Pragmatism

Zero Bullshit

Respect

It's all about you

We are on a mission to rid the strategy 'industry' of theatre and corporate nonsense. And if we can't help you we will say so.

We are genuinely interested in you and what's important to you (and if we're not we'll help you find someone who is).

We will ask hard questions (gently) to help you get beyond the symptoms to the root cause, so we are working on the right things.

We know your time is precious, and we know that you know more about your customers and your business than we do.

Our customers are the hero in our stories. Always.

Why "reqlarity" ?

reqlarity | rē-klar′-ĭ-tē | /riːˈklær.ɪ.ti/ noun | plural reqlarities.

Etymology: Early 21st century. From Latin re- (again, repeatedly) + clarity (clearness), with orthographic rebellion via substitution of 'q' for 'c'. See also: qlarity, pretentious startup naming conventions, vowel shortage of 2024.

Metaphor: Think of reqlarity as organisational windshield wipers - you set the clear view at journey's start, but road spray, bug splatter, and the accumulated grime of travel constantly blur the vision. Reqlarity is both the initial clarity and the repeated clearing strokes that restore it.
