About The Strategy Group

Founded by Dr Jeffrey Tobias in 2003, The Strategy Group has spent over two decades designing strategies that put people first. Based in Bondi Junction, we work across sectors that shape Australia, including local government, aged care, education, finance, and health.

Our belief is simple: strategy without empathy doesn’t stick. The most successful organisations are those that connect meaningfully with the people they serve.

That’s why we focus on customer experience strategies that build trust and loyalty, employee experience strategies that attract and retain top talent, and AI strategies that help organisations stay one step ahead.

With a team of experienced strategists, we help you solve complex challenges while delivering measurable results with purpose and clarity.

The Strategy Group Logo

Our logo is more than just a visual identity. It is inspired by the human brain and reflects how we think and work. Each of the three geometric icons featured in our logo represents a different part of the brain, aligned with the core strategic capabilities we bring to every project.

Cingulate Gyrus

‍This icon represents the cingulate gyrus, the part of the brain that links emotion with behaviour and creativity. It reflects our belief in the power of empathy to observe and uncover new opportunities. This mindset underpins our approach to consulting, helping organisations design solutions that connect deeply with people.

Frontal Lobe

The frontal lobe icon symbolises planning, reward, and motivation. These functions guide our work in shaping strategies that are purposeful, goal-oriented, and designed to deliver long-term value. Just as the frontal lobe drives intentional action, we help organisations commit to change with clarity and confidence.

Temporal Lobe

The temporal lobe icon represents information processing, comprehension, and decision-making. It reflects our use of feedback, iteration, and rapid testing to turn insights into real-world outcomes. This approach allows us to help organisations innovate in a way that is both practical and adaptive.
