We are delighted to announce some exciting new developments at AMC.

Name Change

From 1 July 2008, Access Management Consultants will become Access Management Corporation. While the change may be subtle, it reflects an expansion of the AMC offer to clients and the business community in both Australia and internationally.

In addition to our consulting services, AMC has spent the last two years developing a suite of exceptional web based management tools. Developed to provide low cost but high value information to business owners and managers, these management tools will help redefine how business decisions are made.

Some of these management tools are described below. If you would like more information on how these tools can be used in your business, please don't hesitate to contact AMC on 07 3393 2833.

News Limited Appoint AMC

Quest Newspapers (a division of News Ltd) has adopted AMC's Business Wisdom online business diagnostic tool as a key part of the assessment process for its annual Business Achiever Awards. This is a major change for the Business Achiever Awards which was launched 15 years ago and has been growing in reputation and popularity each year.

With over 2000 businesses completing the Business Wisdom survey, AMC is an important partner in the Business Achiever Awards. Previously, finalists would prepare a paper based response to a series of broad qualitative questions. This has been upgraded to an on-line quantitative assessment of all elements of business performance.
