Welcome to Overlap — Helping People Work Better Together
We are a team of strategists who believe strategy works best when it’s designed with people at the centre.
Our mix of backgrounds gives us a wide lens — helping us spot patterns, connect insights, and shape approaches that fit each organization we work with. It’s this blend of design, strategy, and emerging human–AI ways of working that allows us to build solutions that feel practical, grounded, and genuinely aligned with your goals.

We’ve been shaping the way people work since 2011. From our early roots in design to today’s Human–AI Overlap, our evolution reflects a constant drive to help teams think more clearly, collaborate more effectively, and turn complexity into momentum.
