Why nuance?

What sets nuance apart from other consulting firms? Perspective, in part. We start by asking about your business goals, not just about your marketing plan, your website or your product line. We want your organization to succeed, not just our project. Not only can we design the right strategy, we’ve got the experience to execute it flawlessly.

More importantly, we are generalists in the age of specialists. Trained originally as writers, we learn quickly, see emerging patterns and connect the dots differently than people trained in a single way of thinking. We know the world is changing, and that the world of media is changing faster than most people can manage. So, what worked yesterday may not be the right approach for tomorrow. Because the media landscape is evolving so rapidly, we don’t know everything about media – but we know how to figure it out. Fast.

We study the intersections of trends:

  • social networks, digital media and decentralized communication
  • sustainability, triple-bottom-line companies and social entrepreneurism
  • globalization, the bottom of the pyramid and emerging innovation hubs
  • systems thinking, chaordic organizations and complexity theory
  • change agents, disruptive technology and innovative business models

We draw on a broad variety of media strategies and technology that connect people in new ways. Technology can unlock meaning, de-mystify process and level the playing field. We recognize that systemic design (based on systems theory) is disproportionately influential in the outcomes of working groups. Therefore, we look for smarter ways to organize information, and the people who use it.

If you need someone to help you embrace the paradox, and see your business from a different perspective, we’re looking forward to your call.
