Who we are
A values-driven boutique consulting firm
As a boutique consulting firm located in Sydney, Iceni is a collaboration of experienced, like-minded professionals with significant experience working with government and organisations delivering public good outcomes. If you’re after tailored, highly perceptive management consultancy services with outcomes that are pragmatic, business focused and resoundingly successful, Iceni is the right fit for you.
Specialist management consultancy for the common good
At Iceni we’re a core team and a broader network of industry experts with a shared ethos. Projects delivering good public outcomes give purpose and meaning to our work, so we’re committed to working exclusively with government, public sector, and not-for-profit organisations and those delivering public good outcomes. As a client you’ll benefit from our wealth of experience in this specialised field.
And we make a point of sharing successful methodologies and applications from our previous projects across the sector to build capability in the industry – even if it costs us a future job.
Our tailored, individual approach
We’re all aware that despite management consulting principles and methodologies being consistent across most industries and sectors, every organisation has its own particular nuances and complexities. The major difference with Iceni is our focus on taking time to gain an in-depth grasp of the different stakeholder perspectives in your organisation, right from the outset. We prefer to be embedded within your teams, so that we can fully understand the drivers and motivations of all concerned – included those affected by the outcomes. Our sensitive, insightful leadership will help empower your team members to achieve repeatable results, delivering outcomes of real and sustainable value.

Why the name Iceni?
Our name was inspired by our admiration for the vision and courage of Boudica, who in 60AD led her Iceni tribe in an uprising against the invading Roman army.
It’s no secret that women are under represented in senior government and consulting firms, right across Australia. At Iceni we have a policy of identifying opportunities for women, and seeking out potential high calibre candidates to fill these roles – either in a contracting capacity or as permanent employees. And as a women-owned business we’re committed to making sure that the barriers (either real or perceived) which hold women back in the workforce are non-existent in our organisation.
Supporting Sydney Women’s Fund
We are passionate about progressing the equality agenda for women from all cultures and backgrounds, and we believe strongly in embodying this within our organisation and the broader industry we work in. As a result of our hugely positive experience with the Sydney Women’s Fund (SWF), we have established the Iceni sub-fund of SWF. We look forward to making further positive contributions to the advancement of women through this initiative.

Women’s Housing Company – Women Staying Well Hub
Iceni is proud to support the Women’s Housing Company Ltd ‘s Women’s Staying Well Hub in Wolloomooloo through the Iceni sub-fund. The Hub brings together a community of older women living in social housing locally, and across the wider WHC tenant population. Through a range of co-designed events and activities, the hub has improved community cohesion and reduced social isolation for women. Our donation will help allow the Hub to expand activities at Woolloomooloo, and set up a sister Hub in Chester Hill.
