20 Years of Kiah—and We’re Just Getting Started
At Kiah, we don’t just talk strategy—we help you move through it, all the way to real-world impact. For over 20 years, we’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with clients across government, industry, and academia, helping them cut through complexity and deliver outcomes that stick.
And here’s the best part—we’re just getting started. I have had my legs under the desk long enough to read in and now …. Lets get going!
Everything we do is grounded in our values:
🔹 Integrity – We do what we say, and we say it how it is.
🔹 Partnership – We walk with you, not ahead of you.
🔹 Impact – We measure success by the outcomes we help you achieve.
Our approach? It’s bold. It’s practical. And above all—it’s tailored to you.
Here’s where we show up best:
🔹 Government – Consulting & Advisory
We help government think clearly, act strategically, and deliver results that truly matter—with clarity, confidence, and accountability.
🔹 Industry – Kiah Connect
We help businesses grow on their own terms, by navigating public sector partnerships with precision and purpose.
🔹 Kiah Academy – Training That Sticks
Learning that’s real, relevant, and ready to apply. Online, in person, or hybrid—we meet you where you are.
Whether you’re chasing a new opportunity, untangling complexity, or simply curious to hear a fresh perspective—we’d love to connect.
This next chapter at Kiah is big. It’s exciting. And it’s built on two decades of trust, grit, and doing things differently.
We’re in—who’s with us?

My office is cleaned out as I start the journey of standing aside and handing the Kiah MD role over to someone else. Just over 20 years ago I found myself redundant. Without a job. Facing, for the first time, that I was not wanted. Worse, I couldn’t find anyone that I really wanted to […]
Ultimately, how influential you are will depend on how your communication is ‘framed’. Humans are geared towards avoiding losses, and we tend to feel them more than we do gains of an equal value. For example, we know that people defend against a loss twice as hard as they pursue the same gain. Framing an argument that “if take this path, we will stop losing $1m” is twice as influential as saying” we will save a $1m”. Humans…as it turns out, are not only geared towards avoiding losses, but they are influenced by communications that are framed this way.
Preparation is always key to success. The better you set up the contract, the better the outcome you are going to get. Things do go wrong: expectations and understandings can be misaligned, requirements change. Whatever the case or the cause, if you are not satisfied with the delivery, you need to deal with the issue. Avoidance is not a good plan. Issues escalate, and relationships deteriorate. No one wins.
There is too much theory and not enough practicality. We need to flip the script on eLearning to get an impact. Learn more.
Too often ‘Big’ is associated with good, but smaller companies often have specialist and tailored expertise, and are less reliant on scale, a methodology and a slide deck. Small also tend to be more focussed on their client than their bottom line. Founders want to build businesses because they feel they can deliver better outcomes at a better price, and because they are invested in the client outcomes.
