History

Trium was founded in 1998, at a time when old business models were being re-examined and radical questions around what it means to be a leader were emerging. Our founders included management consultants, a world class whitewater guide, and a former Marine officer, who came together with a profound sense of mission and possibility. We saw that traditional consulting firms failed to recognize that all strategy problems are leadership problems and vice versa. That insight is at the core of our philosophy and consulting approach. We have served renowned industry leaders and scrappy startups in diverse industries across the globe. Though we’ve continued to learn and evolve over the past 20 years, our mission remains unaltered:

CHANGE THE WORLD BY CHANGING THE WAY BUSINESS LEADERS THINK.

3 Distinctions of Trium

Choosing a partner to help unlock your organization's potential is a critical decision because it's the beginning of an intimate relationship. These qualities set Trium apart from other consultancies:

We design our work around your unique business context—your strategy, leadership, and culture challenges—and what’s required to unlock the potential of your organization. By balancing bold ambition with gritty realism, we simplify the path to achieving breakthrough results.

We give leaders different ways to think about strategy, leadership, and organizational development that free them from previous ways of thinking and leading. Multidisciplinary by design, our deep knowledge of business strategy, human behavior, organizational transformation, and high-performance coaching helps leaders embrace new ways of leading to match the context in which they’re operating.

Our decades of experience allow us to skillfully hold up the mirror to help leaders better understand how they’re organized, what limits them, and how they can become truly great in their roles. We're fiercely committed to truth-telling and transparency, which we use as the catalysts for rapid growth and improvement.
