We work with humans who think deeply, lead boldly, and care about making change that matters.
Whether you’re growing something new or reimagining what exists, we’re here to help you shape the path forward.
Founders

At a crossroads or on the edge of something big.
You’re juggling vision, operations, and stakeholder chaos — and could use a second brain (and a bit of sparkle).
We help you get clear on what matters most, and how to get there faster.
We can help Founders:
- Stop spinning their wheels and spin-out instead
- Pressure-test ideas before you pour in time, money, or sanity
- Map the growth path – identifying pivots, scaling strategies, and quick wins
- Facilitate co-creation sessions with your team, stakeholders or investors to align vision and execution
- Design founder-friendly strategy tools that work for you (not the other way around)
- Coach through decision-making when you need a sharp, empathetic second brain
Innovation Teams
(of all shapes and sizes, and in all sectors!)

Needing help to unlock bold ideas.
You’ve got talent, vision, and maybe a half-built mural of post-its.
But the clarity, alignment, or next step? Still fuzzy.
We help cut through the noise and shape the idea into a plan that sticks.
We help innovation teams:
- Facilitate ideation and problem-framing workshops to unlock creativity
- Prioritise projects using a clarity-driven opportunity framework
- Turn post-it chaos into a strategy roadmap that people can rally behind
- Build stakeholder and ecosystem maps to spot allies, champions, and blockers
- Train teams in creative problem-solving and decision-making under pressure (our neurodivergent superpower power move!)
Business Leaders

Looking for strategy with depth and direction.
You’re responsible for the future — but caught in the now.
You’ve got a feeling the vibes are off – but aren’t quite sure why or where.
For profit, for purpose, or a bit of each? We have you covered!
We help business leaders:
- Step back and see the system through leadership strategy retreats, workshops and sprints
- Diagnose cultural and strategic misalignment – when the vibes are off
- Develop pragmatic strategies for new directions, growth, or change
- Coach executives in clarity-led decision-making and communication
- Craft strategic narratives that get boards, teams, and stakeholders aligned
Organisations

Struggling with sameness, jargon, or strategy fatigue.
If you’re drowning in decks, disconnected from direction, or just over the corporate theatre — we get it.
We bring fresh eyes, sharp thinking, and a different way to lead change.
We help organisations:
- Audit and refresh existing strategies to remove jargon and add clarity
- Co-design future-focused strategies with leaders, staff, and stakeholders
- Deliver stakeholder engagement programs to reconnect strategy with people
- Design and facilitate leadership or innovation training programs
- Act as a sounding board for executive teams navigating complexity
Academic Entrepreneurs

Bridging brilliance to impact.
You’ve got ideas with the power to shift systems, change lives, or open entirely new fields. But the path from research excellence to real-world impact? Messy, political, and rarely written down.
We help you navigate the translation journey – from concept to community, lab bench to launchpad.
We help university innovators:
- Clarify the value proposition of their research beyond the journal article
- Shape research into compelling narratives that resonate with partners, funders, and industry
- Map the translation journey – from grant applications to spinouts and partnerships
- Facilitate workshops that align academic teams with end-users, industry, and community
- Coach academics through the shift from researcher to entrepreneur (without losing their authenticity)
- Build strategies for impact, influence, and investment that move beyond traditional academic metrics
Not sure if we’re the right fit?
That’s okay — let’s chat first. We know we’re a bit different.
We’re not for everyone. But we’re unforgettable when we are.
We can discuss the level of clarity, depth and support that’s right for you.
A note from our Founder, Hannah.

“I created Sparkle because I was tired of seeing brilliant people stuck in broken systems.
Strategy shouldn’t be something that happens to you. It should be something that reflects you – your context, your courage, your way of thinking.
That’s what we do here. We make space for clarity. And then we help you run with it.”
