Organisational Diagnostic Tool - Ambit

Introducing a new way to assess, benchmark, challenge, maintain and improve performance in your organisation

Ambit is an online diagnostic tool designed to help you appraise how your organisation is performing in relation to essential aspects of organisational life.
