About us
Laconic (adj.) Explaining complex problems in a concise and uncomplicated way.
Laconic is a Tasmanian Business Improvement Agency and our unique perspective has been developed over many years working both 'in the business' operationally and 'on the business' strategically, implementing a range of business diagnostics and continuous improvement techniques.
We deliver business improvement, portfolio prioritisation and governance, end-to-end strategic advisory services and much more to our clients, who include some of Tasmania's most-respected organisations.
We saw a gap in the consulting market for providing wholistic services that are not just focused on commercial outcomes and project management. Our core engagement approach is informed by a deep understanding of the problem and the strategic environment that our clients are facing.
Our innovative way of thinking allows us to achieve outstanding results and exceed our client's expectations.
