As has been said, if you have a very large company spend then try and leverage that. I’m guessing if you need a number for a local office that’s likely not the case though, because your company would already have a dedicated account manager.
I’d also caution against moving as well - as much as you might hate AA, if you’re US-based and can reach EXP there are considerable benefits in remaining with the FFP even if you fly on other metal. BA will not upgrade you very often, even as a GGL, whereas you have a fighting chance on an AA domestic.
I’d even suggest looking into juggling the two programmes, although it might be a bit tight if the OP is expecting to earn just 3,000 TP across OW per year.
