Our Story

Clear Strategy was set up based on a single yet compelling insight; how organisations use data determines whether they succeed or fail. The potential outcomes are as profound and arbitrary as that. It is the difference between choosing to be a dynamic business with a culture of continuous gains versus being a business where management decisions and operating practice are based on rear view mirror insights.  

We set up Clear Strategy to help our clients to build better businesses, to enable them to turn insights into a powerful source of competitive advantage and value creation.

As successful business people in our own right, with careers in diverse industries, we have walked in our client’s shoes. Had we not we could not help them to transform their businesses.  We have seen at first-hand how businesses can dig into data with no real idea of what they are looking for and no understanding of how to get things right.  

Through our experience, we have seen that there are any number of consultancies offering good technical data solutions, with great business engagement methodologies. We also noticed that they did not take a holistic view of the client’s business and needs. Too often their starting point was selling data solutions rather than understanding the problem the client was trying to solve or how their business operates.

Simply put, we wanted to change that dynamic. We saw that business leaders were poorly served and we were determined to change that.

We understood that leaders needed help. We decided to create a complete end-to-end data consultancy focused on ensuring that our client’s organisations are sustainable into the future. Our rigorous focus is on enabling client organisations to have the highest quality data available to them and understand how to drive increased customer value.  We are committed to excellence in everything we do.

Since Clear Strategy was established in 2018 our business has grown. We have developed trusted relationships across companies and sectors as diverse as industry regulators, insurance, banking, automotive and telecommunications. In every case, we have helped our clients to develop granular and immediate actionable insights which drive performance. Always bringing them nearer to their customers, understanding their purchasing behaviour, their propensity to change, their likelihood to remain loyal, creating comprehensive and complete solutions to reduce churn and increase revenue.

As we continue to grow, you, our customer, will remain at the centre of everything we do. We will never be too big to continually do the small things that matter.  

We will continue to be values led, supporting our clients to be future focused, agile, and efficient.

And we let our customers praise our virtues via our 'Customer Success Index', which is Clear Strategy's core KPI.
