Too much consultancy is built around the consultant, not the client. We were created to do it the other way round.
Five was created from a simple frustration: too much consultancy is built around the consultant, not the client. We wanted to build something genuinely in service of the organisations we work with — focused on long-term relationships and real business performance, not billable hours.
We work across five pillars — Strategy & Leadership, Performance, Culture, People, and Technology — because lasting change doesn't happen in silos. We bring clarity, structure, and the right people to make sure the work lands. Not just delivered. Not just presented. Actually adopted, embedded, and sustained.
We combine creativity, deep expertise and innovative thinking to deliver solutions others overlook or deem impossible. If someone says "it's impossible", we'll be the ones who want to prove them wrong.
We value informed opinions and assertive thinking. A well-rounded perspective challenges others to think differently and improves the quality of decisions. Being silent in a room is of value to no-one.
We are committed to making a positive impact in everything we do, from helping clients succeed to contributing to broader societal wellbeing. Working with integrity and a deep sense of responsibility.
Excellence is our standard, not our goal. Whether in client delivery, internal projects or personal growth, we are driven by a relentless pursuit of improvement and mastery.
We're not big, but we are committed to adding our voice, energy and resources to the things that matter to us.
We partner with Ecologi to fund global reforestation, supporting over 50 projects across methane reduction, forest regeneration, biogas, wind, rainforest protection, solar and water access.
Five on EcologiAs a Gold Pride Pledge partner, we are unwavering in our commitment to uplift and support the LGBTQI+ / MVPFAFF community. Love, respect and acceptance should be universal languages.
Pride PledgeWe recognise our obligations under Te Tiriti and the importance of partnership, participation and protection in how we work with New Zealand organisations.
Meaningful change requires acknowledging the past honestly and doing the work to build something better.
We look for ways to add our energy and resources to causes that matter, beyond the commercial work we do.
Tell us what's not landing. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Make delivery inevitable.
