About us

When what you’ve been doing hasn’t been getting the results you want, we help you shift your perspective, reveal new viewpoints and uncover assumptions – so you can better understand how to generate progress in complex systems.

Perspectiva

(pehrs-pehk-tee-bah) The Spanish word for perspective. Perspective means ‘a mental view’ and taking different perspectives can give us the capacity to view things in relation to other parts in new ways.

Unlimited

That’s the aspiration. At Perspectiva, we suggest that there is usually another perspective we can take, and doing so typically allows us to see a situation, moment, person or action in a new way. Doing so opens up alternative ways of thinking, engaging or showing up. A new perspective can unlock us from repeating our standard, default or well-practiced moves.

Our values

Not about knowing, but striving to be clear, open and ready to question assumptions and interpretations.

Clarity and curiosity

Able to name the challenge and sit with discomfort. We invite each person to bring their best in answering hard questions and finding ways through complex challenges.

Boldness and kindness

Bring ease and warmth to each engagement, along with proven theory, academic rigour and structured thinking.

Heart and mind

Strive to deliver real value to our clients, as they work to serve their communities, customers and users, so together we can be confident about the impact of our work.

Service and optimism
