     The undersigned hereby amend their Schedule 13D filed November 13, 2000, as
amended by the Amendment No. 1 filed November 29, 2000 (the "Schedule 13D"),
relating to the Common Stock of Superior Consultant Holdings Corporation. Unless
otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein
shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D. The purpose of
this Amendment No. 2 is to report non-discretionary purchase plans adopted by

On December 1, 2000, the Reporting Persons adopted purchase plans pursuant to
Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, under which the Reporting Persons
granted a single broker-dealer the sole discretion, subject to certain
limitations, to make purchases of Common Stock from time to time for the account
of the Reporting Persons (the "Purchase Plans"). The broker-dealer has agreed to
allocate any shares purchased pursuant to the Purchase Plans among the Reporting
Persons' individual accounts in the aggregate based upon the following
approximate percentage allocation: Aprahamian (37.0%), Helppie (37.0%),
Huntzinger (7.4%), Bracken (3.7%) and Smith (14.8%).

ITEM 5 - INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Persons beneficially own in the aggregate 4,823,402 shares of Common Stock which
represents approximately 42.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Individually, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns the following
shares: (i) Aprahamian beneficially owns 467,650 shares, which represent 4.2% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (ii) Helppie beneficially owns 3,422,174
shares, which represent 30.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (iii)
Huntzinger beneficially owns 232,950 shares, which represent 2.1% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock; (iv) Bracken beneficially owns 445,178
shares, which represent 4.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (v)
Smith beneficially owns 255,450 shares, which represent 2.3% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock. The number of shares beneficially owned by Helppie
includes 110,000 shares issuable upon exercise of options currently exercisable
or exercisable within 60 days from the date hereof. The number of shares
beneficially owned by Bracken includes 115,000 shares issuable upon exercise of
options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days from the date
hereof.
