About Us

The Insight Partnership

Our approach
Let's start with you
  • You want innovation and creativity because you work with difficult problems in worthwhile areas.
  • You know that you could tilt at it alone, but that approach wouldn’t be nearly as effective as working with others.
  • You have good ideas, but you need help in making them happen.
  • Your work—both individually and in teams—matters, but you could use some support to make it truly effective.
  • You’ve worked with the big consulting firms, but are dissatisfied with the way they give you formulaic responses.
We get it. There are three things we love to do.
  • Couple big dreams with a good dose of pragmatism to deliver strategy, policy and change that works for you.
  • Create partnerships and bring out the best in individuals and teams through coaching and collaboration.
  • Make a difference socially, environmentally, economically.
Our skill and expertise can help you make a difference:
  • We know how governments think and act—we’ve had experience at an executive level inside government delivering challenging strategies widely regarded for their impact.
  • We have broad experience as consulting and advising, across a range of areas including disability, health and mental health, social and affordable housing, homelessness, social policy for population groups (eg ageing, domestic violence, children), planning, infrastructure, environment, economic development, education as well as business systems and more.
  • We have worked with governments, national and international for-profits and local not-for-profits and had impressive results.
  • We truly get relationships, from the big to the small. We have worked with large disparate groups, alliances, and partnerships through to individuals via one-on-one coaching.
  • We are on the NSW Government Performance and Management Services Scheme.
About our philosophy
  • We are passionate about having a positive social impact. We understand risk and reward, but we also understand that some areas—like children’s futures, economic sustainability, mental health and climate change, for example—are so important that conservative action won’t be enough. Our approach to strategy is to dream big, but be pragmatic in making change happen.
  • A good strategy comes from a solid evidence base and respecting experience. Our experience is that a great strategy not only does both these things, it also brings creativity, imagination and vision. That’s the kind of strategy we deliver.
  • Partnerships are central to creating visions and delivering change. Governments, not for profit and, increasingly, corporates are working together in unprecedented ways. Our approach improves the way you and your partners work together, creating genuine teams with diverse expertise.
  • We want you to dream. We also want you to do. We love to work with clients to turn ideas into reality.

We are here to help you
