem. By doing so, we aim to provide a response to every need, every opportunity and every challenge, regardless of who takes the initiative.

It’s through the collective efforts of everyone involved that the best response, the right resource and the most suitable expertise can be identified and brought together to meet a specific need as quickly as possible. The focus is never on ownership, but on finding the most appropriate solution for the client and ensuring that it serves their needs above all else.

Practical, human-centered and tailored support

A manager

It means connecting a manager with a management expert to help overcome a challenge.

An employee

It means supporting an employee struggling to find their place within a team or in their relationship with his manager.

A project manager or stakeholder

It means helping a project manager or project stakeholder navigate complex situations, address specific needs and make better-informed decisions.

We always aim to create a positive human impact. This is AMTC’s vision of agility and our unwavering commitment. Choosing to see the glass half full whatever the circumstances.

Behind every challenge lie solutions and opportunities.

That’s what choosing AMTC is all about.

AMTC Expert Network

Our network has been built over time through our partners, end clients, consultants, and our clients’ teams, all brought together by shared values and a common vision of management.

This is the sine qua non condition for joining our network, and it’s built on our five pillars : agility, trust, empathy, positivity and pragmatism.

Agility

Trust

Empathy

Positivity

Pragmatism

Every need requires specific expertise and skills, of course.

Our clients and partners expect results, and we consistently deliver on those expectations, often exceeding them. At AMTC, however, we believe this can never come at the expense of organisations, their employees and, more broadly, people.

Creating/Delivering that impact is our standard.
Our commitment is that every intervention and every assignment is carried out with empathy, positivity and pragmatism.
This positive impact is built on a value that lies at the very heart of AMTC : the consideration and respect owed to every individual.

Kindness, positivity and common sense cost nothing.
Choosing an AMTC management professional also means choosing to value people. In every experience. Every project. Every collaboration.
For us, it is the best way to achieve results.

As a result, our consultants, partners and clients know that we never compromise on these values, this ambition or this objective : creating an agile, human and positive impact.
It's the sine qua non condition for joining the AMTC network.

Our Consultants

Our consultants naturally share, uphold and embody these values.

They have all witnessed, experienced, contributed to and/or benefited from the AMTC method.
That is why they chose to join our network.

They have experienced it first-hand. They know better than anyone how to describe the AMTC effect : achieving objectives, often exceeding them, but never at the expense of people.

Experts committed to a human-centric, agile and positive impact.

Our Partners & Clients

Our partners (IT and digital services companies, recruitment firms, sourcing specialists, executive search consultants, freelancers and others) and our end clients, from major corporations to mid-sized and small businesses, engage with AMTC, trust AMTC and recommend AMTC because our voice is distinctive within our industry, in our interventions, our presentations and our contribution to achieving the objectives they entrust to us.

Beyond responding to their needs, beyond providing the right expertise and resources, they know that by choosing AMTC, the entire organisation, department or project will benefit from a positive impact.

Through our approach. Through our method. Through our support. Through our vision.

This is why they regularly choose to continue working with us and extend our assignments, more than 75% of the time.

Because we always strive to go beyond results and find a better way for everyone involved.

Becoming an AMTC client, partner or consultant begins with shared values, convictions and a common vision.

That's what makes our onboarding and integration process into the network unique.
Because it is the first of our commitments.

Our ambition : a positive, human and sustainable impact.

It's the conviction that unites our network, guides our actions and constitutes the AMTC's strength.
