Closing the trust gap
Across business, government and society, trust is under strain. People are questioning institutions, sceptical of promises and demanding greater transparency.
But trust isn’t built through messaging alone. It’s built through narrative and a shared understanding of why an organization exists, where it’s going, and how it creates value for people.
We help organizations define and activate narratives that people can believe in.
As a partner of Anthropy 2026, we’re joining leaders across sectors to explore how better narratives can help rebuild confidence in business and shape a better future.

Leadership insights
In conversation with John O’Brien, Anthropy Founder
Anthropy founder John O’Brien MBE reflects on the pivotal leadership moments that shaped his belief in bringing people together to drive meaningful change. Those experiences led him to create Anthropy: a cross-sector gathering designed to unite leaders from business, government and civil society to tackle the biggest challenges facing Britain.
Today, Anthropy convenes thousands of leaders each year to share ideas, challenge perspectives, and collaborate on building a better future for the UK.
