About us

We provide insight, evidence and advice to address New Zealand’s biggest public

sector challenges.

We tackle complex challenges for public sector organisations, empowering them to make decisions that positively impact the lives of New Zealanders. Our breadth of expertise enables us to support across the decision-making process, from developing an evidence base and understanding needs and motivations, to designing solution and monitoring results.

Our work is enriched by our cultural insights practice (mahinga maramatanga ahurea), which brings the networks and skills to build a deep understanding of the perspectives of all peoples across Aotearoa New Zealand.

At Verian we commit to bringing uncompromising objectivity, passionate expertise, purposeful problem solving, humble confidence and respectful candour – to everything that we do, everywhere that we work.

We uncover the complex drivers of human behaviour and deliver actionable guidance on how to create meaningful change.

We make sense of shifting public opinion and sentiment across the public sector and political spheres, supporting informed public engagement and meaningful debate.
