Jess Cossens Consulting

Who we are

I'm Jess.  An experienced strategy consultant with a passion for supporting purpose-driven clients. I am a management consultant who uses strategic thinking and execution skills to make a positive difference. I am motivated and energetic and passionate about creating a more equitable, accessible world for everyone to enjoy.

Good strategic decision making should account for both logical and human elements.

My engineering training enables me to view problems through a systems-lens, understanding how disparate components fit together to drive a given result. I logically break down challenges and dive into detailed analysis to identify relevant, actionable insights. 

But we know that life is not all data and logic; our society is made up of humans with their emotions, experiences and biases. I use my humanities training to explore challenges from a more holistic, more complex, more human perspective.

My facilitation and influencing skills enable me to manage complex stakeholder relationships and to craft compelling cases for change. To achieve real results, one must engage the hearts, minds and hands of doers and decision makers alike.

What we do

How do I do what I do? It's simple. I ask questions that can spark a lightbulb moment. I frame complex concepts into clear, simple ideas. And I bring together diverse groups to align on an impactful path forward.

Whether it's articulating your strategy or aligning your organisation, designing new programs or evaluating old ones, if the problem is worth solving, I want to walk alongside you to help you solve it.
