The Clarity Story

Clarity Consortium is a collaboration of nine seasoned consultants, united by shared values, mutual respect, and a commitment to excellence. Together, we bring many years of collective experience across diverse fields, driven by the belief that great things come when we bring our minds, energy and passion together.

Each of us operates our own independent consultancy, specialising in distinct areas, yet we come together to collaborate, innovate, support one another, and submit joint proposals. Since 2018, this unique model has consistently delivered exceptional results for our clients.

Our partnership thrives on the principles of integrity, quality, flexibility, and professional generosity. Not only do we achieve high quality outcomes, but we also nurture our own well-being through the deep connections we’ve built with each other. Working together is a win-win for us, and for our clients.

Why choose Clarity?

Clarity Consortium offers a unique value proposition for government, not-for-profit, and corporate clients seeking a blend of deep expertise, diverse experience, and unwavering reliability. Our consultants have an exceptional track record in evaluation, policy, strategy, service design, communication, engagement, and co-design.

We bring a richness of lived experience, emotional intelligence, and a genuine passion for what we do. Our shared values and collaborative approach are felt in every interaction—whether you’re working with one consultant or the entire team.

Our Core Values:

Dignity and Respect – We centre the people and communities we serve in everything we do.
Integrity – We prioritise open, honest relationships, leveraging our independence wisely and holding ourselves accountable to our commitments.
Quality – Our methods are tailored to your needs, avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches.
Curiosity and Courage – We ask bold questions, challenge assumptions, and are unafraid to explore innovative possibilities.
Impact – Our work drives practical, positive change for people and communities.
