Strategy, governance, and systems consulting for organizations navigating complexity and transformation.
DiversityTalk is a health and social development consultancy working at the intersection of policy, systems transformation, and organizational decision-making.
Founded in 2020, we operate from Toronto and London and work across Canada, the United Kingdom, the Caribbean, and emerging markets in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
We support organizations when decisions carry operational consequences, public accountability, and long-term impact. Our role sits at the intersection of evidence, governance, and real-world conditions.
We advise public, nonprofit, and private institutions navigating regulatory change, workforce transitions, and shifting social expectations. Our work spans policy design, system reform, organizational planning, and applied research in environments shaped by complexity.
DiversityTalk operates through a 3-part transformation architecture:
Evidence-Based Strategy
We combine research rigour with practical implementation pathways, ensuring recommendations are grounded in data and viable in real institutional contexts.
Contextual Intelligence
Solutions are shaped by organizational capacity, regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder dynamics, recognizing that change must fit the environments it serves.
Systems-Based Methodologies
We align leadership, operations, and community perspectives so strategy, governance, and execution reinforce one another and drive sustainable change.
With work spanning Canada, the UK, the Caribbean, and growing international partnerships, we operate across borders, time zones, and cultural contexts.
We collaborate with government bodies, health institutions, NGOs, and grassroots organizations to implement strategy, improve systems, and support measurable change.
